There is, of course, no literary break between Romans 5 and Romans 6. But now Paul is going to show that Christ's victory at Calvary liberates us....
How do those of us who are under grace live without being characterized by sin? How are we to live lives of victory? Paul shows us in Romans....

Only God is worthy of worship, and Scripture points us to him alone as the object of our lives. When we worship him, however, who is it for? We use terms like “bless the Lord” and “exalt him,” like ou...

As Jesus’ saints, we persevere and we are assured God will complete in us what He began (Philippians 1:16). At the moment of true conversion, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. He is our guarantee....
