Ratko Mladić, James Earl Ray, Ted Bundy. . . “But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.” – Romans 6:22
What did you get out of that life? “What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.” – Romans 6:21
Where are you going to end up? “What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.” – Romans 6:21
Imagine being described like that! “And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.” – Romans 6:18

Did you see that? “But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.” – Romans 6:17-18
There are almost 8 billion of them in the world. “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” – Romans 6:16
What does that knowledge do for you? “What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!” – Romans 6:15
We both know better than that… “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” – Romans 6:14
No one wants to be defeated. “Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead.” – Romans 6:13
Sin doesn’t have to rule you. “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.” – Romans 6:12
There’s an obvious thing many people don’t do… “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” – Romans 6:11
