2. Opening Prayer
Heavenly Father,
We come into Your presence this morning with grateful hearts.
Thank You for the privilege of gathering together as Your people.
Thank You for Your goodness, Your mercy, and Your unfailing love.
Above all, thank You for the salvation You have provided through Jesus Christ.
Through His death, our sins can be forgiven.
Through His resurrection, we have the promise of eternal life.
And through the power of Your Holy Spirit, we can live new lives that bring honor and glory to Your name.
Father, forgive us when we take Your grace for granted.
Forgive us when we allow old habits, selfish desires, and sinful attitudes to influence our lives.
Help us remember that we no longer belong to the kingdom of darkness.
We belong to Jesus Christ.
Strengthen those who are struggling with temptation.
Encourage those who are discouraged.
Comfort those who are grieving.
And draw those who do not know Jesus Christ into a saving relationship with Him.
May our worship today reflect our love for You.
And may Your Word transform the way we think, speak, and live.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
3. Offertory Scripture and Prayer
Scripture: Romans 12:1 (KJV)
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”
Offertory Prayer
Heavenly Father,
We thank You for the many blessings You have provided.
You have given us life, strength, family, friends, and the necessities of daily living.
But Your greatest gift is salvation through Jesus Christ.
Through Him, You have forgiven our sins and called us to live new lives.
As we receive our tithes and offerings this morning, help us give with grateful and willing hearts.
May these gifts support the ministry of this church, provide assistance to those in need, and help carry the Gospel to our community and beyond.
Teach us to be faithful stewards of everything You have entrusted to us.
And may our giving reflect our desire to honor You with every part of our lives.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
4. Prayer Before the Sermon
Father,
As we open the sixth chapter of Romans, we ask You to guide our understanding.
Your Word reminds us that through Jesus Christ, we have died to sin and been raised to walk in newness of life.
Help us understand what that means.
Teach us that Your grace is not permission to continue in disobedience.
Rather, Your grace frees us from sin’s dominion and empowers us to live for You.
Reveal the areas of our lives where we are still allowing sin to exercise influence.
Strengthen our determination to resist temptation.
And help us surrender ourselves completely to Jesus Christ.
May Your Holy Spirit apply these truths to our hearts.
And may everything we learn today draw us closer to our Savior.
In His name we pray.
Amen.
5. Sermon Manuscript
Dead to Sin, Alive to God: The New Life in Christ
Romans 6:1–23
Introduction: Does Grace Give Us Permission to Sin?
Imagine someone receiving a full pardon for a serious crime.
The governor signs the pardon.
The prison doors open.
And the individual walks out as a free man.
Now imagine that person saying:
“Since I have been pardoned, I suppose I can go back and commit the same crimes again.”
That would be a terrible misunderstanding of the purpose of a pardon.
Freedom from punishment is not permission to return to wrongdoing.
And that brings us to Romans chapter 6.
In Romans 1, Paul declared that the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation.
In Romans 2, he demonstrated that religious privilege and moral accomplishments cannot make anyone righteous before God.
In Romans 3, he established that all humanity stands guilty before God, but sinners can be justified freely through faith in Jesus Christ.
In Romans 4, he used Abraham as an example of justification by faith.
In Romans 5, he explained the blessings of justification.
We have peace with God.
We stand in grace.
We possess hope even in suffering.
And we have been reconciled to God through Jesus Christ.
Then Paul concluded Romans 5 with a wonderful statement.
Romans 5:20 says:
“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:”
That is glorious news.
God’s grace is greater than our sin.
But someone might misunderstand that statement.
If God’s grace increases where sin increases, why not continue sinning?
Wouldn’t more sin provide an opportunity for more grace?
Paul anticipates that question.
Romans 6:1 says:
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?”
Then he gives one of the strongest answers in Scripture.
Romans 6:2 says:
“God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”
Paul’s answer is clear.
Grace does not give Christians permission to continue in sin.
Grace changes our relationship to sin.
Through Jesus Christ, we have died to sin’s dominion and been raised to live new lives.
