Romans 6 shows that salvation doesn\u2019t just forgive sin\u2014it fundamentally changes who we are. Through Christ\u2019s death and resurrection, Christians have died to their old selves and been raised to new life, meaning they are no longer slaves to sin but servants of righteousness. Blaine emphasizes that grace is never a license to keep sinning; instead, grace empowers obedience. The call of the passage is to live in light of what is already true\u2014counting ourselves dead to sin, actively turning away from it, and offering our lives fully to God as people who have been made alive in Christ.
