Episode Synopsis

The Big Idea: Freedom from sin is a birthright for ChristiansRomans 6:1-23Two Logic Questions:1. Since grace abounds, can’t we just go on sinning?LEGALISM is not the answer to LIBERTINISM.PAUL TEACHES A BETTER WAY: Radical TRANSFORMATION IN CHRIST, through THESPIRIT.2. Can those who DIED TO SIN, continue to live in it?Clarity for the Confusion Comes From 3 Ideas:1. Baptism2. Crucifixion3. SlaveryBaptism:● We are BAPTIZED into HIS DEATH.● We are buried with Him into death SO THAT body ruled by sin would be done awaywith.○ (Life IN SIN cannot coexist with death TO SIN.)● We too, along with Him, can be raised to LIVE A NEW LIFE.1 Corinthians 10:1-3Colossians 2:9-15Crucifixion:Galatians 2:20Galatians 6:14Jesus’ death to sin is the FINAL VICTORY.There is NO SECOND FIGHT and there is NO SECOND FOE.Slavery:There are two ways to leave a slave master: death or being sold to a new master.We are not only justified from our sin, but are also LIBERATED from the tyranny of sin.Obedience to God is slavery, for you are a slave to the one you obey.Response:● Embrace your BAPTISM INTO CHRIST.● Continually CRUCIFY SELF-LOVE and cling to GOD LOVE.● Offer yourself as a SLAVE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS. (being right with God) leading toholiness for slavery has benefits.
