Romans 6:1-2
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?”
Paul is writing a letter to Christians in Rome, likely around 57 AD, explaining the implications of Jesus' death and resurrection. He has just described God's overwhelming grace and how it has surpassed the impact of sin, leading some to wonder if more sin might lead to even more grace.
What does it mean to truly 'die to sin' in a way that embraces grace without excusing harm?
