Have you ever thought of yourself of being ‘set free?’ What have you been set free from? What might your life have looked like if Christ did NOT set you free? 3. Why do you think the picture of baptism is so important? Read verses 3-4. What is baptism a picture of? 4. What implications are there for you personally if it is indeed true that you have been “set free from sin?” (verse 7) What does that infer or imply? 5. What do you think it means to ‘not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires?’ (verse 12). Do you think you have a choice to sin or not? 6. How do you think these truths of Romans 6:1-14 would change your life and the way you live? This week ask God to reveal to you the power behind these truths.
