I Am who my Baptism tells me I Am

“when sin grew worse, God’s grace increased all the more”. 

Romans 5:20

Does that mean that I can just do whatever I want because because God just keeps on forgiving

Romans 6:1

“Of course not!” 

Romans 6:2

“All who were baptized into Christ were baptized into His death. We were buried with him”.

Romans 6:3,4

“so that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we too can live a new life"

“Anyone who has died has been freed from sin.  Now if we died, we believe we also live with him

Romans 6:4,8

THEREFORE . . . . .

“consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.  Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.  Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin.

 Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.  

Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.

Romans 6:11-14
