What are you counting on to Overcome sin?

Memorize:

Rom 6:7  For he who died has been justified from sin.

Rom 6:8  But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

Rom 6:9  knowing that when Christ was raised from the dead, He dies no more; death no longer has dominion over Him.

Rom 6:10  For in that He died, He died to sin once; but in that He lives, He lives to God.

Questions:

1. Is verse seven just talking about our physical death as the remedy for the sin nature?
2. What does it mean “we died with Christ and we shall live with Him”?
3. Christ Rose never to die anymore. What is Christ’s position in relation to death now?

Introduction.

We have looked at the Old man or the old sinful nature inherited from our forbears. Our old man or our old self: This is our old selves which we inherited from Adam through our parents. What a contrast to the New Man which is what we are in Christ right now.

Our old self was nailed to the Cross with Him - CRUCIFIED.

Rom 6:6  This we know--that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power,

We do not teach annihilation of the old nature but the annulling of its power to dominate our lives. Do we just have to keep on sinning because we are still in this body of flesh. NO BY ALL MEANS NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!. Christ not only dealt with our past sins but also the sin nature has been deprived of its power. Amen.

Things we need to know and understand.

Rom 6:7  For he who died has been justified from sin.MKJV

Rom 6:7  The person who has died has been freed from sin. GW.

Notes

This is not just talking about future death. It is but it is referring to we who believe and know we have died with Christ to the power of the sin nature’s domination.

We have been freed from sin in our death with Christ on the Cross.

Do you know that you have the Victory now? Do you live in the freedom which Christ accomplished on the Cross of Calvary ?

Rom 6:8  But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

Rom 6:8  But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him; WNT.

Notes by Barnes

Now if we be dead with Christ - If we be dead in a manner similar to what he was; if we are made dead to sin by his work, as he was dead in the grave; see the note at Rom_6:4.

We believe - All Christians. It is an article of our faith. This does not refer to the future world so much as to the present. It becomes an article of our belief that we are to live with Christ.

That we shall also live with him - This does not refer primarily to the resurrection, and to the future state, but to the present. “We hold it as an article of our faith, that we shall be alive with Christ.” As he was raised up from death, so we shall be raised from the death of sin. As he lives, so we shall live in holiness. We are in fact raised up here, and, as it were, made alive to him. This is not confined, however, to the present life, but as Christ lives forever, so the apostle goes on to show that we shall.

Rom 6:9  knowing that when Christ was raised from the dead, He dies no more; death no longer has dominion over Him.

Barne’s Notes:

Knowing - As we all know. This is assumed as an undoubted article of belief.

Dieth no more - Will never die again. He will have occasion to make no other atonement for sin; for what he has made is sufficient for all. He is beyond the dominion of death, and will live forever, Rev_1:18, “I am he that liveth and was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore.” This is not only a consolation to the Christian, but it is an argument why he should be holy.

No more dominion - No rule; no lordship; no power. He is free from its influence; and the king of terrors cannot reach his throne; compare Heb_9:25-28; Heb_10:12.

Rom 6:10  For in that He died, He died to sin once; but in that He lives, He lives to God.

Notes by Barnes

He died unto sin - His death had respect to sin. The design of his death was to destroy sin; to make an atonement for it, and thus to put it away. As his death was designed to effect this, so it follows that Christians being baptized into his death, and having it as their object to destroy sin, should not indulge in it. The whole force of the motive; therefore, drawn from the death of Christ, is to induce Christians to forsake sin;

compare 2Co_5:15, “And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth, live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them and rose again.”

Once - ἐφάπαξ  ephapax. Once only; once for all. This is an adverb denying a repetition (Schleusner), and implies that it will not be done again; compare Heb_7:27; Heb_9:12; Heb_10:10. The argument of the apostle rests much on this, that his death was once for all; that it would not be repeated.

