Moreover the law entered that the offense

might abound. But where sin abounded, grace

abounded much more (Romans, 5: 20)

How does grace abound MUCH MORE when

sin abounds?

Grace is enough to forgive every

sin.

Grace solves the terrible results

of sin.
Grace defeats death and gives
us eternal life through Jesus.

Grace cans transform us.

According to Romans, 6: 1-11, a Christian dies to sin through baptism

How is that possible?

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 (Romans, 6: 4)

If a believer dies to sin through baptism, could

he sin again?
Yes, he could, but he is able to choose whether he
wants to be ruled by sin or not.
The old man DESIRES to live for sin.
The new man DESIRES to live for God, although he
might sin sometimes.
We cannot overcome sin by ourselves. Only by
faith and thanks to Gods promises we can
overcome sin.
Lets remember that Gods grace always abounds,
even if we sin.

Therefore do not let sin reign in

your mortal body so that you obey
its evil desires (Romans, 6: 12)

For sin shall not be your master, because

you are not under law, but under grace
(Romans, 6: 14)

What does not to be under law, but

under grace involves?

To be under the law means to

use the law as a way to salvation.
The law shows the sin (chap. 3:
20); the law enlarges the
transgression because the sinful
way of man (chap. 5: 20). The law
cannot forgive sins nor give any
power to defeat them. If a sinner
tries to be saved under the law,
he will be tied stronger to his sin
(SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 6, on Romans, 6: 14)

For sin shall not be your master, because

you are not under law, but under grace
(Romans, 6: 14)

What does not to be under law, but

under grace involves?

To be under grace means to use grace as

a way to salvation.

A Christian admits that he has

transgressed the divine law and he
cannot carry out its requests by his own
strength. He admits that he deserves only
damnation, but he surrenders to Gods
grace and mercy through faith. Then, his
sinful past is forgiven through Gods grace
and he receives divine power to walk "in
a new life" (SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 6, on Romans, 6: 14)

If we are no more under the law, why must we keep it? (Romans, 6: 15)

To be under grace doesnt mean that a believer is free to disobey

Gods moral law with total impunity; to say that is to distort the
purpose of Gods plan. God, in his love, offered grace to the sinner
because he violated the divine law; man is free from sins control
only by Gods grace. Therefore, how could be right or reasonable
to stand deliberately under the old slavery? Disobeying Gods law
involves becoming slave to sin again, since disobeying the divine
law is sin (1 John 3: 4) and anyone who perseveres with sin is
slave to sin (John 8: 34). To keep sinning after accepting Gods
grace that forgives and transforms is to deny the purpose of
that grace. Anyone who refuses to be lead to obedience to Gods
law by His grace is rejecting that grace; he is rejecting Gods
freedom and salvation (SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 6, on Romans, 6: 15)

Are you a slave to sin or to obedience? (Romans, 6: 16)

Slaves to sin

Slaves to obedience

Death

Righteousness

How can we become slaves to obedience

*slaves to righteousness (Romans, 6: 18)+?

But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you
wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were
entrusted (Romans, 6: 17)
The right doctrine or teaching helps us to become slaves to righteousness

What do we obtain when we are freed from sin?

(Romans, 6: 19-23)

1. We are made slaves to

God.

2. We have our fruit to

holiness.
3. We have eternal life in
Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Do you want to be slave to sin or slave to righteousness?

Lets follow Pauls advice:

So now offer the parts of

your body in slavery to
righteousness leading to
holiness (Romans, 6: 19)
