Romans 6:14

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:1-23

Salvation To The Uttermost (5:1-8:39). The depths of our sin having been revealed in Romans 1:17 to Romans 3:23, and Jesus Christ’s activity, (His activity in bringing about our salvation through the cross by means of the reckoning to us of His righteousness by faith), having been made known in Romans 3:24 to Romans 4:25, Paul now sets about demonstrating the consequences of this for all true believers (Romans 5:1 to Romans 8:39). He wants us immediately to recognise that being ‘accounted as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:14

‘For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.’ And all this because we have now come under a new regime. We have been transferred out from under the tyranny of darkness so that we may come under the Kingship of His beloved Son (Colossians 1:13). Sin therefore no longer has dominion over us. Its power has been defeated, and its main weapon, the accusatory Law, has had its fangs drawn. For whilst the Law could make its demands, it could not draw alongside... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:12-23

Romans 6:12-Isaiah : . The Christian’ s Severance from Sin. Romans 6:12 f. The conflict turns on the possession of the body: sin and God both claim the use of your “ limbs” ; sin must not “ reign in your mortal body,” though that body is in death’ s domain ( Romans 7:25, Romans 8:10 f.; cf. Romans 5:21). With the new man “ living to God in Christ Jesus” ( Romans 6:11), his “ limbs must be presented for weapons of righteousness,” no longer to be plied against God ( cf. Romans 12:1; 1... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Romans 6:14

In the Romans 6:12 it was an exhortation, but in this it is a promise, that sin shall not reign in and over us. Rebel it may, but reign it shall not in the regenerate. It hath lost its absolule and uncontrolled power. It fares with sin in such as with those beasts in Daniel 7:12, who, though their lives were prolonged for a season, had their dominion taken away. It is an encouragement to fight, when we are sure of victory. For ye are not under the law, but under grace: he adds this as a reason... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Romans 6:12-21

CRITICAL NOTESRomans 6:12.—Sin works bodily desires as the utterances of itself, obedience to which gives it its domain in the body (Wordsworth). Sin personified as a sort of rival sovereign or deity.Romans 6:13.—Do not wield arms for sin. Be as one who has come out of the world of the dead into that of the living, and whose present life has nothing in common with the former.Romans 6:14. Under grace.—Both justifying and renewing. In the evangelical state in which grace is offered and bestowed... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Romans 6:11-14

Romans 6:11-14 On Realising the Ideal. I. What is the theory of the Christian's condition? As just explained by the Apostle, it is this: The Christian is a man who, like his Master, is already dead to all sin and alive only towards God. He has ceased, in other words, to have anything further to do with sin. With God he has everything further to do. This has resulted, as a matter of course, from the close union, or, as it were, incorporation, which his faith has effected betwixt him and Jesus... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Romans 6:14

DISCOURSE: 1847A PROMISE OF VICTORY OVER SINRomans 6:14. Sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.IT is often made a ground of objection against the Gospel, that it is unfavourable to morality. But the very reverse of this is true; for the Gospel not only inculcates moral duties as strictly as the law itself, but suggests far stronger motives for the performance of them, and even provides strength whereby we shall be enabled to perform them. A great... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Romans 6:1-23

Chapter 6What shall we say then? ( Romans 6:1 )If where sin abounds, grace does much more abound,Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? ( Romans 6:1 )No. Let's let God reveal how much grace there is by continuing in sin. Paul's answer is typical:God forbid ( Romans 6:2 ).Now he gives to you the new principal of life.How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? ( Romans 6:2 )I have received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. In receiving Jesus Christ as my Lord and... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Romans 6:1-23

Romans 6:1 . Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? The apostle having said, that as sin had abounded by the entrance of the law, so grace had much more abounded by the proclamation of the gospel, proceeds now to rebut the malicious slander of the jews, who had said, as in chap. Romans 3:8, that the christian doctrine encouraged men to do evil that good might come, presuming that God conferred righteousness without renovation of heart. He refutes this calumny, by pressing on... read more
