I?m looking over Romans 6 again and just thinking about that bit about being buried with Jesus and being raised from the dead with Christ. That whole walk in the newness of life just rings a bit hollow when I think about my constant stumbling into sin. It can happen on the spur of the moment or after some pre-planning. Bam! There goes that tongue again. Oh no! Here comes anger! Over and over and over and over again. Duck! That was pride!
What is the purpose of Romans 6? What role does Romans 6
play in the believer?s sanctification? According to Romans 6, how does a
believer have practical power over sin?
Read the portion and think it out. Also check out the last study question.
You want to know where is God right now? You want to know God personally? You want to be saved? You find yourself in a dead end and you wound up jumping here through a link or a search engine like google or yahoo? Maybe you’re part of the group of people who are believers of religion or church or morals but you just have some questions? I don’t know your story but you’re here. If you have a Bible you can look at the verses I’m putting here or you can click on the links (if they’re there) or copy paste the verses into my Bible Search finder on the sidebar.
Rebecca has fired her pellet gun at my so-called ability duck and will surely knock the Archive back down to TTLB?s Slimy Molusk level. Realize that the words written here may disagree with her stance, but I still see her as a sister and I believe she still will see me as a brother. Therefore, read any commentary with that knowledge and if you are a firm believer of Total Depravity in the Calvinist sense, realize that I am fallen?just like yourself?and we both have been saved by God?s grace (Eph 2:8).
Mind you I don?t agree with lots of the stuff in these
posts. Some of them raise good questions via the verse usage but draw very bad
conclusions, some of them are way long while others deal with the topic only
tangentially. Indeed, some of these may skillfully be used against me (the
audacity!) I link them merely to provoke thought and not as an endorsement. If they prove Rebecca’s point or not, either way I’ll continue my backslide into the TTLB backalley.
