daily reading 10.2 (Romans 6:1–2)

5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024

Our opening prayer for this week:

Drawn to the Cross, which you have blessed

With healing gifts for souls distressed,

To find in you my life, my rest,

Christ Crucified, I come.

How well you know my griefs and fears,

Your grace abused, my misspent years;

Yet now to you with contrite tears,

Christ Crucified, I come.

Wash me and take away each stain;

Let nothing of my sin remain.

For cleansing, through your cross and pain,

Christ Crucified, I come.

To pledge my labor willingly

Which shall so sweet a service be

That angels well might envy me,

Christ Crucified, I come. Amen.

 

Romans 6:1–2

• What should we say then? Should we continue in sin so that grace may multiply?
• ² Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
