Daily Scripture Verse – Romans 6:15-18

Romans 6:15-18 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

From slaves of sin to slaves of righteousness is the transition Paul speaks of here in Romans. This chapter is very focused around the change that should occur with being a follower of Christ. The verses above make it clear that Grace should not be used as an excuse or even a license to sin. We are called through the Word to become a slave to it’s truth…to the truth that Jesus is the one and only Son of God and the only way to salvation.
