Rom 6:19-23
19 I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- What attitudes and behaviors remain in your life that you are ashamed of?
- What perceived benefit do you receive from keeping these shameful things in your life?
- What is the outcome of remaining enslaved to these things?
- What is the outcome of your being enslaved to God?
- Why is death considered a wage?
- Why is eternal life considered a gift?
- In purely selfish terms, which is worth more to you: eternal life or the sins that you hang on to?
- How does being a slave to righteousness lead to your sanctification, i.e. your being set apart?
- What is the endpoint of sanctification?