Rom 6:6  This we know--that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;

Questions:

1. What does it mean that “Our Old Man”; “Our old self”; was nailed to the Cross with Him?
2. What is this in our everyday life: Our sinful nature has been deprived of its power or our body of sin might be annulled?
3. How are we no longer slaves in the service of sin?

Rom 6:6  This we know--that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him

Our old man or our old self: This is our old selves which we inherited from Adam through our parents. What a contrast to the New Man which is what we are in Christ right now. See:

Col 3:9  Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self (man) with its doings,

Col 3:10  and have clothed yourselves with the new self which is being remoulded into full knowledge so as to become like Him who created it. WNT

Cain, the son of Adam, is the picture of the old man. Watchman Nee illustrates this by saying, “Why do I have a round face and short black straight hair? It is because my father has a round face and short black straight hair and His name is Nee too. My grandfather was the same with the name Nee as well. I am just like them. So we are sons of Adam and morally we are after the flesh.”

Watchman Nee

Cain was like his father, Adam; his spirit was dead to God, both soul and body. He was controlled by the sin through his body. So here is mankind controlled by lust and passion, mankind made in the image and likeness of God, now controlled by sin.

The Old Man represents all we are naturally: evil desires, lusts, ambitions, hopes and judgments. This is what we used to be in Adam. But we have “put away as concerning the former manner of living the Old Man.”

Note here

1. Our old man was crucified with Christ Romans 6:6 above.
2. Those in Christ have put off the old man. Col 3:9 above.
3. He still exists, “ because the old waxed corrupt after the lusts of deceit”. Eph 4:22
4. He is to be put away as belonging to our former manner of life. 2 Cor 5:17  So that if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old state of things has passed away; a new state of things has come into existence.

Our old self was nailed to the Cross with Him - CRUCIFIED.

The old self or sinful flesh is all we inherited from Adam federally. This old nature has been crucified with Christ on the Cross by God.

Those in Christ have seen that federally their sinful nature has been nailed to the cross. Yet of the flesh we read. They willing put themselves under a new head, even Jesus.

Gal 5:24  Against such things as these there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their lower nature (their flesh) with its passions and appetites (lusts).

Gal 5:25  If we are living by the Spirit's power, let our conduct also be governed by the Spirit's power.

So our flesh has passions and lusts. This mind of the flesh is directly antagonistic and against God. Sin is the manifestation of the flesh or the sinful nature

Rom 6:6  This we know--that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power,

At the cross the past sins have all been pardoned, But the power of sin over our lives has also been broken. our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power,

We can live in constant victory over sin in our lives as we believe that what Christ did. It is a matter of seeing our sinful selves nailed to the Cross.

That the sinful nature might be deprived of its power.

Deprived of its power or annulled: Greek katargeo  put out of business.

The body of sin = the sinful nature.  

We still live in our unredeemed bodies but all the rights of sin to controlled us have been stripped. Sin has no rights over us. Live in the knowledge that the sinful nature need no longer dominate you. It was nailed to the Cross with Christ.

The Word “sin” can mean two things: sinful cats we do or have done; and also that sinful nature we inherited from Adam and lives in our fleshly bodies.

We are not just going to get victory over sin when our hearts stop and we die. NO!!! WE HAVE DIED WITH CHRIST NOW.  We have been freed from the domination of the old nature because Christ has deprived it of its power. HalleluYAH  !!!

Memorize: Rom 6:5  For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.

Questions:  1.What does it mean to become one with Him in His death?

2. How do we share in His Resurrection?

Think about these questions for they are vital to your understanding of this verse.

Introduction.

In verse 3 We looked at our baptism as a Public confession of our death, burial and resurrection with Christ. Christ was made sin for us so really we died unto sin in Christ. Sin no longer has the power over the believer in Christ. Baptism is the outward SYMBOL of an inner spiritual experience with Christ. Now we are his true disciples joined to Him in death and shown in picture in our Baptism. If we have not died with Christ by faith, all the water of baptism will never make this happen in reality.

