BSF Study Questions Romans: From Guilt to Grace Lesson 10 Day 4: Romans 6:5-10

October 28, 2026October 16, 2026 by atozmom, posted in BSF Romans: From Guilt to Grace 2026/2027

Summary of Romans 6:5-10

Since we died with Christ, we will also we raised with Christ. Because believers are united with Christ in his death, their old sinful self has been crucified, permanently breaking their enslavement to sin. Just as Christ was resurrected and defeated death once for all, believers are guaranteed to share in his victory, freed from sin’s mastery to live a new, eternal life for God.

BSF Study Questions Romans: From Guilt to Grace Lesson 10, Day 4: Romans 6:5-10

9) Romans 6:5: We are united with him in death and resurrections

Romans 6:6-7: Our bodies are no longer slaves to sin, as we have been set free from sin.

Romans 6:8-9: Death no longer rules us as it does Christ. We will live with him again.

Romans 6:10: We died to sin once and for all; and, we’ll live again with God.

10)Tthe “old self” is our former, unregenerate nature characterized by deceitful desires (Ephesians 4:22), earthly passions, and corrupt practices like immorality and greed (Colossians 3:5). It represents the pre-conversion identity that believers must actively “put off” (Colossians 3:8-9), replacing it with a “new self” created in God’s righteous likeness (Ephesians 4:24; Colossians 3:10).

11) I thank God for my eternal life, my new self, and my death to sin. I do believe whole-heartedly that He has set me free from sin!

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Romans: From Guilt to Grace Lesson 10, Day 4: Romans 6:5-10

Such power in these verses! Such truth, such encouragement! We are alive in Christ! Amen!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Romans: From Guilt to Grace Lesson 10, Day 4: Romans 6:5-10

Our union with Christ is both in death and resurrection.

Our old self is patterned after Adam and must be put to death, and therefore dies with Jesus on the cross.

The new self is instinctively obedient and pleasing to God. When Christ rose again, so did our new self.

The old self is different than the flesh, which is our emotions, etc. that still tempt us to sin. The flesh is influenced by the devil, by society, and our old propensity to sin.

Our new self has eternal life since death went away with the old self. We live to please God with our new self, not ourselves. That was the old self.

Fun Fact: A variant of the word “died” occurs 3 times in Romans 6.

END NOTES SUMMARIZED

In Romans 6:5-10, Paul expands on the mechanism of a believer’s spiritual union with Christ, explaining exactly how this union breaks the power of sin and guarantees a transformed life.

Here is the breakdown of his argument in these verses:

The Guarantee of Resurrection (Verse 5): Paul establishes an unbreakable cause-and-effect relationship. If a believer has been intimately united with Christ in His death, they are equally guaranteed to share in the reality of His resurrection life. The death and the resurrection are a package deal; you cannot have one without the other.
Crucifying the Old Self (Verse 6): The “old self”—the former, unregenerate human nature that was entirely susceptible to rebellion—was put to death on the cross with Jesus. The specific purpose of this co-crucifixion is to render the “body of sin” powerless, fundamentally breaking the chains of slavery so that sin can no longer dictate the believer’s actions.
Freedom Through Death (Verse 7): Paul applies a universal legal and spiritual axiom: death cancels all debts and contractual obligations. A dead person cannot be ordered around by a former master. Therefore, having died with Christ, the believer is legally emancipated and acquitted from sin’s authority.
Confidence in the New Life (Verse 8): Because the believer has shared in this definitive death, they can possess an unshakeable confidence that they now participate in Christ’s enduring, victorious life.
The Permanence of Christ’s Victory (Verses 9-10): Paul emphasizes the absolute finality of what Jesus accomplished. Christ’s resurrection was not a temporary resuscitation; death no longer has any jurisdiction over Him. He died to the realm and penalty of sin “once for all,” and His current, eternal state is lived entirely in unbroken fellowship with God.

CONCLUSION

Because believers are inextricably joined to Christ, His permanent victory becomes their permanent reality. The Christian is no longer defined by their past subjugation to sin, but by a definitive, irreversible transfer into a new realm of existence where they share in Christ’s triumph and are empowered to live entirely for God.

