Bible Study on Sin Part 1 | Study the Bible with Me
so we're gonna do an in-depth Bible study on sin and we'll be looking at
Romans chapter six the entire chapter and I'll just break it down first by
verse I have done this in the past but it was so helpful to me that I wanted to
do it again so Romans chapter six verse one what shall we say then shall we go
on sinning so that grace may increase all right so what does that say to me a
lot sometimes some people use the gift of grace as an excuse to kind of do what
they want and it shouldn't be like that grace is a gift that's given to us
really because Jesus died on the cross for us it's not an excuse for us to
continue to sin and to not try our absolute best to live lives the way that
God wants us to live so this first basically says that we shouldn't
continue to sin just because we're covered by God's grace it's two three
and four it says by no means where are those who have died to sin how can we
live it any longer or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into his death
we were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father we too
may live a new life so what I think this is saying is that just as Christ died
and he rose again our sin and our flesh dies and we are born again as new
creatures so we died and our old sinful cells have died just as Christ died and
just as Christ has raised from the dead so have we been for if we have been
United with him and a death like his we will certainly also be united with him
in a resurrection like his so again as Christ is raised from the dead so shall
we be and this is with verse 5 for we know that our old self was crucified
with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with verse 7 because
anyone who has died has been set free from sin so verse 6 is basically saying
that eventually our body will be done away with that's exactly what it says in
the NIV version eventually our bodies will be no more because
not our physical body that continues on to eternal life
it's our spirit and that was done when Christ was crucified it says our old
self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away
with that we should no longer be slaves to sin so I decided to write out verses
six and seven the second part of verse six and seven because it's a good
reminder sometimes I feel like I get so overwhelmed by things about me that I
try to work on and I try to change and while there's been a lot of things I
have been able to change through the grace of God there's still a lot of
things that I struggle with on an everyday basis sin that I am just so
desperately trying to get rid of and change and just get better and be better
and stop making the same stupid mistakes over and over but this first gives me a
lot of encouragement we are no longer slaves to sin anyone who has died has
been set free from sin and also eventually all of the bad things of the
world and sin and just the chaos and the sadness of the world one day it will all
be straightened and all all be it'll all be done away with it's easy to kind of
get overwhelmed by everything that's going on here in the world but then when
I'm feeling overwhelmed that's usually a huge indicator that I need to get into
my word verse 8 now if we died with Christ we believe that we will also live
with him verse 9 for we know that since Christ was raised from the dead he
cannot die again death no longer has mastery over him so for verse 11 in
particular we are dead to the power that sin has if you accept Christ into your
life then the sin has no power over you verses 12 and 13 say therefore do not
let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires do not
offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness but rather
offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life and
offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness so do not
let sin reign your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires either your
flesh or your spirit is stronger it just depends on which one you feed more if
you're feeding your flesh more if you're getting caught up in the
desires of this world then that's what's stronger if you're
feeding your spirit more your reading your word praying seeking God's face
then your spirit is stronger and so this is saying don't let sin reign on your
mortal body keep your spiritual self strong and then
it says by staying strong spiritually then it won't rain your body you won't
have control over your life don't offer any part of yourself to spend offer
every part of yourself to him as an instrument for righteousness don't let
any part of your body sin and the first thing that I immediately thought of that
I'm gonna highlight and I highlight first and then write over it otherwise
it's so don't let any part of your body sin and for me in particular I don't
know about you but even your mouth a lot of times I have to catch myself before I
say what I'm about to say and I think I'm not alone in this I think a lot of
people struggle with saying things that they probably shouldn't have said or
even thinking things that they probably shouldn't have said you can think things
with your mind that are sinful as well we have to be very mindful of every part
of our body when it comes to sin verse 14 more sin shall no longer be your
master because you are not under the law but under grace so because we are under
grace we can find forgiveness for our sin okay I think I'm gonna stop here for
today and do a part two tomorrow so I hope you enjoyed this video and I will
see you next time bye
