6:7 Week 13 Questions
FIRST DAY
Read Romans 6:1-7. Make sure that you remember to ask the Lord for
wisdom. In Romans 6:7 you see the phrase, “for he who has
died is freed from sin.” The believer is freed forever from
having to be dominated by the power of sin. That truth is set in
concrete, and you will study it much more fully in the next few
weeks.
But we need to take a slight detour and ask ourselves if the believer
has forever been freed from the penalty of sin. In other words,
we need to know how many of the believer’s sins (acts of sin)
were forgiven at the point of justification. We will take this week
to research our answer, so get ready for an interesting journey.
1. Take today to ponder on verses that might assist you in studying
the issue of forgiveness. Write down any comments below.
Romans 6:7 Week 13 Lesson:
I cannot wait for you to read this week’s lesson. If
what is taught here affects your life the way it has mine, you are
in for a treat!

he has been freed from it through his death with Christ on the cross
(Romans 6:7). The old man is dead, and the believer is free to say

message is that no dead man can respond to any kind of stimulus—even
to the power of sin. But a believer commits acts of sin, doesn't he?
Why then does he commit acts of sin if his old man is dead? We will
spend a lot of time over the next few weeks answering these questions,
but we first... |