BSF Study Questions Romans: From Guilt to Grace Lesson 10 Day 3: Reread Romans 6:1-4

October 27, 2026October 10, 2026 by atozmom, posted in BSF Romans: From Guilt to Grace 2026/2027

Summary of Romans 6:1-4

We should not go on sinning. We were raised from the dead just as Christ was and through him we may live a new life.

We cannot continue sinning, for we died to sin. United with Christ’s death and burial through baptism, we are raised to walk in new life.

BSF Study Questions Romans: From Guilt to Grace Lesson 10, Day 3: Romans 6:1-4

7) Water baptism serves as an outward, physical sign pointing to the inward, invisible reality of a believer’s spiritual transformation and total union with God.

Union with Christ’s Death and Resurrection (Colossians 2:11-12; Galatians 3:26-27): Baptism visually represents a “spiritual circumcision” where the old sinful nature is decisively cut away. It signifies being buried with Christ and subsequently raised to new life through faith in God’s power. Believers are entirely enveloped in Christ’s identity, having “clothed themselves” with Him.
Cleansing and Forgiveness (Acts 2:38): It acts as a public seal of a believer’s repentance and the forgiveness of sins, illustrating that their past transgressions have been washed away by God’s grace.
Incorporation into the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13): Water baptism points to the unifying work of the Holy Spirit, who immerses every believer into one singular spiritual family—the global Church—breaking down all earthly, societal, and ethnic divisions.
Immersion into the Trinity (Matthew 28:19-20): Being baptized “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” demonstrates a total allegiance and submission to the triune God, marking the formal initiation into lifelong discipleship.
Internal Empowerment (Acts 1:5): Just as a person is physically immersed in water, the act points to the greater reality of being baptized with the Holy Spirit. This signifies the permanent, internal indwelling of God’s presence, empowering the believer for their new life.

8a) We died to sin when we were baptized into Christ and his sacrifice gave us new life. Believers died to sin through spiritual union with Jesus Christ in baptism. By sharing in his death, their former enslavement to sin is permanently and completely broken.

b) I want to sin less each and every day. I find myself avoiding sin and sinful situations. I live for Jesus and therefore live out the life he wants for me, not the life I want for myself.

Believers experience this death and step into a new life through a radical change in spiritual representation and identity.

Experiencing the Death to Sin Believers experience death to sin not through their own effort, but by being legally and spiritually united with Christ’s finished work:

Changing Lineages (Romans 5:12-21): Humanity originally fell under the dominion of sin and death through Adam’s disobedience. Believers experience death to sin by being transferred out of Adam’s doomed lineage and into Christ’s lineage of grace. The grip of sin is broken because believers are no longer represented by Adam, but by Christ.
Substitutionary Death (2 Corinthians 5:14): Paul argues that because “one died for all, therefore all died.” When a person places their faith in Jesus, they are credited with His death. The old self, bound to the penalty and power of sin, is considered legally dead.

Living the New Life With the old self dead, 2 Corinthians 5:15-21 describes the new life as an entirely different reality characterized by a new purpose, standing, and mission:

A Complete Re-creation: The believer is fundamentally remade. As Paul writes, “the old has gone, the new is here!”
Living for Christ: The resurrection empowers a shift in core motivation. Those who are alive spiritually “should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.”
Walking in Righteousness: Because God made Christ “to be sin for us,” believers now embody “the righteousness of God.” Rather than living under condemnation, they “reign in life” through God’s abundant grace (Romans 5:17).
Acting as Ambassadors: The new life is actively missional. Believers are entrusted with the “ministry of reconciliation,” serving as Christ’s representatives to plead with a broken world to be reconciled to God.

c) The power of Jesus in the form of the Holy Spirit. Sin no longer is in control. We are God’s instruments to live a holy life that He wants for us.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Romans: From Guilt to Grace Lesson 10, Day 3: Romans 6:1-4

I love this analogy with baptism! The idea that as we entered the water, we were sinners and as we rose, we were a new creation into the arms of Jesus. So, so powerful!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Romans: From Guilt to Grace Lesson 10, Day 3: Romans 6:1-4

We die to sin when we accept Jesus’s death on the cross. So, why would you want to sin evermore?

Baptism means to be immersed or overwhelmed by something.

