  2. Identity DAN

  3. Reality

  4. Romans 6:1-14 Principle:“When sin increases, grace increases far more.” Distortion:“So why not sin to bring more grace?” Response:“That makes no sense! We have a new nature and a new identity in Christ.”

  5. A New I.D. – Romans 6 Chapter 5 can leave us with the sense that, since grace overwhelms sin, why not sin?

  6. A New I.D. – Romans 6 Paul now tells us how to react to sin and grow.

  7. A New I.D. – Romans 6 Theme: The experience of life and death.

  8. A New I.D. – Romans 6:1 Because of grace, does it really matter if we sin?

  9. A New I.D. – Romans 6:1 Paul’s answer is how he started the book: The Just by faith shall live.

  10. A New I.D. – Romans 6:1 First part of Romans emphasized that a person is declared just by faith.

  11. A New I.D. – Romans 6:1 Now Paul emphasizes that the just by faith shall experience life!

  12. A New I.D. – Romans 6:1 We know how to possess life, now how do we experience life?

  13. A New I.D. – Romans 6:2 Paul’s point is not, “We can’t do something like that!”, but “How can we do something like that?”

  14. A New I.D. – Romans 6:2 As fans of the Princess Bride know well, it’s not impossible, but it is inconceivable.

  15. A New I.D. – Romans 6:2 It would be like someone saying in WWII, “How can a loyal American support the Nazis?”

  16. A New I.D. – Romans 6:2 It is inconceivable, though some did it.

  17. A New I.D. – Romans 6:2 The goal of any theology should be the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

  18. A New I.D. – Romans 6:2 The question for any theology should be, “How do we get there?”

  19. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3 Paul’s answer is that it starts with a new identity in Christ.

  20. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3 God literally gives us a new nature!

  21. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3 A changed life is not automatic or inevitable, as some teach.

  22. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3 The Corinthians and change. 1:2; 3:1-3; 5; 6:8-11 and so on…

  23. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3 Our new self is still imprisoned in a “dead” body.

  24. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3 But, our new self is the basis of change.

  25. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3 This baptism is water baptism. Nowhere is water mentioned in the context Nowhere is water baptism connected to regeneration (born again), to eternal life or to justification

  26. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3 This baptism is water baptism. Further, water baptism is never made a requirement in the Gospel of John Therefore, it is impossible for it to be necessary for eternal life

  27. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3 However, water baptism is an important practice for believers. Acts 8:38-39 (Phillip) ; 10:47 (Peter)

  28. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3 Paul was glad he didn’t baptize too many! 1 Cor. 1:14-17 He didn’t want them making him too important Baptism is not part of the gospel However, he did baptize believers In Spirit baptism, the HS is the one who does the baptizing

  29. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3 The one crucial baptism in the NT is Spirit baptism, which is the focus here. Comp. Rom. 6:3 with 1 Cor. 12:12-13 and Gal. 3:26-28

  30. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3-4 We can only change when we recognize the reality of who we are and how God now thinks of us.

  31. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3-4 Change does not occur when we define ourselves by our failures or who we have been.

  32. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3-4 Focusing on our sin and failure will short-circuit growth. James 1:23 – CONTEXT!

  33. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3-4 Repentance is an important factor in Christian growth. But dwelling on your old life, your sins, and who you were is counter-productive for growth.

  34. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3-4 This is all a process (2 Cor. 3:18) While laying hold of it is valuable, living with the correct mind set takes time and growth.

  35. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3-4 And, the glory of God is a crucial part of this.

  36. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3-4 Be careful to not use failure as an excuse.

  37. A New I.D. – Romans 6:3-4 The person does not exist whom God cannot change.
