“We died to sin” – what does it mean? (6:2)

·      Paul does not mean that Christians are no longer responsive to sin.

·      There is a change of position (identity). 

- No longer “in Adam” but “in Christ”.

- No longer sinners but saints.

- No longer under the power of sin.

- The change took place through our union with Christ (6:3-5).

Being a saint does not mean that we are sinless; rather it means that we can say no to sin because we are joined to Christ and share in the power of His resurrection (6:6-10)

The starting premise for sanctification (6:11): 

“We need to remember who we really are, so that we can act accordingly.” (N. T. Wright)

2.         LIVE IT OUT

a.       Share one sinful habit that you have overcome completely or to a large extent, in the course of your Christian life.  How did you manage to have victory over it? 

·         After sharing, take time as a group to praise God and give glory to Him.

b.      Break into groups of the same gender.  Share a sinful habit that continues to affect your life. 

·         Reflect: is your sinful habit related to what you feed on through your eyes, what you do or didn't do with your hands and feet, or what comes out of your mouth? 

·         Pray for each other, that God might empower us to do what is right.

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Hint:  read Galatians 4 for an idea of what "under law" might mean.