Today, I want us to consider five great truths from Romans chapter 6.
I. God’s Grace Is Not Permission to Continue in Sin (Romans 6:1–2)
Paul begins with a question.
Romans 6:1 says:
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?”
Some people misunderstand God’s grace.
They reason that because salvation is a gift, obedience must not matter.
If Jesus has forgiven our sins, why should we be concerned about how we live?
If grace is greater than sin, why not continue sinning?
Paul rejects that thinking completely.
Grace Does Not Make Sin Acceptable
Romans 6:2 says:
“God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?”
The phrase “God forbid” expresses strong rejection.
Paul is saying that the idea is completely inconsistent with the Gospel.
God’s grace does not make sin harmless.
It does not make disobedience acceptable.
And it does not eliminate the importance of holiness.
Salvation Changes Our Relationship to Sin
Before salvation, sin exercised dominion over us.
We were separated from God.
Our desires were corrupted.
And we lacked the spiritual life necessary to please Him.
But through Jesus Christ, something remarkable has happened.
We have been united with Christ.
Our old relationship to sin has been broken.
And we have received new life.
Grace Produces Gratitude and Obedience
When we truly understand what Jesus Christ has done for us, our response should not be:
“How much sin can I get away with?”
Our response should be:
“Lord, how can I live in a way that honors You?”
Grace should produce gratitude.
And gratitude should produce obedience.
Illustration: The Rescued Prisoner
Imagine a prisoner who has been rescued from a cruel master.
For years, he lived under oppression.
He had no freedom.
No hope.
And no ability to escape.
Then someone pays the price for his freedom.
He is released.
Would it make sense for him to voluntarily return to his former master?
Of course not.
He has been set free.
In a far greater way, Jesus Christ has freed believers from sin’s dominion.
Why would we willingly return to the slavery from which He delivered us?
Application
Are you treating God’s grace as an excuse for disobedience?
Perhaps you have allowed certain sinful habits to remain in your life.
Maybe you have convinced yourself that certain attitudes or behaviors are not important.
Remember that Jesus Christ did not save us so that we could remain under sin’s control.
He saved us to live new lives.
Grace does not give us permission to sin. It gives us freedom from sin’s dominion.
II. We Have Been United with Christ in His Death and Resurrection (Romans 6:3–7)
Paul now explains why believers should no longer live under sin’s dominion.
We have been united with Jesus Christ.
Baptism Pictures Our Union with Christ
Romans 6:3–4 says:
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?”
“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”
Paul uses baptism to illustrate our identification with Christ.
When a believer is immersed in water, it pictures burial with Christ.
When the believer rises from the water, it pictures resurrection to new life.
The water itself does not save.
Salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
But baptism provides a powerful public testimony of what Christ has accomplished.
Our Old Life Has Been Crucified with Christ
Romans 6:6 says:
“Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.”
The “old man” refers to our former identity in Adam, under the dominion of sin.
Through union with Christ, that old identity has been decisively judged.
We no longer belong to sin as our master.
This does not mean that Christians become sinlessly perfect.
We still face temptation.
We still struggle with sinful desires.
And we still need to confess our sins and seek God’s forgiveness.
But sin no longer has the same rightful authority over us.
We Are Freed from Sin’s Dominion
Romans 6:7 says:
“For he that is dead is freed from sin.”
Paul is explaining that death ends the authority of the former master.
Through our union with Christ in His death, we have been released from sin’s dominion.
Illustration: The Old Uniform
Imagine a soldier who has completed his military service.
He has been honorably discharged.
His former commanding officer no longer has authority to issue orders to him.
The soldier may still recognize the officer.
He may remember his former duties.
But the relationship has changed.
The officer no longer possesses command authority over him.
In a similar way, sin may still tempt the Christian.
But sin is no longer our rightful master.
Application
Remember who you are in Jesus Christ.
You are not merely a sinner trying to become a better person.
If you have trusted Christ, you are a new creation.
You belong to Him.
Your old identity has been broken.
And you have been called to walk in newness of life.
