Dead to Sin

Romans 6:2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

Verse 2 begins Paul’s answer to this thinking as an answer to Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?.

Certainly not! GOD forbid, NO WAY! That thinking would be completely off base.we who died to sin IF we have died to sin then there is no way that we would continue to live in sin.

This idea of a Born Again Christains being dead to sins is threaded throughout the New Testement.

Galatians 5:24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Colossians 3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
1 Peter 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness -- by whose stripes you were healed.

New testament Christianity clearly teaches that we die to sin not excuses it because grace will overshadow it.
