Romans Chapter 6
IN THIS LESSON
Paul says in v. 12, “So, don’t allow sin to rule in your mortal body,” as if sin is a suprahuman power, not merely a moral failure or the breaking of rules. Nobel Prize laureate Bob Dylan famously said and sang, “You’ve Gotta Serve Somebody.” Have you ever experienced sin exercising power over you? Have you witnessed someone presenting their body to God, for His glory (Rom. 6:13)?