The Christian life is not merely an improved version of the old life. It is a new life through union with Jesus Christ.
III. We Must Consider Ourselves Dead to Sin and Alive to God (Romans 6:8–14)
Paul now moves from what Christ has accomplished to how believers should respond.
Christ’s Resurrection Guarantees His Victory
Romans 6:9 says:
“Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.”
Jesus Christ died once.
He rose from the grave.
And He will never die again.
Death has been defeated.
His resurrection is permanent.
And believers share in the benefits of His victory.
Reckon Yourselves Dead to Sin
Romans 6:11 says:
“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
The word “reckon” means to count or consider something to be true.
Paul is not telling believers to pretend that sin no longer exists.
He is telling us to recognize the spiritual reality of our union with Christ.
We have died to sin’s dominion.
And we are alive to God.
Do Not Let Sin Reign
Romans 6:12 says:
“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.”
Notice that Paul gives a command.
Do not let sin reign.
This means believers must actively resist sinful desires.
We must not surrender control of our lives to temptation.
Present Yourselves to God
Romans 6:13 says:
“Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.”
Paul tells us to present ourselves to God.
Our minds.
Our eyes.
Our ears.
Our hands.
Our feet.
Our words.
Our time.
And our abilities.
Every part of our lives should be used for God’s glory.
Sin Shall Not Have Dominion
Romans 6:14 says:
“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
What a wonderful promise!
Sin does not have to rule the Christian’s life.
Through God’s grace, we have been freed from its dominion.
Illustration: The Open Door
Imagine someone who has been locked in a room for many years.
Then one day, the door is opened.
The lock is removed.
And the person is told that he is free.
But instead of walking out, he continues sitting in the room.
He behaves as though the door is still locked.
That would be tragic.
The freedom has been provided.
But he has not begun living in that freedom.
Some Christians live that way.
Jesus Christ has freed them from sin’s dominion.
Yet they continue allowing old habits and sinful attitudes to control their lives.
Application
Ask yourself a practical question.
What areas of my life am I still surrendering to sin?
Perhaps it is anger.
Pride.
Bitterness.
Dishonesty.
Impure thoughts.
Selfishness.
Or an unwillingness to forgive.
God calls us to stop presenting ourselves to sin and begin presenting ourselves to Him.
Victory over sin begins with recognizing who we are in Christ and surrendering ourselves to God.
IV. We Must Choose Whom We Will Serve (Romans 6:15–19)
Paul now returns to a question similar to the one he asked at the beginning of the chapter.
Romans 6:15 says:
“What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.”
Again, Paul rejects the idea that grace permits disobedience.
Everyone Serves a Master
Romans 6:16 says:
“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”
Paul uses the language of slavery to explain spiritual allegiance.
Everyone serves something.
Some people serve sinful desires.
Others surrender themselves to God.
But no one lives without influence or allegiance.
Sin Promises Freedom but Produces Slavery
Sin often presents itself as freedom.
“Do whatever you want.”
“Follow your desires.”
“Ignore God’s commandments.”
“Live for yourself.”
But sin does not produce genuine freedom.
It produces bondage.
The person who repeatedly surrenders to sin becomes increasingly controlled by it.
Obedience Produces a Different Kind of Life
Romans 6:17 says:
“But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.”
Notice the phrase “from the heart.”
Christian obedience is not merely outward conformity.
It begins with a transformed heart.
God changes our desires.
He teaches us to love what is good.
And He enables us to pursue righteousness.
Servants of Righteousness
Romans 6:18 says:
“Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.”
What a wonderful exchange!
We have been freed from sin’s dominion.
And we now belong to God.
Our lives should reflect that new allegiance.
Illustration: Two Employers
Imagine someone working for two employers.
One employer demands dishonest behavior.
The other requires honesty and integrity.
The employee cannot faithfully obey both when their instructions conflict.
He must decide whose authority he will follow.
In the Christian life, sin and righteousness represent opposing directions.
We cannot surrender ourselves to both.
Application
Every day, we make decisions that reveal our allegiance.
