Romans 6:1-23
By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Why?
Our salvation came from Jesus Christ, so when we were baptised and raised from water as Jesus was raised from the dead and we have been set free from sins and have become slaves to righteousness.
I do not have the capability to escape from the sins, but under the grace of Jesus Christ, I can do the right things, and I need the Holy Spirit to help me keep away from the sins.
The most difficult of our sins is our desire and greedy mind. We like to live a better life, and the Lord shows mercy to us to live better every day, but it does not mean our life is better in material life. In contrast, when we have more closer relationship with the Lord, we may have a better Spiritual life, and even under suffering, we may live out the joy, peace, and satisfaction under any situation.
How?
May my life and my mind be under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and live a joyful life and have a good relationship with surrounding people.
