These are some meditations from Romans 6 answering the question:
If our sins are forgiven, what is then our new relationship with sin?
Salvation has affected our relationship with sin in many ways, the one that Romans 6 mostly focuses on is its lost of power in our lives.
- Because of this idea of free costly grace talked in Romans 5, Paul clarifies emphatically that this does mean a license to sin. This grace does not mean lawlessness.
- We have been united with the death and resurrection of Christ; those who have died have been freed as well from sin.
- Since we have died with Christ, we have the benefits of this new life through Christ.
What a glorious thing, the gospel saves us from the penalty of sin, and helps us come out from being under the power of sin.
