Romans: The Gospel for Everyone — Week 13 - Romans 6:1-4

Paul opens Romans 6 with a question the early church had genuinely embraced: shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? His answer—rendered here as the strongest possible refusal—exposes the false logic that more sin invites more grace. The heart of these four verses is baptism. Drawing on Romans 6:1-4, this study argues that grace should make us sprint away from sin, not toward it, because at our immersion we were united with the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Believer's baptism is examined alongside the Great Commission, the thief on the cross, and the meaning of the Greek baptizo . The application is sober and direct: the purpose of dying to sin and rising with Christ is to live a new life . Believers are called to remember the commitment they made and to live it with integrity.
