Romans 6:10
Arabic Bible AVD 1999 (الكتاب المقدس)
لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَوْتَ ٱلَّذِي مَاتَهُ قَدْ مَاتَهُ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، وَٱلْحَيَاةُ ٱلَّتِي يَحْيَاهَا فَيَحْيَاهَا لِلهِ.
What Does This Mean?
This verse means that Jesus died once for our sins and now he lives to please God alone. It's from the book of Romans, written by Paul to explain how we can live a new life in Christ.
Explained for Children
Imagine you did something wrong and got punished just once. Now, after your punishment, you try really hard every day not to do that bad thing again because you learned your lesson. That's like what Jesus did for us—He took the punishment once so He could live a perfect life for God afterwards.
Historical Background
Paul wrote this letter in about AD 57 to encourage and guide Christians in Rome who were facing various challenges from both within their community and from outsiders. The cultural setting was complex, with Romans combining paganism and Greco-Roman philosophies.
Living It Out Today
A practical way to apply this verse might be when you're trying to overcome a habit that's been holding you back. Just as Jesus died once for our sins, you can choose one day to let go of your old habits and then live every day with the goal of pleasing God instead of yourself.
