First Day
Read the Lesson 10 Notes
Second Day
Read Romans 6:12-14
Romans 6:12-14
[12] Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires, [13] and do not present your members to sin as instruments to be used for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments to be used for righteousness. [14] For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace. (NET)
Question 3
Romans 4:22-25
[22] So indeed it was credited to Abraham as righteousness.
[23] But the statement it was credited to him was not written only for Abraham’s sake, [24] but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited, those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. [25] He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification. (NET)
Romans 5:17, 20-21
[17] For if, by the transgression of the one man, death reigned through the one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ! [20] Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more, [21] so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (NET)
Romans 6:3-11
[3] Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? [4] Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.
[5] For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection. [6] We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. [7] (For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)
[8] Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. [9] We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery over him. [10] For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God. [11] So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. (NET)
Question 4a
Ephesians 4:22-24
[22] You were taught with reference to your former way of life to lay aside the old man who is being corrupted in accordance with deceitful desires, [23] to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, [24] and to put on the new man who has been created in God’s image—in righteousness and holiness that comes from truth. (NET)
Colossians 3:9-10
[9] Do not lie to one another since you have put off the old man with its practices [10] and have been clothed with the new man that is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of the one who created it. (NET)
Third Day
Read Romans 6:15-16
Romans 6:15-16
[15] What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not! [16] Do you not know that if you present yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness? (NET)
Fourth Day
Read Romans 6:17-18
Romans 6:17-18
[17] But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were entrusted to, [18] and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness. (NET)
Question 10
Romans 3:21-26
[21] But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (although it is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed— [22] namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, [23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. [24] But they are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. [25] God publicly displayed him at his death as the mercy seat accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed. [26] This was also to demonstrate his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness. (NET)
Romans 6:1-14
[1] What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase? [2] Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? [3] Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? [4] Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.
[5] For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection. [6] We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. [7] (For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)
[8] Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. [9] We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery over him. [10] For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God. [11] So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
[12] Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires, [13] and do not present your members to sin as instruments to be used for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments to be used for righteousness. [14] For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace. (NET)
Fifth Day
Read Romans 6:19-23
Romans 6:19-23
[19] (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. [20] For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.
[21] So what benefit did you then reap from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death. [22] But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life. [23] For the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NET)
Sixth Day
Review Romans 6:12-23
Romans 6:12-23
[12] Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires, [13] and do not present your members to sin as instruments to be used for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments to be used for righteousness. [14] For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.
[15] What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not! [16] Do you not know that if you present yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness? [17] But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were entrusted to, [18] and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness. [19] (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. [20] For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.
