___,
sin but ______

_______
We died to sin; how can we
live in it any longer? Or
don’t you 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. v. 2-4
As a Christ follower,
identified
I’m __________
with Him
If we have been united
with him like this in his
death, we will certainly
also be united with him
in his resurrection.
For we know that our old self
was crucified with him so that
the body of sin might be done
away with, that we should no
longer be slaves to sin –
because anyone who has died
has been freed from sin. v. 5-7

“On the first day of January, in
the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and
sixty-three, all persons held as
slaves within any State…shall
be then, thenceforward,
and forever free.”
President Abraham Lincoln
“After the reading we were told that we
were all free, and could go when and
where we pleased. My mother, who was
standing by my side, leaned over and
kissed her children, while tears of joy ran
down her cheeks. She explained to us
what it all meant, that this was the day
for which she had been so long praying,
but fearing that she would never live to
see.”

v. 8-11
Now if we died with
Christ, we believe that
we will also live with
him.
v. 8
In the same way, count
yourselves dead to sin
but alive to God in
Christ Jesus. v. 11
“The wild rejoicing on the part of
the emancipated coloured people
lasted but for a brief period…the
great questions with which the
Anglo-Saxon race had been
grappling for centuries had been
thrown upon these
people to be solved.
There were questions of a home, a living,
the rearing of children, education,
citizenship, and the establishment of
churches. Was it any wonder that within
a few hours the wild rejoicing ceased
and a feeling of deep gloom seemed to
pervade the slave quarters? To some it
seemed that, now that they were in
actual possession of it, freedom was a
more serious thing than they had
expected to find it…
Gradually, one by one, stealthily at
first, the older slaves began to
wander from the slave quarters
back to the ‘big house’ to have a
whispered conversation with their
former owners as to the future.”
Booker T. Washington

v. 12-14
Therefore, do not let sin
reign in your mortal body so

v. 12 -13a
…rather offer yourselves to
God, as those who have
been brought from death to
life…
v. 13b
For sin shall not be your
master, because you are
not under law, but under
grace. v. 14

I’m free to _______
choice

Don’t you know that when you
offer yourselves to someone to
obey him as slaves, you are
slaves to the one whom you
obey – whether you are slaves
to sin, which leads to death, or
to obedience, which leads to
righteousness. v. 16
But now that you have been set
free from sin and have become
slaves to God, the benefit you
reap leads to holiness and the
result is eternal life. For the
wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
v. 2223
