Show Notes
Anyone who is placed into Christ can no longer live under the bondage of sin but submits to the authority of the Holy Spirit, who is abundantly at work in your new life.
Main Text: Romans 6:1–4 (ESV) 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
