Mark gives us a lot to think about in this lesson from
Romans 6:11-13
Mark introduces us to a Novel by:
C. E. Lewis, The Chronicles of NARNIA, The Silver Chair.
In this mystical novel Lewis is asking a question through stories;
Primarily What is Real? Mark addresses this through a detailed
look at Romans 6: 11-13
1. Rom. 6:11 , So you must consider yourself dead to sin
and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Paul, in verse 9, says we
know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will
never die again. He died to sin but the life he lives he
lives to God. Some of the sins we struggle with are
greed, envy, honesty and pleasures.
a. Align yourself with reality
b. Believe what God Says
c. Count yourself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ
d. Do this every moment Dead to Sin --- Alive to God in
Christ.
2. Rom. 6:12 , Let choice not sin, therefore reign in your
mortal body to make you obey its passions.
3. Rom. 6:13 , Do not present your members to sin as
instruments or unrighteousness, but present yourselves
to God as those who have been brought from death to
life and your members to God as instruments or
righteousness.
Points for home:
1. Your thinking Determines your Living.
a. Consider yourself dead to sin and alive to God
b. When temptation comes pause and say, I am dead to
this. This is not who I am anymore in Christ
2. You are always going to serve someone.
a. The question isn’t “will I serve ?” but “ Whom will I
serve?”
3. Grace will empower what it demands.
a. The same God that justifies you also sanctifies you
b. You are not under law but under Grace
