A Study of Romans 6

This week, we discussed how, in the death and resurrection of Christ, we all, as Christians, are given the promise of salvation in Him, as seen in the death to this age and resurrection in the Messianic age sealed in our baptism, and reaffirmed as we live our life in Christ. We also covered the issue of sin, how it can enslave us, and how we are ultimately called to serve God, Who, in coming in the form of a Suffering Servant in the Person of Jesus Christ, calls us to a life of service in Him, as He continues to serve us in His endless love.
