For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 Romans 6:15-23

Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!

I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We have a new master now: we serve God. And the wages paid by these two 'bosses' do not bear comparison.

Why?

Human limitation: all men are weak, so all who slaves to impurity leading to death, but offer ourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.

For we have the grace of the Lord, we should obey the word of God to be a slave of righteousness. We can't do the wickedness for we have the grace of the Lord.

Our master is changed from evil to the Lord, we are free from the sins, we are free from death, so keep this grace need to keep away from sins, for man is weak in the flesh.

我們不能在罪中使恩典顯多。我們是復活的生命,不能再回到罪,不能因為罪增加恩典。在恩典下又成為罪的僕人,即回到老路,結局就是死!

我們做自己的主人,似乎很好,這又回到12節順從身子的私慾,像亞當一樣。我們只能做義的奴僕。奴僕似乎不好,我們成為神的肢體。我們得救不是只為了得永生,更是可以榮耀神。

How?

Always remember the word of the Lord and be humble for all of us are weak and need the Holy Spirit to help us walk on the right way.
