Here's Grace to You, Bible teacher John MacArthur.

I have wanted to do a series on Romans chapter 8 for a while.

This is one of the greatest chapters in all of Holy Scripture.

And we're going to begin that next Sunday.

But as a preparation for that, we need to know a little bit about the chapters that come

before.

So that is why I read chapter 7 and I will now read a portion from even chapter 6.

So open your Bible to Romans chapter 6.

This is going to be a very important series for all of us as we understand the believers

battle with sin better so that we can be victorious through our Lord.

I want to have you look at the opening of chapter 6 and I want to read the first seven

verses.

What shall we say then?

Are we to continue in sin so that Grace may increase?
