If you have your Bible with you this morning we are going to pick back up in Romans Chapter 6.
The more and more I dive into this letter the more appreciate Paul’s dedication to helping believers grow in their relationship with God.
That is exactly what Paul is doing in Chapter 6.
He is moving us through the process of Salvation in the entire life of the believer.
Salvation is a life process.
If you remember back a few weeks we broke down this process.

As we step into today’s scripture we are going to see Paul lay out the process of sanctification.
Something to remember today.
God meets you right where you are at.
God meets you right where you are at.
This is Justification!
Justification is the act of God whereby He forgives the sin of an unsaved person and credits/assigns to them the righteousness of Christ when through faith they believe.

This is where Sanctification comes in.

Sanctification is the act of separating ourselves from sin.
This is not about works it is about alignment.
Sin is like a bad relationship. It brings out the worst in you. It leaves you lonelier than it found you. It embarrasses you in public. It destroys you in secret and once it has a hold of you it is difficult to get free of.
In today’s section of scripture Paul lays out Six Strategies for Breaking Up with Sin.
Strategy Number 1: Remember that you have been Justified.
Strategy Number 1: Remember that you have been Justified.
1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
To be justified is to be made right.
I have to remind myself I have been made right therefore sin is no longer my master.
Strategy Number 2: Realize you have been united with Christ.
Strategy Number 2: Realize you have been united with Christ.
Because He Died We Died.
3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
2. Because He was we were buried.
4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
3. Because He was raised from the dead we were raised form the dead.
4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
