Referenced Scripture:
Romans 5:20-21, Romans 6:1-7, 1 John 1:8, Romans 8:15-16
Reflection Questions:
1. Read Romans 6:1-7 Why is the idea of grace (our righteousness is received and not achieved) difficult for people to understand? How is grace different from how the world normally operates? Give some examples.
2. How does grace open up the possibility of people taking advantage of God’s kindness and grace?
3. What are some reasons that Paul gives to believers as to why it makes no sense to take advantage of grace by continuing sin?
4. What does it mean that we have “died to sin”? (v. 2) What does it NOT mean?
5. In v. 3-7 Paul explains our union with Christ. What does it mean that we are united with Christ? What are some of the implications of being united with Christ? How does this change the way we relate to sin?
6. Why can it be difficult to believe that we have been “set free from sin” in our personal experience? What is an area of your life that you need to be set from sin? Do you believe that you are set free? Why or why not?
7. Is there sin in your life that you have made peace with that you need to wage war? Explain. What is your next step to battle against sin in your life?
8. Read Romans 8:15-16 What is the role of the Holy Spirit in helping you understand our freedom and union with Christ? Do you experience the Holy Spirit that way? Why or why not?
What’s your next step?
