Episode Synopsis

What happens after salvation? Romans 6 answers with stunning clarity. In this message—“Buried with Christ. Raised to New Life”—we celebrate baptism and unpack Paul’s call to live the resurrected life now. Framed by Charles Colson’s prison-yard conversion and lifelong ministry, we see that the gospel doesn’t merely forgive sins; it transforms sinners.Paul gives a three-step pattern for sanctification:Know your new identity—your old self was crucified with Christ.Consider (reckon) it true—count on God’s finished work, not your feelings.Surrender—present your whole life to God as instruments of righteousness.Walk in the freedom of grace: not freedom to sin, but freedom from sin (Rom. 6:22–23). This is practical holiness, joyful obedience, and real hope for everyday life.
