No longer in sin





 


𝗡𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗻


Some people, at the moment of first glance, due to the tone or the boldness of the phrase above, might think this is an excerpt that condemns. 

It's best if you read through.

 

 

(1) 

Romans 6:1 

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?"


Romans 6:2 

"God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"


 

 

This text above has been used by many people unto condemnation or to exalt the "power" of sin. Thereby making the listener or reader become ignorant to the finished work of Christ by twicking with his/her emotions.

 

 

Let's use the law of pretext here.

 

 (2)

Romans 5:20 

"Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:"


Romans 5:21

" That as sin has reigned to death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."

 

 

In the previous Chapter, Apostle Paul is found using phrases like "Sin abounded/reigned, Grace abounds/reigns much more".

 

 

So the above verses are simply saying "Howsoever death and sin reigned (because of Adam), Grace and righteousness now reigns much more". 

Meaning the effect of sin during the time of Adam is now ineffective and Grace in Christ now reigns much more than it ever did.

 

 

 

So here, the Above verses (2) is not placing emphasis on sin but giving much more authority to Grace.

 

 

 

 

Romans 6:1 

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?"


Romans 6:2 

"God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"


 

 To understand Romans 6 vs 1, let's use the law of pretext

 

 

 

(3)

Romans 6:10 

For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him].


Romans 6:11 

Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.


 

 

The above verses (3) explain to us that through Christ Jesus, we are no longer in fellowship with sin because we are dead to it but we, who have believed, are now alive to God.

That means we are now in an unbroken fellowship with God through Christ. 

 

 

 

 

So explaining this verse 👇

 


 Romans 6:1 

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?"


Romans 6:2 

"God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"

 

 

Note it said, can we continue IN sin? Not IN sin but TO sin? 

Therefore the answer is NO because we are dead to sin. (We are no longer alive in sin/ sin has no effect on our relationship with God).

 

 

 

We can no longer be found in sin. God cannot see you in sin because you are not there. 

 

 

 

You are now in Christ. You are now in an eternal fellowship with God. 

 

 

 

Therefore you cannot be a sinner. As you have put your Faith in Christ, you are righteous. You are perfect. You are beautiful. Without blemish or spots. No rigor or any substance can be found in you. 


 

 

Why? 

 

 

 

You are no longer in sin. You are in Christ.

The Truth

 People tend to only understand what they believe in. . . . That's the scary thing about this life. People tend to only have understanding of what they believe in and only that. . . . Look at a child struggling with maths, for example. That little boy or girl is not dumber than the other ones or not blunter then the rest. The kid just doesn't believe in the subject, maths, for satisfaction.  . . . The little kid rather plays a lot of video games or watch movies and cartoons 24/7. Why? That's what the kid believes in for satisfaction. Hence he understands everything about video games and doesn't have a clue about anything regarding maths. . . . The same applies to every human being. Every single individual are more likely to have an understanding in what he or she believes is the Truth. . . . That's why there are diverse religions, political ideologies, conspiracy theories e.t.c. Also consisting of people who have gone deep into that specific belief. These people are...

ITS ONLY CHRIST THAT SAVES

 ITS ONLY CHRIST THAT SAVES. Romans 10:1 Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God on behalf of the Jewish people is that they would be saved. Romans 10:2 I can assure you that they are deeply devoted to God, but they are misguided. Romans 10:3  They don't understand how to receive God's approval. So they try to set up their own way to get it, and they have not accepted God's way for receiving his approval. Romans 10:4 Christ is the fulfillment of Moses' Teachings so that everyone who has faith may receive God's approval. Apostle Paul saw that his people, though were very devoted about God, had no idea that they weren't saved. The Jews believed that the only way to God was through the Law of Moses and fulfilling its morals.  Jesus said "I am the Way, Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me". The Jews, though believed there is a Messiah, didn't know what the Messiah was saving them from. Hence, they rejec...

THE GOSPEL part 1

    THE GOSPEL part 1 What is the Gospel?  The Gospel is the message of GRACE..... as distinguished from the LAW.That means that the message of the Gospel (Grace) is a clearer image or better explanation of the message the Law was trying to portray. *Colossians 2 vs 17 *Hebrews 10 vs 1 What is the Law? Also known as the Torah, the Law is the name the Jews gave the first five books of Moses. It comprises of both the law given to Moses on Mount Sinai and the laws handwritten by Moses for the people of Israel. The Law was made to prevent the people of Israel from sinning. In Romans 2 vs 14, Apostle Paul revealed that there was also Law for the Gentiles such as Consciousness or thoughts judging their actions.      The Gospel cannot be fully understood and explained from the OLD TESTAMENT because Christ and His work is the true revelation. The Law was a faulty and unstable description of God's plan for mankind. What is the Gospel? "For God so loved the world, th...