Will we tell the truth?
Will we forgive someone who has hurt us?
Will we resist temptation?
Will we honor God with our words?
Will we use our time wisely?
Will we seek to serve others?
These choices matter.
They reveal whether we are presenting ourselves to sin or to God.
Christian freedom is not the freedom to do whatever we please. It is the freedom to live as God intended.
V. Sin Pays Wages, but God Gives Eternal Life (Romans 6:20–23)
Paul concludes Romans 6 with one of the most familiar verses in the Bible.
Romans 6:23 says:
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
This verse summarizes the contrast between sin and grace.
Sin Produces Shame and Death
Romans 6:21 asks:
“What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.”
Paul asks believers to remember the results of their former lives.
What lasting benefit did sin provide?
Did it produce peace?
Did it create genuine joy?
Did it bring them closer to God?
No.
Sin produced shame.
Bondage.
And death.
Righteousness Produces Holiness
Romans 6:22 says:
“But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.”
Notice the contrast.
Before salvation, we were servants of sin.
Now, we belong to God.
Before salvation, our lives produced the fruit of sin.
Now, we are called to pursue holiness.
Before salvation, we faced condemnation and death.
Now, we possess the promise of eternal life.
The Wages of Sin
Romans 6:23 begins:
“For the wages of sin is death…”
Wages are something we earn.
They are the payment for work performed.
And Paul tells us that sin pays wages.
Those wages are death.
Physical death entered the human experience because of sin.
And apart from salvation in Jesus Christ, sinners face eternal separation from God.
The Gift of God
But Paul does not stop with death.
He continues:
“…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Notice the difference.
Sin pays wages.
God gives a gift.
Death is what sin earns.
Eternal life is what God provides through grace.
We cannot earn eternal life.
We cannot purchase it.
And we cannot deserve it.
It is God’s gift through Jesus Christ.
Illustration: The Two Envelopes
Imagine receiving two envelopes.
The first contains a paycheck.
You earned that money.
It represents compensation for work performed.
The second contains a gift.
You did nothing to earn it.
Someone freely provided it because of generosity and love.
Romans 6:23 presents the same contrast.
Sin pays wages.
God gives a gift.
And the difference between the two is the difference between death and eternal life.
Application
What are you receiving?
The wages of sin?
Or the gift of God?
Perhaps you have never trusted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.
You cannot save yourself.
You cannot erase your sins.
And you cannot earn eternal life.
But Jesus Christ has provided salvation through His death and resurrection.
Turn to Him in repentance and faith.
Receive the gift of eternal life.
And begin a new life in Christ.
Sin pays what we deserve, but God gives what we could never earn.
Conclusion: A New Life in Christ
Romans chapter 6 teaches us that salvation changes everything.
It changes our standing before God.
It changes our relationship to sin.
It changes our spiritual identity.
And it changes the way we are called to live.
Through Jesus Christ, we have died to sin’s dominion.
We have been raised to walk in newness of life.
And we have been called to present ourselves to God.
Think about the five truths we have considered.
First, God’s grace is not permission to continue in sin.
Second, we have been united with Christ in His death and resurrection.
Third, we must consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God.
Fourth, we must choose whom we will serve.
And fifth, sin pays wages, but God gives eternal life.
Now, let me ask you a question.
Are you living in the freedom Jesus Christ has provided?
Perhaps you have trusted Christ as your Savior.
But you are still allowing old habits and sinful attitudes to control your life.
You know what God’s Word says.
You understand what is right.
But you continue surrendering to temptation.
Remember Romans 6:11.
“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
You no longer belong to sin.
You belong to Jesus Christ.
And through His grace, you can live a new life.
Perhaps you have never trusted Jesus Christ.
Romans 6:23 speaks directly to you.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
You cannot earn eternal life.
But you can receive it through faith in Jesus Christ.
He died for your sins.
He rose from the grave.
And He offers forgiveness and eternal life to everyone who believes.
Today, you can turn to Him in repentance and faith.
For those of us who already know Christ, Romans 6 gives us a challenge.
