the Text with Your Life:
- Sounds like Paul is arguing with someone from the 21st Century. “Keep on doing whatever it is you want to do; God will still forgive you.” Have you ever seen this in someone’s life? In your own? Where does this mindset lead? How about in the Christian? How does it reflect upon Christ and the church?
- What part of your “old self” still hangs around? How does the knowledge of your death to sin affect your struggle with sin, or how can it?
Prayer
Focus: That we would consider ourselves dead to sin and
alive to God in Christ Jesus (see verse 11).
