A Closer Look

Romans 6-8 is critical to our understand and Chapter 7 is controversial. Walk with me through these 3 chapter and let’s make sure we understand the TRUE Gospel.

There is controversy regarding Romans 7 and there are misleading voices preaching heresy, leading people away from the simple Truth of the Gospel. Let’s take a look at these 3 chapters verse by verse and make sure we are ready and not being deceived.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
This is the great lie being told in the United Methodist and other non‑denominational, gender‑affirming, homosexual all churches. When Jesus said, “It is finished,” they say your sins are forgiven so therefore go sin all you want, but here Paul says, “God forbid!”

Romans 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Leviticus 11:44–45 and echoed in 1 Peter 1:16: “Be holy, for I am holy.” “But I pray!” you may say. You must pray to the Father through the Son, who brought you from spiritual death to life. If you are not born again, brought to life in the Son, the Father does not hear you. John 9:31

Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
You must surrender yourself, inside and out, to Christ. You must allow sinful desires to die with Him.

Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
In His death, we are raised to new life. Listen to the Becket Cook show, how he was delivered from a life of sin in homosexuality and all the other people he had on that had their own Damascus road supernatural encounter with God and left their hurts, their sinful desires, their lifestyles at Jesus’ feet, knowing it was wrong and desiring nothing to separate them from Christ.

Romans 6:5–7 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection… For he that is dead is freed from sin.
If you surrender all to Him, and die to sin, allowing Him to destroy those sinful desires, you will be delivered and set free from strongholds in newness of life, just like Him!

Romans 6:8–10 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him… Death hath no more dominion over him.
Christ died once and defeated this enemy of God, proving that by the resurrection. Death is God’s enemy.

Romans 6:11–12 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Reckon is an accounting term meaning to count. Count yourself, see yourself dead to sin because Jesus freed you from sin. If sin attacks you, tell it you are dead to it in Jesus Christ. Say it out loud!

Romans 6:13–16 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin… Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Could Paul be any more clear? No, you cannot keep choosing perpetual sin and be saved. That’s what being saved means! You’re saved from sin and the death that comes with ALL sin!

Romans 6:17–20 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin… For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
I realize I was born broken, in sin, thanks to my father Adam. I was born separated from God the Father. I could do nothing but sin. We all know we are broken and that’s why everyone struggles so badly with identity and anxiety. But when you’re born again, supernaturally, by the blood of the Lamb, you are made new and all that sin falls away. You have a new identity in Him.

Romans 6:21–23 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death… But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Sin always brings destruction and death. Jesus supernaturally rids us of sin. He restores the bruised and rotting sin and expects us to go forth living as a pristine apple, always allowing Him the leeway in our lives to constantly clean away the sin that desires to rot and kill us. The soul that sins must die (Ezekiel 18:20). Jesus is the only way.

Blessings
