Romans 6:1-7:6

Bible Gateway : ROM 6:1-14

(1-5) Our future lives are certain, that we should be living in "newness of life"
(6-7) We're freed from slavery to sin
(8-10) Our new master (in the future when He comes again): God
(11) Conclusion: to consider ourselves dead to sin (not under sin), but alive to God in Christ (in the other domain as introduced in Rom 5:12-21) , since it's a certainty
(12-14) How to live our lives as if under our new Master already

Summary: Sin, no longer having any hold over us, has no dominion over us anymore. Instead, in the light of our certain future of being in the other domain fully, we're to live the rest of our lives as if God is fully our Master, all these which is enabled solely by Christ's work on the cross.

==============================

Now....on to 6:15-7:6!
