There are many things in life that often makes it difficult for us to live a righteous life in Christ. Living a righteous life requires that we make a daily choice to live for Christ. This does not mean that we will never stumble in our efforts to live a righteous life, but it means doing all we can to fight the good fight of faith and to stay in the Christian race. In Roman 6:1, Paul asks an especially important question. He asks, "What shall we say then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? He answers with an emphatic NO. He says, "God forbid.” He goes on to let us know that if we have died to sin, then we should not be living in sin. We should strive daily to pursue righteousness as we journey down the pathway of living in a physical world in a physical body.
