In Romans 6, Paul describes following Christ by emphasizing the aspects of picture, position, practice, and promise. These perspectives offer a clear insight into what it truly means to be a servant of God in our everyday lives, providing practical guidance on how to consistently surrender ourselves to Him.

What do you think God sees when He looks at you? If you are a Christian, it is a glorious concept that Paul seeks to convey. Our understanding of identity plays a crucial role in influencing our actions and decisions. This is precisely why, in Romans 6:11, Paul gives the first command to the Romans, “count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.”

If Christ justifies us, why shouldn't we keep on sinning? This is the question Paul begins to tackle in Romans 6:1-4. Pastor Dan Rude highlights the importance of knowing who you are in Christ as the key to overcoming sin.
