Romans 6

I need to be a little careful in saying this, but of those that believe that all they have to do is accept Jesus as their Savior to be saved, have not read or do not understanding the teachings of Paul to the Romans. I am amazed as I read Paul's counsel that this belief couldn't be father from what was taught by Paul. In teaching that we are saved by the grace of Jesus Christ, he then asks -

"WHAT shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" (New Testament | Romans 6:1 - 2)

In other words, God forbid that we continue a life of sin, but should live a life of obedience and righteousness. If all that is required than accept the atonement of Jesus Christ, then why would we teach to avoid sin? The very doctrine and saving ordinance of baptism is -

"...so we also should walk in newness of life." (New Testament | Romans 6:4)

...striving to be more like the Savior. In baptism we covenanat to be -

"...willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him, and keep his commandments which he hath given them, that they may always have his Spirit to be with them." (Book of Mormon | Moroni 4:3)

Paul continues his teaching -

"Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members (being parts of the body) as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God." (New Testament | Romans 6:12 - 13)

Why would Paul give such an instruction if it had no bearing on salvation?

"Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness." (New Testament | Romans 6:18)

In summary, Paul makes it clear -

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (New Testament | Romans 6:23)
