On the sixth chapter in Romans Pastor Larry did speak
"Dead to sin, alive to Christ" was the apt title this week
For that is in line with the message of Easter weekend
And what in so many books of the Bible is penned
The first two verses refer back to Romans 5: 20
Shall we sin just because we have grace a-plenty?
"By no means", Paul seems to shout
Because "we died to sin", have no doubt
Further substantiation comes in verses three to ten
"Died with Christ, alive in Christ" again and again
And what must cause the enemy much chagrin
"Anyone who has died has been freed from sin"
Moving on to verses eleven through twenty three
Paul makes it clear that "alive in Christ" we should be
We should not obey our body's evil desires
But instead be a slave to righteousness' fires
Remember "the wages of sin is death", per verse 23
But the gift of God is life with Christ in eternity
Pastor ran through his points very quickly indeed
So that with moving testimonies we could proceed
We heard about so many before and after tales
God's hand was apparent, even in small details
