1) Romans 6:1-7
What was the new argument Paul addressed? Why would this argument be tempting for people to follow? In what way have Christians died to sin? What do we learn about baptism in this passage? What does it mean to live in newness of life? Do you feel like you are living in newness of life? Does your life show the example of being free from the bondage of sin?
2) Romans 6:8-14
How is the Christian life about a “death” experience? How is it about a “life” experience? What if being a Christian was just about one of these, and not the other? How would that change things? Of all those Jesus and His disciples raised from the dead in the New Testament, how many died again? What was different about Jesus’ experience? Why are we not to let sin reign in us? When it comes to dealing with sin in your life, what is the difference between being under the Law and under grace?
3) Romans 6:15-19
What was the next argument Paul addressed? How does it compare to the argument in 6:1? What are the choices when it comes to being a slave? What does a person’s life look like who is a slave to righteousness? What are the results of being a slave to righteousness? What does that mean?
4) Romans 6:20-23
What is the outcome of being a slave to sin? (What does a person earn for their sin?) What are the benefits of being a slave to righteousness? (What is the free gift of God?) How does understanding verse 20 change the way you approach non-Christians? Can you explain God’s free gift of grace to someone who doesn’t know about it? What evidence in your life points to whether you are a slave to sin or to righteousness?
