For Chrisitans ONLY please.?

Question

The Bible says…
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

Do our sins still bring about death even as Christians?

Answer 1

Of course, being a Christian does not give us any special privilege to sin.

Answer 2

As a follower of Christ your sin's have been forgiven. When Jesus died for your sins, He didn't die for only a select few of them. He died for all the sins you would commit. He had to have because the bible says that:
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:21)
"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." (1 Peter 3:18)
The gift of salvation is not "what you can do for it". If it were, it wouldn't be a gift.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Eph 2:8-9)
We cannot do anything to earn out salvation.
The death that is talked about is the second death, hell. If you have accepted Jesus' sacrifice as full payment for your sins, you will not be in hell. When a Christian sins...and we do because we are not "good" (the Bible says that there is no one good...not even one) ...we ask for forgiveness and turn from what we have done. I am also not saying that it is ok to sin. Paul said, should we just sin and let grace abound, Certainly not!
As Peter did when he walked on water with the Lord...when he had his eyes on Jesus, he was fine, when he took his eyes off of Jesus and focused on the storm, he sank. Then Jesus lifted him out again. Just as he will do for you.
We try not to "live in this world". We are but strangers here. He is coming soon. He said he would and I believe Him.

We just hang in there

Answer 3

Romans 6:1-10

Answer 4

yes that is why Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins

like if you got a speeding ticket & someone came to court , paid your ticket & took the blame for you getting the ticket so that you could be set free, that is what Jesus did w/ our sins all we have to do is take his free gift repent of our sins , change our ways & take him as our Lord & savior

SO if we are Christians yes our sins bring us to death, but since we have Jesus as our savior &
we asked him to forgive us then we shall live an
eternal life in Heaven

hope this was helpful

Answer 5

Dead to Sin, Alive to God
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:1-11

Answer 6

There are two ways to look at this passage. First, we see it in a physical sense, because of our sins we will die in our physical body, it is inevitable.
Second, since christ died on the cross to forgive that debt, after we die we are granted the gift of eternal life, that is if you accept it. so one way is physical, the second is spiritual. As christians we are going to die no matter what, just like everyone else, in our physical bodies, but since we have accepted the gift from God, known as Christ, we will live for ever in a spiritual sense. If it wasnt for sin we would live forever, like God first intended, but since our flesh disobeyed it must pay the price which is death. but our spirit did not sin, so if you live in the spirit and accept Gods gift, then you will live forever, so yes, we are sinners and will die physically, but will not die spiritually since you took the gift.

Answer 7

you can repent from sins but for example if you sinned and did some drugs that killed you...then wouldn't that be sin bringing death. so yes, if you sin it may still bring death however, if you are a christian then you will be going to heaven. Christians still must obey God and his commandments but now they have the Holy Spirit there to guide and direct them verses them trying to behave on their own which would be impossible. God will forgive you for your sins but turn to him for help avoiding them.

and sinning as a christian will not bring spiritual death and damnation which i think the passage is more referring 2. the passage if i am not mistaken is talking about accepting God we receive eternal life with him verses staying in our state of sin that dooms the nonbeliever to hell. he paid the price and it was his gift to us, eternal life with him. He offers forgiveness of transgressions.

Answer 8

When we place our faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, ALL of our sins are forgiven. That includes past, present, and future, big or small. Believers do not have to keep asking for forgiveness or repenting in order to have their sins forgiven. Jesus died to pay the penalty for all of our sins, and when they are forgiven, they are all forgiven (Colossians 1:14; Acts 10:43).

What we are to do is confess our sins: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Please note that this Scripture does not mention asking God for forgiveness. Scripture nowhere instructs believers in Christ to ask God for forgiveness. What 1 John 1:9 tells us to do is “confess” our sins to God. The word “confess” means “to agree with.” When we confess our sins to God, we are agreeing with God that we were wrong, that we have sinned. God forgives us, through confession, on an ongoing basis because of the fact that He is “faithful and just.” How is God “faithful and just?” He is faithful by forgiving sins; that He has promised to do for all those who receive Christ as Savior. He is just by applying Christ’s payment for our sins, recognizing that the sins have indeed been atoned for.

1 John 1:9 does, though, indicate that somehow forgiveness is dependent on our confessing our sins to God. How does this work if all of our sins are forgiven the moment we receive Christ as Savior? It seems what the Apostle John is describing here is “relational” forgiveness. All of our sins are forgiven “positionally” the moment we receive Christ as Savior. This “positional” forgiveness guarantees our salvation and promise of an eternal home in Heaven. When we stand before God after death, God will not deny us entrance into Heaven because of our sins. That is “positional” forgiveness. The concept of “relational” forgiveness is based on the fact that when we sin, we offend God and grieve His Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). While God has ultimately forgiven us of the sins we commit, they still result in a blocking or hindrance in our relationship with God. A young boy who sins against his father is not cast out of the family. A godly father will forgive his children unconditionally. At the same time, a good relationship between father and son cannot be achieved until the relationship is restored. This can only occur when a child confesses his mistakes to his father, and apologizes. That is why we confess our sins to God…not to maintain our salvation, but to bring ourselves back into close fellowship with the God who loves us and has already forgiven us.

Answer 9

The point of the quote is that our sin *earns* us death, but the gift of God, given even though we do not deserve it, provides us with eternal life.

Answer 10

As Christians we should have a clearer understanding of sin and how it affects our relationship with God. Every time we sin we "kill" the relationship with have with God and with his creation. If you are a Christian the penalty for sin is already taken care of.

Answer 11

Well.. the death he's talking about in this verse would be spiritual death(going to Hell). We all deserve Hell, but since we are christians and we have been saved from Hell when we sin we can be forgiven and go to heaven. But once saved alwys saved, so you won't go to hell if you sin(only if your saved.
Know what I mean?