Here, Paul says we are immersed in Jesus. When we were baptized, we were buried. When we rose up from the water, we were born again.

Essentially, there is no way to accept Jesus into your heart and not come out on the other side completely changed. We died and rose with Jesus!

END NOTES SUMMARIZED

Paul’s argument in Romans 6:1-4 addresses a dangerous misunderstanding of his teaching on grace. Because he previously stated that where sin increased, grace abounded all the more (Romans 5:20), he anticipates critics arguing that his gospel encourages people to keep sinning so they can receive more grace.

Here is the breakdown of his counterargument in these four verses:

The Absurdity of Abusing Grace (Verses 1-2): Paul violently rejects the premise that grace is a license to sin with the emphatic phrase, “By no means!” (or “God forbid!”). He establishes a fundamental truth: a believer has “died to sin.” This does not mean believers are incapable of sinning, but rather that their fundamental relationship to sin’s authority has been severed. Just as a dead person no longer responds to physical stimuli, a person dead to sin is no longer enslaved to its demands.
Identification Through Baptism (Verse 3): Paul uses the imagery of baptism to explain how this death to sin occurs. Being “baptized into Christ Jesus” means being immersed into a profound spiritual union with him. Because believers are united with Christ, they share intimately in his history—specifically, they are baptized into his death. The penalty for sin was paid on the cross, and believers are credited with that death.
Burial and Resurrection to New Life (Verse 4): Paul brings the metaphor to its logical completion. Burial signifies the absolute finality of death; the old self is decisively put in the grave. However, the purpose of this spiritual death and burial is entirely forward-looking. Just as the glory of the Father raised Jesus from the grave, believers are spiritually resurrected right now so they can walk in “newness of life.” The focus shifts from the removal of sin to the empowerment of a transformed, holy life.

Conclusion

The core message of this passage is that the gospel is not merely a transaction for the forgiveness of sins, but a radical transformation of human identity. Grace does not leave a person where it found them. By uniting believers to the death and resurrection of Jesus, God permanently breaks the dominion of sin and supplies the resurrection power necessary to live a transformed, obedient life.

3) Paul previously stated that where sin increased, grace abounded all the more (Romans 5:20). People could argue that committing more sin is actually a good thing because it provides God with a larger canvas to display His grace. True grace does not endorse sin, but fundamentally breaks a person’s enslavement to it.

4) “We” and “us” are believers. We have been forgiven of our sins, so why have regrets?

5) People sin more. Believing sin does not matter leads to moral decay, hypocrisy, and spiritual regression. It cheapens God’s grace and fundamentally contradicts our new identity in Christ.

6) Honestly, never. I just don’t think like that.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Romans: From Guilt to Grace Lesson 10, Day 2: Romans 6:1-4

Great argument once again by Paul to say we live a transformed life through Christ, so we should not want to sin more, but, instead, be more like Jesus.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 5: Revelation 5:11-14

October 31, 2024October 19, 2024 by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Revelation 5:11-14

Millions of angels encircled the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. They were saying how Jesus is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise. All the creatures in heaven and earth gave God and Jesus praise, honor, glory, and power. The four living creatures around the throne said “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 5: Revelation 5:11-14

10a) Jesus is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise. Jesus is worthy because he was slain for us.

b) Worship is all-encompassing. It’s about praise, honor, and glory. It’s important to God and Jesus. It shows I need to be more purposeful in my praise and worship.

11a) John saw all the creatures in heaven and earth gave God and Jesus praise, honor, glory, and power. The four living creatures around the throne said “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped. Everything in heaven and earth praised the Lamb. This is appropriate because God/Jesus is creator over all things. Without them, we’d be nothing.

b) God created mankind in his image and He created all of the animals. He gave man dominion over the earth. God is the Creator of the universe, and we should honor him and give him all of the glory. We also need to care for what God has given us and that includes all of the animals of the earth. We all need to care more about all of God’s creatures.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 5: Revelation 5:11-14

Heaven seems like such an amazing place, doesn’t it?! What a sight to see — thousands of angels surrounding God and Jesus!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 5: Revelation 5:11-14

Note that only the elders are singing the song of the redeemed. (This is the 2nd song of praise we see here). Nowhere in the Bible do we see angels redeemed. So, as far as we know, only mankind is redeemed.

