1 John 2:5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 

 1John 2:5 says But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected or completed in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The word but in verse 5 shows that John is contrasting true believers in verse 5 with the false in verse 4, those who say, versus those who do the will of God.  This means if we are habitually practicing righteousness, then our love for God has been worked out in our lives through our obedience. This means we can know for sure that we are saved because we are living out the life of Christ because He is our Lord and Savior. 

Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? He can Save you if You ask Him based on His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins. Believe in Him for forgiveness of your sins today. 

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  -John 8:32

1 John 2:4 tells us He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Jesus told the Pharisees who never trusted Christ as Savior, in John 8:44 that "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.  Jesus said if you really know Him as Savior, you will not only talk the talk, but also walk the walk.

Romans 6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.  7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

V6 crucified with Him, 

Galatians 5:24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Eph 4:22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

Col 3:9-10 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

that the body of sin might be done away with…the body is the instrument used for carrying out sin What is it that has those desires?  When you fulfill a desire it is the body that gets the pleasure.

John MacArthur says that Paul uses the terms body and flesh to refer to sinful tendencies that are tangled up with physical weakness and pleasures. We have one new nature that is incarcerated in unredeemed flesh.  

Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

V7 no longer slaves of sin, but freed from sin 

John 8:36 "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

There are times when knowing a few facts can have great impact on our decisions and our actions. Most of us have “gone off half-cocked,” only to discover later that we acted without some very important information. In our text, Paul is pointing out to his Roman readers some very important facts they must know, which will serve as the basis for their lifestyle. 

 Dead to sin, they are now free to live as instruments of righteousness for God (8-14).

1Thess 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

 Phil 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: {perform: or, finish}

In verses 8-14 we will see 2 keys to victory

Paul says that we need to know some things about our life in Christ to become like Christ

6:3 Do you not know

6:6 Knowing this

6:8 We believe

6:9 Knowing that

B. DEAD TO SIN, ALIVE TO GOD (8-14)

·         Know

·         We need to become in practice, what we are already positionally

v8 Having died with Christ, we may live with Him 

Rev 1:18  "I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.

1Corinth 15:17-26

v9 Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion 

Hebrews 10:10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Col 3:1 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

v10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

He died, to the penalty of sin forever breaking its dominion

                              Romans 6:3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?  4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,

 V3 Do you not know……..Mark 2:25 But He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him: 

In baptism we were baptized into Christ's death 

Baptized into Christ

  1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body——whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free——and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

1 Corinthians 1:30  But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God——and righteousness and sanctification and redemption

Romans 8:10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

2Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? ——unless indeed you are disqualified.

Water baptism is a symbol of the reality of salvation, not the means of it

1Co 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

1Corinth 6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

Gal 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Eph 4:4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5  one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6  one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

We have died to the power of sin

In 1 John 2:4, John was speaking to believers about the Gnostics who said they had a relationship with Jesus, but they really did not.  This seems to be the way of society today, because many live ungodly lives and yet they think they are going to heaven, or they live like the Pharisees, who look good to people because they pretend to be holy, but are really hypocrites who have never asked God to forgive them on the basis of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.  Where do you fit, is this you, or have you truly been forgiven because you cried out to Jesus to save you because you are a sinner?

Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

1 John 2:3 says Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.  This is what Jesus meant when He said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.  He also said in John 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  This means that if we are truly saved we will be holy, as He is holy.  We will be doing our best through the power of the Holy Spirit to live our life to model that of Jesus Christ’s.  That doesn’t mean we are perfect, but if this is not what you desire and are trying to do, you cannot truly be saved.

1John 2:2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

1 John 2:2 says He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.  This means Jesus Christ died on the cross so that anyone who believes He died in their place, took their hell, and paid the penalty for their sins can go to heaven.  The word propitiation means satisfaction and Jesus satisfied the legal demands that someone had to be punished and die for our sins.  That is why when Jesus died, He said it is finished, it means He paid our sin debt in full and anyone who will call on Him for forgiveness in repentance and faith will be saved.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

In the first 5 chapters Paul has only spoken of salvation and our security, but has said little or nothing about Christian life, growth, or discipleship.  So far he has exposed himself to the critics who misquote him (Rom 3:8) And why not say, "Let us do evil that good may come"? ——as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.  But now he is going to disprove their slander.

