________________________________________________________________
4: What Baptism Does For You: Verses 6-7: Why were we crucified with Him? What is Paul’s illustration for our relationship to sin (apart from Christ)? See Romans 6.16-18
1: A Big Question
How does 1st century indentured servanthood help us understand what Paul is saying? What are we looking for from sin? How is it expressed in our lives?
Verses 1-2: What is the big question? How does it show itself in your life? What is Paul’s answer? Why does he find it so unthinkable?
Verses 8-10: How does our unity with Jesus and His death and resurrection set us free from slavery to sin?
2: The Outward Sign Verses The Inward Reality
5: What Baptism Wants From You:
Verses 3-4: What kind of “baptism” do you think is on Paul’s mind? Is he thinking of public experience with the water, something spiritual and inward, or both?
Verse 11: How should you see yourself? What does that entail?
Compare and contrast the sacrament of baptism with a wedding ring.
Verse 12: What should you do with every single aspect of your life?
3: What Baptism Does To You
Put verses 3, 11, and 12 together.
Verses 2-5: How is possible that you have already died, been buried, live a new life and will one day rise? What do the words baptized and united convey?
Discuss how this phrase helps describe the reality Paul is talking about:
2/ Explore - Read the Scripture. (Romans 6.1-14)
What does this truth mean? See Galatians 2.20, Colossians 3.1-4.
Be who you are.
6: The Power of Our Baptism: Verse 14: Why has sin lost its power over us? What does it mean to be under law? Why does grace change everything? What does this mean for pursing change in our lives and in the lives of others? ________________________________________________________________
What can you apply from these passages to your heart and life?
How can you better treasure what you have in Christ?
Where are you still offering yourself to a bad master?
How can you better offer yourself to God more consistently?
________________________________________________________________
3/Pray - Let’s cherish our union in Christ and ask that we would be more skillful in living under grace. 1. Pray that we would further know and enjoy our unification with Christ.
2. Pray that we would see more clearly where we tend to offer ourselves to sin. 3. Pray that we would learn to offer ourselves to Christ instead by His grace. 4. Pray for one another.
