Everything in Romans 6 shows that this is talking about people who have put their faith in Christ's death and resurrection. THIS IS THEIR FALSE GOSPEL! THEY CLAIM THAT YOUR OWN DEATH ATONES FOR SINS! LIES OF SATAN! Freedom From Sin Through Union With Christ The Nature Of The Death Mentioned In Romans 6 (1) Romans 6:3-4—"Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." (Romans 6:3-4 ESV) This death is a baptism "into Christ Jesus." It is not the natural end of physical life that every man experiences, but a specific spiritual union. The result of this death is "newness of life," which is a present spiritual reality for the believer, not a post-mortem state for the unbeliever. Bible: "baptized into Christ" Lie: "physical expiration" (2) Romans 6:5—"For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his." (Romans 6:5 ESV) This death is described as being "united with him." It is a shared experience with Christ. Those who claim physical death alone frees a man from sin's penalty ignore that this passage requires a union with the person of Jesus Christ. Bible: "united with him" Lie: "united with the grave" (3) Romans 6:6—"We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin." (Romans 6:6 ESV) The "death" here is defined as the "old self" being "crucified with him." The purpose is the cessation of slavery to sin in the present life. Physical death does not "crucify the old self" with Christ; faith in the gospel does. Bible: "crucified with him" Lie: "died in a hospital or bed" (4) Romans 6:7-8—"For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him." (Romans 6:7-8 ESV) While verse 7 states a general principle that death ends legal obligations, verse 8 immediately qualifies this for the Christian context: "if we have died with Christ." The freedom from sin described in this chapter is predicated entirely upon being "with Christ." Bible: "died with Christ" Lie: "died alone in sin" (5) Romans 6:11—"So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus." (Romans 6:11 ESV) We are commanded to "consider" or reckon ourselves dead to sin. A man who has died physically cannot "consider" himself anything; this is an act of the mind and heart of a living person who has placed their faith in Jesus. Bible: "consider yourselves dead to sin" Lie: "be corpses in the ground" The Purpose Of This Death Is Deliverance From Sin's Power (1) Romans 6:12-13—"Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness." (Romans 6:12-13 ESV) This death results in a choice of the will regarding "mortal bodies." If the death mentioned were physical death, there would be no "mortal body" left in which to resist sin. The passage is clearly speaking to living people who have died to sin's authority through Christ. Bible: "brought from death to life" Lie: "staying dead to pay a debt" (2) Romans 6:22-23—"But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:22-23 ESV) The "wages of sin" is death—the very thing the legalist claims pays the debt. But the Bible contrasts this "wages" (what we earn) with the "free gift" (what Christ gives). If physical death paid the debt of sin, eternal life would be a receipt for payment, not a "free gift." Bible: "free gift of God" Lie: "payment through physical death" Proposition: The death described in Romans 6 is not the physical death of the body which all men suffer, but the spiritual crucifixion of the old nature through union with Jesus Christ by faith. It is this union alone that sets a person free from the slavery and penalty of sin. -- Good News † Jesus is God: christrose.news/Jesus-God. No other message can save except the true gospel: Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9). Any contrary gospel is false and plunges people into conscious, eternal torment in the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:18; Revelation 14:10-11; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:11-15). Denying the deity of Jesus ensures you will die in your sins (John 8:58). Through the cross, Christ erased the spiritual debt we owed to God for our rebellion (Colossians 2:14), a reality established when God raised Him from the dead (Romans 1:4). God can now righteously pardon our sins (Romans 3:26) and exempt us from the coming divine judgment (1 Thessalonians 1:10). Salvation cannot be earned; it is a free gift for believers (Romans 6:23). Trust in Jesus and invoke His name to be saved (Romans 10:9-13): How to be saved: christrose.news/salvation
