Slaves to a New Master (Romans 6:15-19)
Obedience is not required in order to be saved, but the law teaches us how to live as those who are saved. Formerly we were slaves to sin, and now we have been made slaves to righteousness. We have a new master -- and our responsibility involves putting off sin, resisting the temptation to return to our former master; and gladly serving our new master. The freedom that we have in Christ is not freedom from having a master, but it is freedom from sin's mastery over us. Christ is now our Lord and master, and it is good to belong to him.

Freedom from Human Righteousness
Here we have the secret for continuing to be victorious in our walk with Christ. We are to continue as we began--in faith. We are to be rooted in Christ, built up in Christ, strengthened in faith, and overflowing with gratitude.

Living in Freedom (Romans 6:12-14)
Because Jesus has become propitiation for our sins, satisfying God's wrath and giving us his perfect righteousness, we are set free from the power and rule of sin. Therefore, since sin has no power over us, we have the ability to resist it, and as God's redeemed people we have the responsibility to resist it. Not only that, but we are to present ourselves to God, giving ourselves to the pursuit of him and to obedience to his will. We have been taken out of the dominion of sin and are now under the dominion of grace.

Dead to Sin, Alive to God (Romans 6:5-11)
In this passage, Paul continues to answer the question raised in Romans 6:1 - "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?" Paul continues to provide reasons for why this should never be. In this passage, we discover the benefit in being united to Christ - both in His death and resurrection. Because we have been united to Christ in His death (which was a substitute for the punishment our sin required), sin's dominion over us, its former slaves, has been broken. In Christ, the dominion of death is also crushed. For all who place saving faith in Christ, the sting of death has been removed. Instead, we look forward to a day when we will be given glorified bodies in our resurrection from the dead. In that day, it will no longer be possible for us to sin. Yet, for this life, we are called to live as best we can like we will on that day - to live for Christ, in obedience to the commands of God. There is a life yet to come for the Christian, but may we not lose sight of the grace that is ours today to live for God as those in Christ!

Meat Sacrificed to Idols
None of us are literally dealing with this moral dilemma. We do not encounter the temptation to purchase discounted cuts of meat at the grocery store offered to idols of wood or stone.

The Great Day of Justice
One day, God's justice will be poured out fully and finally. One that day, all will stand before the judgement seat of Christ, even those covered by His righteousness.
