Powerful "Word pictures" are part of how the Apostle Paul sometimes chooses to communicate. Here's Romans 6:1-4, "Let me ask you a question, dear Brothers and Sisters: Should we keep on sinning/disobeying God, so that God can show us more and more mercy and forgiveness? OF COURSE NOT! Think of it this way: since we have chosen to "die" to sin by repenting of sin and turning to Jesus, why would a person keep on in such a way? We must remember that when we became Believers we were baptized to symbolize having become one in Spirit with Christ Jesus. Down into the water symbolizing having been buried with him; and, just as Christ was raised from the dead to new life by the Power of God, so, you were raised UP from the waters of baptism to New life in Christ Jesus." We leave the old life behind. We walk in "newness of life," doing what is good and right in the sight of the Lord, confessing
our sin when we fall short, asking for and receiving forgiveness from God, being "picked up" by the Holy Spirit of God so we can grow in steadiness in our Faith. Let's pray for each other to be faithful:"Stand in awe and do not sin ..."(Psalm 4:4a)