Worship in Greek means “to fall down” and “to prostrate.” The elders literally did this.

The entire Bible is a chronicle of God’s plan to redeem His children aka us. How amazing!

Then, we see all of Creation join in for the 3rd song of praise here. Jesus will carry out God’s redemptive plan! Amen!

Summary of Revelation 5:8-10

The elders and the four living creatures worshipped the Lamb when he took the scroll. They praised Jesus for purchasing for God believers who will reign on earth forever.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 4: Revelation 5:8-10

7a) They fell down before the Lamb and worshipped him with a new song.

b) The Lamb was worthy because he was slain and purchased for God persons from all over the world and made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve God and reign on earth.

c) That the Lamb/Jesus sacrificed himself so we could be purchased for God. This means everything to me as now I can spend eternity with God, worshipping him, too.

8 ) I know that Jesus has purchased me because I’ve prayed for Jesus to come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. God has chosen me to be with Him forever. The Holy Spirit lives inside of me. He has purchased us from a life of hell and eternal damnation.

9a) Humans/believers in Christ. Praising the Lord and serving Him all the rest of my days. Telling others of Christ, our Lord and Savior. Living a Godly life so that others may see and believe.

b) This is a tough one. I would be more Godly and do more things Jesus would do. I think what I deem important would not be as much.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 4: Revelation 5:8-10

I love this image of Jesus and those worshipping him and how we one day will as well!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 4: Revelation 5:8-10

Fun Fact: This passage is where harps in heaven come from!

No doubt there will be music in heaven!

This “new song” is the first of 3 hymns we’ll see from the elders and the living creatures.

Golden bowls full of prayers. What an image!

Incense usually smells good, it flows upwards towards heaven, and it requires fire! Amazing! Incense in the Bible is seen as carrying the people’s prayer up to God.

Vere dignus is Latin for “you are worthy.” The Roman emperors used this as a greeting. However, there’s only one who is worthy!

Our kingdom is heaven as we reign as kings with Jesus. Jesus is our mediator, allowing us to be priests.

Fun Fact: “New song” appears 9 times in the Bible.

Summary of Revelation 5:6-7

John sees a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.He [Jesus] went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 3: Revelation 5:6-7

5a) Jesus. Jesus looked like a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes.

b) The Lamb was slain to cover our sins, so believers can be with God for all of eternity. This means everything to me, for I know where I’m going and where I belong and who I belong to.

6a) God and Jesus are one.

b) It symbolizes completion. Jesus fully sees and understands (omniscient). The horns represent power, so we see Jesus’ absolute authority (omnipotence) over all. The seven spirits are the Holy Spirit both the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 3: Revelation 5:6-7

What a great picture! We see God’s plan coming to fruition with Jesus opening the scroll. How amazing!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 3: Revelation 5:6-7

Since the Lamb looked like it had been slain, it probably bore the marks of crucifixion.

October 28, 2024October 19, 2024 by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

Summary of Revelation 5:1-5

John sees God holding a scroll sealed with 7 seals. There was no one worthy to open the scrolls. John wept because no one was able to open the scrolls. Then, one of the elders said that the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Jesus) is able to open the scroll.

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 2: Revelation 5:1-5

3a) John saw God holding a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. The angel asked, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”

b) He wept. He was so overwhelmed with grief cause he knew the scroll needed to be opened since the angel was seeking someone worthy. He may have thought the future lay on it and he wanted to know it. Or, he thought that the world would end if it were not opened. Whatever John thought, it was profound enough to make him cry.

4a) The elder said, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

b) These are messianic titles or titles for Jesus. Judah is compared to a lion’s cub, and it is from the tribe of Judah that Jesus will come. Jesus will come from the line of David. He will establish the forever kingdom.

c) Jesus overcame sin to save all of humanity with his blood. He purchased us for God. It is encouraging and gives me hope when I am down.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 2: Revelation 5:1-5

I love how Jesus is worthy!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 10, Day 2: Revelation 5:1-5

Most scrolls at that time only had writing on one side. There were 7 strings that were sealed with wax creating the 7 seals on this one scroll.

