Romans 6

“Let Not Sin … Reign in Your Mortal Body”

Picture in your mind a new convert dressed in white and standing in a baptismal font. What words might you use to describe a person in this situation?

The Apostle Paul encouraged the Saints to put away their sins, yield their souls unto God, and come unto Christ. We can follow Paul’s counsel by exercising faith, repenting, and making and keeping sacred covenants with the Lord.
