Romans 6: The New Man

In Romans chapter 6 the Apostle Paul takes up the issue of antinomianism – a dangerous perversion of the gospel’s teaching that has often troubled the church. The antinomian says, ‘Ah, this gospel is a wonderful message of salvation by the free grace of God. Therefore, it doesn’t matter at all how you live as a believer; you are saved once and forever.’ The Apostle shows us why some people have misused the doctrine of the grace of God in that way, and explains why Christians – ‘the servants of righteousness’ – must not live in sin or let sin reign within.
