Discover Self Romans 6:1-2,6-7,11-13,17-20The believer is to live a holy life and become a servant of righteousness. A genuinely saved person cannot abuse the mercy of God. He cannot walk in sin; he cannot make a habit of sinning. To do so is to tread upon the mercy of God and make a mockery of God’s grace. It is to say that God’s grace gives a person the license to sin, and such is a contradiction of terms—as much a contradiction as to say that a dead man is alive.The true believer does not continue in sin; he does not live in sin. He conquers and triumphs over sin. In very clear terms this passage tells exactly what the believer must do to live in victory over sin.The believer becomes the servant of righteousness. There is no way he could ever serve sin again, not if he has really been justified, not if he has really come to know God’s love revealed in the Lord Jesus Christ. Once he truly knows God’s glorious love, he is driven to serve God in appreciation for what God has done for Him in Christ Jesus. He is driven to be the servant of God by living righteously and godly in this present world.It all starts with discovering yourself in Christ!
