  2. ROMANS 1:1-17 Introductory Remarks 1:18 – 3:20 The Problem: We are all sinners 3:21 – 8:39 The Solution: Righteous through Christ 9 – 11 Israel’s Future 12 – 15:13 Practical Living 15:14 – 16 Concluding Remarks

  3. ROMANSThe Freedom from Sin

  4. ROMANSThe Freedom from Sin • We are dead . . . To sin

  5. Romans 6:1-7 (NET Bible) • 1 What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase? 2 Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.

  6. Romans 6:1-7 (NET Bible) • 5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection. 6 We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 (For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)

  7. ROMANSThe Freedom from Sin “Sin has neither the right nor the power.” -Bengel

  8. ROMANSThe Freedom from Sin • We are dead . . . To sin

  9. ROMANSThe Freedom from Sin • We are dead . . . To sin • We are alive . . . To God

  10. Romans 6:8-11 (NET Bible) • 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

  11. ROMANSThe Freedom from Sin Sanctification is God’s progressively separating a believer from sin to Himself and transforming his total life experience toward holiness and purity.” Sanctification refers to God’s work of transforming believers so that the legal declaration of innocence (justification) is progressively worked out in life through the power of the Holy Spirit.

  12. ROMANSThe Freedom from Sin Justification Instantaneous Sin is pardoned Declared righteous Sanctification Gradual Sin is subdued Made righteous

  14. ROMANSThe Freedom from Sin • We are dead . . . To sin • We are alive . . . To God

  15. ROMANSThe Freedom from Sin • We are dead . . . To sin • We are alive . . . To God • We have a new Master . . . And He’s God

  16. Romans 6:12-14 (NET Bible) • 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires, 13 and do not present your members to sin as instruments to be used for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments to be used for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

  17. ROMANSThe Freedom from Sin “It is for you, O man in Christ, to say to the enemy, defeated yet present, ‘Thou shalt not reign; I veto thee in the name of My King.’” -H.C.G. Moule

  18. ROMANSThe Freedom from Sin • Application • Recognize your freedom from sin • Thank God for setting you free already • Consider yourself dead to sin but alive to God • Do not let sin reign in your life; do not obey its desires; do not present your members to sin

  20. ROMANS 1:1-17 Introductory Remarks 1:18 – 3:20 The Problem: We are all sinners 3:21 – 8:39 The Solution: Righteous through Christ 9 – 11 Israel’s Future 12 – 15:13 Practical Living 15:14 – 16 Concluding Remarks

  21. ROMANSThe Beauty of Slavery

  22. ROMANSThe Beauty of Slavery • You are enslaved to the one you obey

  23. Romans 6:15-16 (NET Bible) • 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness?

  24. ROMANSThe Beauty of Slavery • You are enslaved to the one you obey

  25. ROMANSThe Beauty of Slavery • You are enslaved to the one you obey • Since you obey God, you are enslaved to Him

  26. Romans 6:17-20 (NET Bible) • 17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were entrusted to, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.

  27. Romans 6:17-20 (NET Bible) • 19 (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.

  28. ROMANSThe Beauty of Slavery “There is no absolute independence for man; our nature requires us to serve some master.” -J. Denney

  29. Matthew 6:24 (NET Bible) • 24 No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.

  30. ROMANSThe Beauty of Slavery • You are enslaved to the one you obey • Since you obey God, you are enslaved to Him

  31. ROMANSThe Beauty of Slavery • You are enslaved to the one you obey • Since you obey God, you are enslaved to Him • Slavery to God leads to holiness and life

  32. Romans 6:21-23 (NET Bible) • 21 So what benefit did you then reap from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life. 23 For the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  33. ROMANSThe Beauty of Slavery “The freedom brought by grace does not provide carte blanche to continue in sin. On the contrary, grace places the believer under obligation to holiness and growth in righteousness.” -Robert Mounce

  34. ROMANSThe Beauty of Slavery • Application • Who is your master today? • Who was your master in 2005? • Who do you want to be your master in 2006? • Learn how to please your Master. • Rid your life of elements that displease your Master. • Daily present your members to God.

  37. ROMANSThe Release from Law

  38. ROMANSThe Release from Law • The Principle: Death dissolves a legal relationship

  39. Romans 7:1-3 (NET Bible) • 1 Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law is lord over a person as long as he lives? 2 For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage. 3 So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she is joined to another man, she is not an adulteress.

  40. ROMANSThe Release from Law • The Principle: Death dissolves a legal relationship

  41. ROMANSThe Release from Law • The Principle: Death dissolves a legal relationship • The Application: We are now joined to a person rather than a code

  42. Romans 7:4-6 (NET Bible) • 4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful desires, aroused by the law, were active in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.

  43. ROMANSThe Release from Law • The Principle: Death dissolves a legal relationship • The Application: We are now joined to a person rather than a code

  44. ROMANSThe Release from Law • The Principle: Death dissolves a legal relationship • The Application: We are now joined to a person rather than a code • We are released from the Law

  45. 1 Corinthians 7:19 (NET Bible) • 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Instead, keeping God’s commandments is what counts. 1 Corinthians 9:21 (NET Bible) • 21 To those free from the law I became like one free from the law (though I am not free from God’s law but under the law of Christ) to gain those free from the law.