This is not talking about covenantal washings by sprinkling. Baptism is the Symbol of Death Burial and resurrection to a BRAND NEW WAY OF LIVING.

Rom 6:5  For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.

Christ died for us, we died with Him.

For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death

BECOME ONE G4854 σύμφυτος sumphutos Thayer Definition:

1) born together with, of joint origin

1a) connate, congenital, innate, implanted by birth or nature

2) grown together, united with

According to W. Newell the word means to grow together, as a graft in a tree , so the graft shares the tree’s life. So the V.5 means “If I became actually united with Him, which in baptism we profess the Likeness of His death,” so we also shall also be united in the likeness of His resurrection.

Conybeare “If we have shared the reality of His death, whereof we have undergone the likeness in our baptism…...

we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.

Now Paul is speaking of the “newness of Life”: because we are joined, become one, united with Him in life with the Risen Glorified Lord.  Hourly daily we walk in a wonderful brand new Life where we are saved by “His Life”. Paul said, “For, to me to live is Christ”. “Our outward man is being renewed day by day”; I was crucified with Christ, Nevertheless… Christ lives in me.”

We may look also on that day when we shall be changed and the mortal shall put on immortality. These bodies shall experience Resurrection Life.

Christ has borne our sins in His own Body on the Tree. Then we bear them no more.

Notes from Esword and Romans Verse by Verse by William R. Newell.

Memorize:

Rom 6:3  And do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

Rom 6:4  Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life. (a brand new life).

We died with Christ: our baptism being the witness and now we are to reckon or count Ourselves as Dead to Sin and Alive to God in Christ Jesus. Vv 1-11

Verse 3 Our Baptism witnesses that we were baptized into His death.

That initial step in Confession of Christ set forth in Baptism their identification with Christ as crucified dead and buried and raised to new life.

Each believer sees the picture in Baptism by Immersion of our death with Him and Burial and Resurrection with Him. In Verse 2 it said, “Such Onyou who are es as we are…” All true believers, who died.

Symbolically Baptism is a picture of our federal death burial and resurrection as the reason for our deliverance from the Punishment and power of sin in our lives.

Have you willing stepped out in the face of all the opposition and criticism and definitely and forever declared your Faith in the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ as your only CONFESSION.

The fact of your baptism declares that you who are Christ’s have died with Him. Baptism signifies not cleansing but DEATH.

1Pe 3:20  who in ancient times had been disobedient, while God's longsuffering was patiently waiting in the days of Noah during the building of the Ark, in which a few persons--eight in number--were brought safely through the water.

1Pe 3:21  And, corresponding to that figure, the water of baptism now saves you--not the washing off of material defilement, but the craving of a good conscience after God--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

1Pe 3:22  who is at God's right hand, having gone into Heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

Eight souls were saved in Noahs Day in the Ark - a TYPE of CHRIST. For those eight were, in the Ark, brought safely through the waters of judgment which drowned the world; as were are brought, through by Christ, safely through the judgment of sin at the Cross: now we have a good conscience towards God. This is what Baptism sets forth.

Scripture here connects Baptism with death, not cleansing, with burial not with exaltation; with an ending of our former connection that we may enter a new one with christ. It is the Blood of Christ which cleanses from all sin.

Note

• Paul had been Baptised which WAS COMMON FOR ALL CHRISTIANS IN THE EARLY CHURCH.
• That it was unto Christ that believers were baptized. (eis) Grk. This is not the Holy Spirit Baptism of 1 Cor 12:13
• Baptism is an outward confession of an inner experience. That our old man was crucified with Christ is one thing and our Baptism is another. If we had not died with Christ then baptism would have no meaning.

Rom 6:4  Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life. (a brand new life).

The Entombment of Christ by Carl Bloch

All believers proclaim by their very Baptism as having  been identified with Christ’s death that they were buried; that their past has ended.

