Lesson 2814

(Lesson 2814)(09-07-19) Romans 6:1-7
    “ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.”

   Today’s lesson is another confirmation of the security of the believer. Today’s quote confirms that once a lost soul has been immersed into Jesus Christ by faith in Him, that soul has taken on the righteousness of Jesus Christ and therefore is made dead to sin. Being dead to sin, that soul can never again be condemned to die.
    Just as Paul said in the quote, once a person is saved by faith in Jesus Christ, that person takes on a totally new reality. He/she will no longer disobey the commandments that were given to us by Jesus Himself. Those commandments were as Jesus stated when He was asked; “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENST HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS”.
    The last part of that qoute means that if we obey the two “great” commandments, we have by default obeyed the entire law plus everything that was taught by the prophets.~
