## Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Reading of Romans 6:1-11
### Tradition-Specific Interpretation
We read Romans 6:1-11 as a profound exposition of our union with Christ in both his death and resurrection. This passage, within the redemptive-historical context, highlights the transformative power of sovereign grace. It declares that through God's decree, those who are in Christ have died to sin and are now alive to God in Christ Jesus. This is not a mere moral exhortation but the outworking of the covenant of grace, where we are assured of our new identity in Christ, sealed by the Spirit.
