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

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

Romans 6:11-14Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus.Death a dutyThe Bible speaks of three kinds of deaths.1. That which is a necessary event--the death of the body.2. That which is a moral crime--death in trespasses and sins.3. That which is a righteous obligation--death unto sin.This is a death which every man should die, though few men do so. It is a death which requires earnest individual effort, and involves the agonies of a... read more

Romans 6:13Neither yield ye yourselves as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God. YieldingYielding is an image carried over from the world of matter into the world of mind. In every case of yielding you have pressure meeting with resistance and overcoming it. Note then--I. The pressure. There are many kinds of pressure. When your shoe pinches you it presses upon one small point only, but the kindly pressure of the air is upon every part of your body. And such is... read more

Romans 6:14For sin shall not have dominion over you.Domineering sin (a Lenten sermon):--There are different states of “sin.” There is sin latent, and fully manifest; there is sin you are striving to subdue, and sin dominant. It is concerning this last state that we have this promise--“Sin shall not lord it over you.” And there is a state beyond this when the sin is so conquered that it is actually changed into grace. A besetting sin, a characterising virtue; strong passions, ardent love; fear,... read more

Romans 6:15What then?Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? The doctrines of grace do not lead to sin1. Grace is the soul of the gospel: without it the gospel is dead. Grace is the music of the gospel; without it the gospel is silent as to all comfort. From the “A” to the “Z” in the heavenly alphabet everything in salvation is all of free favour, nothing of merit. “By grace are ye saved through faith,” etc.2. No sooner is this doctrine set forth, however, than men... read more

Romans 6:16-18Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey.The service of sin and the service of righteousnessI. The criterion of both--obedience. A disobedient servant is a contradiction in terms. Disobedience vitiates service and ensures formal dismissal from it. By obedience to the behests of sin sinners are to be distinguished. Sin’s code is the ten commandments with the “nots” omitted; and the world swarms with men and women who yield the most constant and earnest... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Romans 6:19-20

Romans 6:19-20I speak after the manner of men. Apostolic exhortationI. Its method. “After the manner of men,” i.e., (Gr.) humanly--as men ordinarily speak, borrowing any illustrations from common life. Spiritual subjects are made plainer by familiar comparisons, and so preachers should use simple language and homely illustrations. This was exemplified in Christ, and inspired writers in general. The most useful preachers have ever been those who speak most humanly. The arrow too high flies over... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Romans 6:21

Romans 6:21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?The characters of sinSin is here arraigned in all the periods of time.I. For the past as unfruitful. “What fruit had ye?” Sin ought to produce something: for it costs much. Now, for a man to labour and give up all the advantages of religion for nothing is hard indeed! And is not this the case? Read the history of wicked nations, families, individuals. Does the sinner ever gain what deserves the name of “fruit”? It... read more
