Roman 6:1–23

January 31, 2013

We all have a choice to make, and that choice is found in Romans 6:16.   

"You can follow sin, which brings spiritual death";  

OR

"You can obey God, which makes you right with him."

The choice is ours. There is so much danger in abusing God's grace, in thinking we can live however we want because God's grace covers all our sins. God's graces does cover all our sins, but that does not eliminate our responsibility to put to death our old sinful selves and to live for Christ.  

IF—we choose to continue to follow sin (even after receiving God's grace) THEN—we are purposely defying God's authority and will for our lives, and purposely defying God's authority brings spiritual death. IF—we choose to surrender all and become a servant to righteousness, THEN—that makes us right with HIM, which is the only thing that truly matters in life.

Romans 6:23 - "When people sin, they earn what sin pays—death. But God gives us a free gift—life forever in Christ Jesus our Lord."

The choice is ours. Spiritual Death—or—Abundant Life. I choose to surrender ALL.
