## Resource

Grace does not excuse sin. It breaks its power. Romans 6 explores the transformation that takes place when someone is united with Christ. Through His death and resurrection, believers move from condemnation to justification, from estrangement to reconciliation, and into the lifelong work of sanctification that will one day culminate in glorification. Paul confronts the misunderstanding that grace might permit continued sin and answers with clarity: those who belong to Christ have died to sin and been raised into new life. Baptism points to this deeper spiritual reality. The old self has been crucified, sin’s authority has been broken, and believers are now called to live as people who are alive to God. Freedom in Christ is not the freedom to return to the old life but the freedom to serve a new Master. Sin leads to shame and death, but the life shaped by righteousness bears the fruit of holiness. The contrast is summed up in Paul’s final declaration: the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Grace not only forgives the past. It forms a new people who walk in the life Christ has given.
