The apostle Paul quotes his would be accusers, "What should we say then, should we continue in sin so that grace may increase?" Paul emphatically responds, "May it NEVER be! How can we who have DIED to sin continue to live in it?" What does this mean? How have we died to sin? I certainly don't feel like sin is completely dead in me? This sermon explores Romans 6:1-14 and connects Paul's metaphor of baptism as being united to Jesus' death and resurrection to the mystic path and process of spiritual growth. Enjoy!
