Romans 6:1 asks a serious question: "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?" In better words, "Are we going to keep sinning so God can give us even more grace?" This question asks us if we are going to keep living in sin and use God as life insurance. Will we keep sinning and say, "God forgives?" Romans 6:2 answers this question.
"By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?" How can we, who let go of sin to obtain the free gift of salvation, still live in sin? This is a question that each of us can answer on our own. This verse says that we have no need to live in sin once we gave it up for Christ. How can we call ourselves Christians and still live in sin and do everything that God told us not to do? How can we claim to be followers of Christ but not follow Him? This is impossible.
So as you go on with your day, ask yourself this question. "How can we who died to sin still live in it?"