“Burial is the act that consummates the breaking of the last tie between man and his earthly life. By Baptism the believer publically consummates the breaking of the old life with this present evil world, and with his own natural life. Now we are no longer contralled by the World, the flesh and the Devil. They have no power over us any longer. Hallelujah

Women in the Bible.

• just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power:From this we learn, that as it required the glory of the Father, that is, his glorious energy, to raise up from the grave the dead body of Christ, so it requires the same glorious energy to quicken the dead soul of a sinner, and enable him to walk in newness of life. A. Clark

Because Christ is raised from the dead were are to walk about in newness of life : a brand new kind of life. This is the amazing new resurrection life which Jesus gives to us. We are one with the Risen Glorified LORD. We have been joined to Him. Our new bodies will shortly be conformed to His Glorious Body. 1 Cor 6:17

Notes from Newell Page 200

We now come to the Second Part of Christ’s Death and His work for us. - Our Identification with Him in His Death. Now we come the question of walking a holy life in the Grace of God. Q.1. Shall we keep on sinning that Grace MAY KEEP ABOUNDING TOWARDS US ?  Q.2. Because now that we are no longer under the principle of law by under Grace shall we use our liberty to keep sinning? Or shall we use our freedom from the law-principle to our own selfish ends?

Notes these five parts of Salvation. W. Newell

1. Christ’s Propitiatory work ( hilastērion) Thayer Definition: 1) relating to an appeasing or expiating, having placating or expiating force, expiatory; a means of appeasing or expiating, a propitiation) This work was towards God, appeasing His wrath and expiating our sin, through His precious blood: He bore our guilt and the condemnation of our sin.
2. Christ’s identification with us as connected to Adam “becoming sin for us,” and releasing us from Adam, our federal head, : Our old man (Adamic sinful nature) has been crucified with Christ.
3. The Holy Spirit’s work in us as the “Spirit of Grace”, involves His conviction of sin, Regeneration, His Baptizing us into the Body of Christ, (His Baptizing is in the Holy Spirit with power Acts 1:8)His being in us as the “Law of Life” against indwelling sin, the witness of our Sonship, our helper, INtercessor, and finally the Mighty Aganet of our Rapture from this world.
4. Christ's present work in Heaven: Leading our worship and praise as our Great High Priest in Glory: and protecting us should we sin as our Advocate with the Father, against our Accuser.
5. Christ’s Second Coming to redeeem our bodies, and receive us to Himself in Glory: The Rapture of the redeemed.

Q.1. Are we to remain in sin that Grace may keep on overflowing to us?

The message of simple grace is too simplistic for many even some untaught believers. This message seems inconsistent and impossible sure there are some laws that we must keep in order to be accepted with God. “If sin abounds then grace overflows” then they say, “then the more sin, the more grace”. God is loving and merciful and He will forgive us. So called Christians think they can continue in sin and still be accepted. GOD FORBID!!!!!!

Romans 6:2  No, indeed; how shall we who have died to sin, live in it any longer?

1. how shall we: We who are “in a special class of people”; all Christians, “such ones as we…”
2. He characterizes all Christians as “those who died to sin.” “Died” is an aorist tense something in the past that happen and was completed. It is a past act and fact.Newell. My question to you is this: Have you died as a Fact something that has taken place.Yes you have if you are a true believer. All Christians shared in Christ’s death, they Died to sin in Christ.
3. Paul here affirms that it was in regard to their relationship to sin that believers died. They died not for us - but to sin. Only Christ died for sin as our substitute.
4. Paul's Question: “How shall those whose relationship to sin has been broken by their dying, be still, as before, be living in sin? It is an impossibility!!!! How can those who died to sin continue to live in it?  Eg. Those who died in New York how can they keep walking the streets of New York city?

Not all Christians have yet discovered or walk in the path of Victory over sin. But  whosoever is born of god does not practice sin, because God's seed abides in him, and he is not able to practice sin because he is begotten or born of God. 1 John 3:9 compare 2 Cor. 5:17
