Episode Synopsis

Scott continues the study of Romans by looking at the purpose of the Law in Scripture, drawing out how it highlights the depth of human sin and our need for grace. Through practical examples and biblical teaching, he explains Paul’s arguments about law, sin, and the super-abundance of God’s grace. The episode covers how baptism symbolizes believers’ union with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection, and what it means for day-to-day Christian living—pressing on toward a deeper knowledge and relationship with Christ. Scott wraps up with encouragement for listeners to focus on knowing Christ and living in the freedom and righteousness made possible through Him.Together, we'll journey through the latter part of Romans 5 and the opening of Romans 6, exploring foundational questions like: What is the true purpose of the law? Why does grace increase where sin increases, and does that mean we should keep on sinning? Scott unpacks these rich themes, emphasizing that doctrine isn’t just about head knowledge, but about knowing the very character and nature of God.Scott also reveals the depth of our brokenness and how the super-abundance of God's grace, realized in Jesus Christ, sets us free and calls us into new life. He also reminds us that though we may struggle and feel the tug of our old selves, our true identity is found in being united with Christ—dead to sin, alive in Him, and forever secure in His love.Download the Insight Sheets Here:Insight Sheet Blank - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JcFAOkLkOAtVkfn623vvPVdU3TRj7bS7/view?usp=sharingInsight Sheet With Answers:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E6KGpsGdW_Xcmpc6y14l5lJrM_GN13Vz/view?usp=sharingKey Topics Discussed:Experiencing God’s truth during everyday challengesThe role and purpose of the Law in the BibleHow the Law magnifies the reality of sinThe super-abundant nature of God’s graceThe difference between the reign of sin and the reign of graceThe meaning and symbolism of Christian baptismWhat it means to be united with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrectionLiving with a new identity and freedom from sinThe ongoing struggle between the old and new selfEncouragement to seek a deeper relationship with Christ and live in his power
