LESSON 3 — Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

Scripture: Romans 6

Lesson Overview

Romans 6 answers a critical question: If grace is abundant, does sin still matter? Paul’s answer is clear—grace changes how we live.

In-Depth Teaching

1. Union with Christ

Believers are spiritually united with Christ in:

• His death

• His burial

• His resurrection

This union means sin no longer rules us.

2. Freedom from Sin’s Power

Paul does not say believers never sin—he says sin is no longer our master.

We now have the ability, through grace, to choose righteousness.

3. A New Way of Living

Romans 6 calls believers to:

• Consider themselves dead to sin

• Offer their lives to God

• Live under grace, not law

Grace empowers obedience; it does not excuse sin.

Application & Reflection

• Are there areas where you still live as though sin rules you?

• How does your identity in Christ affect daily decisions?
