  1. Romans Part 2 Lesson 4

  2. What is Romans 6:1-7 about? • The righteous died to sin with Christ • They don’t continue in sin even though there is grace from God

  3. Baptism • Baptizo – verb. To be immersed or submerged; to cleanse by dipping; to wash; to be overwhelmed • Baptisma – noun – the result of baptizo

  4. Baptism used in Rom. 6:3-4 • Baptized into Christ Jesus • Baptized into His death • Buried with Him through baptism

  5. Baptism in Romans 6:5 • …united with the likeness of His death and resurrection • Represents being united with Christ • A spiritual identification with Jesus in His death and resurrection

  6. Cross-references • What happens when one dies with Christ? • Rom. 7:4-6 Frees one from the Law • 2 Cor. 5:14-15 Believers died to the Law and now live by faith (theme of Romans) • The believer is to live a righteous life for God • Col. 2:20-21 Believers died to submitting to decrees, keeping rules and regulations

  7. Cross-references • Col. 3:3 Result of dying with Christ – our life is hidden with Him in God • 2 Tim. 2:11 If we died with Him, we will live with Him • 1 Pet. 2:24 Believers die to sin and live to righteousness

  8. The Old Self • Romans 6:6 The old self (man) was crucified with Him. • “Old” – palaios: Old, not new, what is of long standing. Means the sinful and unregenerate self previous to salvation, standing in contrast to the “kainos” qualitatively new, regenerate man. (Zod.)

  9. The Old Self • Man – “anthropos”: The old man or the former unrenewed disposition of heart, and the new man means the disposition or attitude which is created and cherished by the new nature that Jesus Christ gives to the believer. (Zod.) • There is a change when one is crucified and raised with Christ - salvation

  10. Cross-references • Eph. 4:20-24 Old self refers to the former manner of life. Who believers were and how they lived before being saved. • The new is put on, that which is being renewed in mind (12:1) • Romans 6:11 “Consider” – has to do with the mind • NEW – no longer old and enslaved to sin

  11. Cross-references • Col. 3:5-11 Believers laid aside the old self with its evil practices, at salvation • The NEW self is being renewed to a true knowledge according to His image

  12. Body of Sin – Done Away With • Body – soma: the whole man, the seat of sinful affections and appetites. Not the physical body. • Sin – to miss the mark. All have sinned • So the “body of sin” is a body controlled by sin and whose function is sin. • This describes those who practice sin as referenced in Romans 1:18-3:20

  13. “Might be done away with” • “Katargeo” – to be idle. To render inactive, idle, useless, ineffective. Paul often uses it to signify more than hindrance or cessation from outward activity, thus to rest, as in Luke 13:7 where the idle earth does not denote unused or untilled, but rather unfruitful land lying fallow, opposite of “energes”, active. To make void, to put and end to, to deprive of force or authority.

  14. Romans 6:7 Result? • Died to sin means free from it. • This is a spiritual identity • Believers: Have taken on His life Are raised in the likeness of Christ Have a new life No longer continue in sin

  15. Romans 6:8-23 Commands • Consider it so: Verse 11 • Do not let sin reign in your mortal body. Don’t obey its lusts: Verse 12 • Don’t present the members of your body as instruments of unrighteousness: Vs. 13 • Present yourselves, body members, to God as those alive from the dead. Vs. 13

  16. Result of Presenting Yourselves? • Sanctification with the outcome of eternal life. Verse 22 • Eternal life is a free gift contrasted with the wages or payment of sin, death. Verse 23
