True Grace – Rom 6:1-2
Vs 1 – Paul continues with his thought and he asks a question, “Shall we go on sinning that grace may increase?” Paul is dealing with the abuse of grace in this verse. This was obviously a problem proposed by the Gnostics who believed all flesh was evil but the Spirit was good. Also the greasy grace expounders in the audience.
Vs 2 – Paul says that we cannot continue to sin because we have died to it. It no longer has control over us. When something is dead it cannot live any longer. True life, is knowing that you must say no to the flesh and yes to the Spirit. When you submit to God the devil has to flee from you. The secret of true life is saying no to what you want and saying yes to what God wants. If you are in close communication with God you begin to know His will and plot the course of your life accordingly.