Stop living as though sin is still your master.
Stop surrendering to old habits.
Stop allowing sinful desires to control your decisions.
And begin living as people who belong to Jesus Christ.
Present your minds to Him.
Present your words to Him.
Present your actions to Him.
Present your time to Him.
And present your entire lives to Him.
Because the greatest truth of Romans 6 is this:
Through Jesus Christ, we are no longer slaves to sin. We have been set free to live for God.
Amen.
6. Closing Invitation
As we prepare to sing Just As I Am, I want to invite you to respond to the truth of God’s Word.
Perhaps you have never trusted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.
You may recognize that you are a sinner.
You may understand that sin brings death.
And you may realize that you cannot save yourself.
But Romans 6:23 reminds us that God’s gift is eternal life through Jesus Christ.
You can receive that gift today.
Turn to Jesus Christ in repentance and faith.
Trust Him as your Lord and Savior.
And receive the forgiveness and new life He provides.
Perhaps you are already a Christian, but you have been struggling with sin.
You may have allowed old habits to return.
You may be dealing with temptation.
Or perhaps you have been living as though sin still controls your life.
Remember that through Jesus Christ, you have been freed from sin’s dominion.
Surrender yourself to Him.
Ask for His strength.
And begin walking in newness of life.
Whatever the Lord is speaking to your heart, respond to Him today.
7. Invitation Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the wonderful message of Romans chapter 6.
Thank You that through Jesus Christ, we have been freed from sin’s dominion.
Thank You that we have been raised to walk in newness of life.
And thank You for the gift of eternal life.
Forgive us when we take Your grace for granted.
Forgive us when we allow sinful habits and attitudes to influence our lives.
Help us recognize that we belong to Jesus Christ.
Strengthen our determination to resist temptation.
Teach us to present ourselves completely to You.
And help us live in a way that brings honor and glory to Your name.
For anyone who has never trusted Jesus Christ as Savior, I pray that today would be the day of salvation.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
8. Benediction
Romans 6:22–23 (KJV)
“But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.”
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
May the grace of God strengthen your hearts.
May the power of the risen Christ guide your steps.
And may the Holy Spirit help you live in obedience to God’s Word.
Go into the world remembering that you are dead to sin and alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

11. Pastoral Teaching Notes
Romans 6 marks an important transition in Paul’s letter.
In Romans 1–5, Paul primarily explains humanity’s need for justification and God’s provision of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
Beginning in Romans 6, he emphasizes the practical implications of salvation for Christian living.
Several themes deserve careful attention.
First, Romans 6:1–2 rejects the misuse of grace. Paul anticipates the argument that abundant grace might encourage continued sin. He rejects this conclusion because believers have died to sin through their union with Christ.
Second, Romans 6:3–7 explains union with Christ through the imagery of baptism. Baptism visibly portrays the believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. In Baptist theology, baptism is understood as an ordinance that testifies to salvation rather than a ceremony that produces salvation.
Third, Romans 6:6 describes the crucifixion of the old man. This refers to the decisive break with the believer’s former identity under sin’s dominion. It does not mean that Christians become incapable of sinning.
Fourth, Romans 6:8–14 calls believers to live according to their new spiritual identity. Christians must recognize that they are dead to sin and alive to God. They are commanded not to allow sin to reign in their mortal bodies.
Fifth, Romans 6:15–19 uses the imagery of slavery to explain spiritual allegiance. Believers have been freed from sin’s dominion and now belong to God. Christian obedience flows from a transformed heart.
Sixth, Romans 6:20–23 contrasts the consequences of sin with the gift of salvation. Sin produces shame and death. God’s grace provides holiness and eternal life through Jesus Christ.
Seventh, Romans 6 should be preached as a message of sanctification rather than merely moral improvement. Christian holiness is rooted in union with Jesus Christ. Believers pursue obedience because they have been saved, not in order to earn salvation.
A memorable sentence for the sermon:
Grace does not give us permission to remain in sin. Grace gives us the power to live a new life in Jesus Christ.
