Romans: In View of God’s Mercy 6:15-23

November 05, 2023

Pastor Nate Roschen

This second segment of chapter 6 describes the new servanthood of believers to righteousness. Christians are freed from sin’s power for a reason, to serve righteousness. They have been brought from death to life, brought on by their new master. Followers of Christ have been given their own agency (as well as dignity) under their new master because they were given life. All Christians are now slaves, voluntarily, to God. They can reap holiness and eternal life as a benefit of this new relationship. The Pyramid of Honor is disassembled in this new metaphor. Those who previously were dishonored, the lower classes of the Roman world, are given new insight into their relationship with God that all believers can glean from.
