Romans 6:1 - 6:14

In this discussion, the appropriate ramifications of salvation in life with regards to sinning is addressed. Baptism is important in the early church as it is a celebration that the believer has died with Christ and risen again, signifying the burial of one's old, sinful self and resurrection into a new life in Christ. The key point is that believers have died with Christ and are no longer obligated to live in the ways of the old man, but rather live in the ways of the new man, Christ. It is inappropriate for Christians to continue living in sin, even if grace abounds.
