Freedom! Dead to Sin! Romans 6 verse 2. Lessons from Elisha and Elijah. JS Gillespie

The burden of sin, guilt and condemnation are carried by the Lord Jesus in Romans chapter 3 to 5. The propitiation of Jesus Christ at the mercy seat brings reconciliation between the sinner and a Holy and righteous God. The penalty of our sin is dealt with at the cross of Jesus Christ. He is my substitute and sacrifice for my sin. In Romans chapter 6 we move from the burdens that Jesus bore to the blessings that Jesus brings for the Christian. The truth of sanctification is opened up, that I might yield to the God from whom I was separated from, serve Him and glorify God forever, the purpose for which I was created.