So what do we have to say about once saved always saved or as I like to call it the Eternal Security of the Believer.

Some were saying that the idea of “free grace” ( it cost God everything) actually encouraged sin as it promised sinners the best of both worlds since it supposedly allowed a man to indulge himself freely in sin in this world without forfeiting heaven

 In  Chapters 6-8 Paul moves from the doctrine of Justification (God declaring a man righteous based on Belief) to Sanctification (God producing actual righteousness in the believer).

1.    Justification is an act; Sanctification is a process

2.    Justification is for us; Sanctification is in us

3.    Justification is a transaction; Sanctification is a transformation

4.    Justification is the means; Sanctification is the end

5.    Justification declares the sinner righteous; Sanctification makes the sinner righteous

6.    Justification removes the guilt and penalty of sin; Sanctification removes the growth and power of sin

7.    Justification is the straight gate through which we enter the narrow way of Holiness; Sanctification is the way of holiness

1Corinth 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10  nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. 12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

1Tim 1:12-13 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, 13 although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

In chapter five, Paul made the statement "where sin abounded, grace abounded much more" (5:20).   Aware that some readers might misconstrue what he said, Paul quickly points out that grace is no excuse to sin since through grace they have died to sin (1-2).  To emphasize this, he reminds them of their baptism into Christ, in which they experienced a burial into the death of Christ and rose to walk in newness of life, having died to sin (3-7).  

God delivered the Jews out of Egypt which is a picture of sin. 

Jude 1:5  But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

Moses was a type of Jesus who was to lead them out of sin and into the promised land which is a type of heaven. 

1Corinthians 10:2  all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

Heb 3:11 So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’"

1Corinthians 10:5  But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. 6 Now these things became our ex

1 John 2:1 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

 The last part of 1John 2:1 says And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. If we are Christians we don’t look at salvation as a license to sin, but if we are truly saved, as we continue to follow Christ we will sin less and less as the pattern of our life.  But He also tells us that when we do sin that Jesus is our Advocate, our ally, our intercessor who defends us before an accusing devil and a Holy God that He paid for that sin on the cross and it can never be held against us ever again.

Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? He can Save you if You ask Him based on His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins. Believe in Him for forgiveness of your sins today.

Romans 5:15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.  16 And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. 17 For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 V15-21 Contrasts Adam's condemning acts and the redeeming act or gift of Christ

In this section Paul uses the word much more 3 times to describe Christ's works.

V15 Christ's one act of redemption was so much greater than Adams one act of Condemnation ---much more

It has been said that the fact that one single misdeed should be answered by judgement, this is perfectly understandable: That the accumulated sins and guilt of all the ages should be answered by God's free gift, this is the miracle of miracles, totally beyond human understanding.

V16 one offense by Adam resulted in the condemnation 

Christ's free gift resulted in justification-- to be declared righteous

V17 one offense death reigned-- Adam 

Adam thought he would be like God knowing good and evil like the devil said, but exactly the opposite happened. That one act separated him from God.

Ge 2:17 "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."

Christ --much more those who receive abundance or the super abundance will reign in life

V18 one offense came judgement 

Christ-- one's righteous act came the free gift

V19 disobedience --made sinners

Christ's -Obedience made righteous

V20 Sin-- abounded because of the Law  the law was a tutor

Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

Grace super abounded

V21 death or condemnation--through sin

Grace or Eternal life through righteousness of Jesus Christ

Decision of death or life

1st Adam

Last Adam--Christ  

1Corinthians 15:53-58 

Rev 1:5-6

Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? He can Save you if You ask Him based on His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins. Believe in Him for forgiveness of your sins today.
