Rom 6:1 | MHM | STEP | Dead to Sin, Alive to God In this section, Paul addresses a possible misunderstanding about God’s grace. Some people might think that, since God forgives all our sins, it doesn’t matter if we keep sinning. Paul argues strongly against this idea and explains that believers have a new life in Christ. Through faith and baptism, Christians are united with Jesus in his death and resurrection. This means that they should not continue living in sin, but should live for God. v. 1 : Paul asks, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” (Romans 6:1 ). He is responding to the idea that if God’s grace covers our sins, maybe we should keep on sinning so there will be even more grace. Paul shows this is completely wrong.
