You and Your Sin

Romans 6.15-23

A. Why not sin?

1. The argument of our baptism 6.1-14

We died to sin by union with Christ

2. The argument of our conversion 6.15-23

We are slaves, not of sin, but of righteousness

B. The argument of our conversion

1. A picture of conversion 6.17-18

2. An uncomfortable illustration 6.19

3. A description of the converted 6.20-22

4. An antithetical statement 6.23

Two masters

Two places to end up

Two ways of getting what's ours

C. Summary principles from Romans 6

1. Don't be discouraged by the continuing presence of sin

2. Don't forget who you are

3. Don't forget to argue with yourself

4. Don't give in to sin

5. Don't forget to devote yourself to God's service

6. Don't forget where each path in life leads
