Dead To Sin, Alive To God - Romans 6:1-14

Transformative Truth: Baptism portrays death to sin and new life in Christ.

"Run, John, run!" the Law commands But gives neither feet nor hands. Better news the gospel brings: It bids me fly and gives me wings!

Baptism portrays death to sin and new life in Christ.

1. What happened to us?

2. Why is this significant?

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
Titus 2:11-14

3. What do we do now?

11 So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus. 12 Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. 13 Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an nstrument to do what is right for the glory of God. Romans 6:11-13 NLT
