Romans 6:17-18, With Much Thanksgiving
The Apostle Paul speaks with a sense of relief for the great grace of God upon the Christians in Rome. The ravages of sin in their lives were broken by the power of the gospel. It is truly a matter worthy of thanksgiving.
He must have observed the blessed transformation in the lives of these Christians. When they were willing to follow the instructions of Scripture, they found the strength to live holy lives – being freed from sin, they became servants of righteousness.