No one knows what is on this scroll, and only Jesus can open it. Many Bible scholars say this seal holds the history of the world and is God’s final will because wills in Roman times had 7 seals on them.

The Messianic title Lion of the tribe of Judah comes from Genesis 49:9-10, Isaiah 31:4, and Hosea 11:10. Root of David comes from Isaiah 11:10 and is also used in Revelation 22:16.

The scroll is most likely God’s redemptive plan for mankind come to fruition, as well as His purposes for the world. If it’s not opened, none of it will be fulfilled.

November 7, 2023November 4, 2023 by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

SUMMARY OF John 6:52-59

Jesus says that unless the people accept his flesh and blood sacrifice on the cross, they will not have eternal life. Those who do accept his sacrifice will have Jesus remain in them. Jesus’ bread is eternal, unlike the manna bread their ancestors ate.6)

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 10, Day 3: John 6:52-59

6) The blood protected the people from God’s judgment when they were in ancient Egypt. The blood covered the people, so God did not see their sins and passed over them, rather than judging/killing them.

7) The people ate the meat. When the people ate the meat, they believed in God’s instructions to save them. When people accept Jesus’ flesh sacrifice on the cross, they believe in Jesus and in his promise to save them.

8a) Eternal life. That Jesus would always abide in them. They will be raised up on the last day.

b) It makes it more concrete; accept what Jesus did on the cross and you’ll have life.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 10, Day 3: John 6:52-59

Great explanation of Jesus of what he meant by “eating” his flesh and blood. Accept his sacrifice; that is all. Albeit, it was hard for the people of the day to grasp this idea since it was so very new.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 10, Day 3: John 6:52-59

Bible scholars believe that the Jewish leaders did understand Jesus here but chose to use the face-value meaning of actually eating and drinking Jesus’ blood rather than the symbolism here to help condemn Jesus. This causes confusion amongst others.

Jesus continues his explanation in order to refute the Jewish leaders’ interpretation.

It in internalizing the metaphor that leads to life. Then, we abide in him and him in us.

Once you receive Jesus (eat his flesh), you will have everlasting life.

All this took place at a synagogue on a Sunday in a church in Capernaum.

November 6, 2023November 4, 2023 by atozmom, posted in BSF John's Gospel: The Truth 2023/2024

SUMMARY OF JOHN 6:41-51

The Jews were unsure of Jesus calling himself the bread of life because they grew up with him. How could he have come down from heaven? Jesus tells them to stop grumbling. All who come to him were chosen by the Father and those who come will be raised. Anyone can eat the bread from heaven that Jesus offers and live.

BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 10, Day 2: John 6:41-51

3) “Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.” Those who have heard the word of God and believed in Jesus will come to Jesus. The Scriptures speak of Jesus. The Bible is full of the Spirit and Life.

4) Jesus says that no one has seen the Father except him. And, anyone who has seen Jesus has seen God. It means that those who know Jesus know God, so we can grow closer to God the closer we grow to Christ and the deeper our faith grows.

5) With belief in Christ, you will live forever. My response is joy, hope, peace, and comfort.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 10, Day 2: John 6:41-51

I love how intricately God and Jesus are linked, and it’s hard to grasp, but Jesus’ analogy of the bread of life makes it easier.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 10, Day 2: John 6:41-51

Fun Fact: Six times Jesus says he ‘came down from heaven’ (6:33, 38, 41, 50, 51, 58).

Accepting Jesus as from heaven is too much for those who knew Jesus as a child growing up. In addition, they expect someone to emerge from the clouds as their Savior.

The Jews believed because they were born Jews that they get to heaven automatically. Jesus says that God chooses them to believe in him instead. Heaven is not automatic.

Those who come will have everlasting life. Jesus quoted from Isaiah 54:13 saying then they will be taught by God.

If you are taught by God, you will believe in Jesus because they are one in the same.

No one else in the Bible has ever made claims of being God’s son and offering everlasting life. This is why the people are so confused.

Jesus is necessary for spiritual life as bread is for physical life.

The manna in the wilderness was for physical needs. Jesus is the bread of life and is everlasting.

The bread is his flesh/life that he will give to save the world.
