Episode Synopsis
In Romans 6 Paul brings us back again to talk about the dangers of our sin if it goes unchecked. But he also gives us a solution for how to deal with this problem. Continuing his logical progression for why faith is justified, Paul challenges the believers to question why if they say they are Christ's and have been saved by him they keep on sinning? This is a relevant question for us and Paul convinces us to love Christ more than the sin.In shaping our thinking Paul wants us to see the merit and value of union with Christ. Christ is not distant from us, rather is becomes part of us, an engrafting, as we trust in him for our salvation. Paul wants believers to keep their sin in check and says clearly that we cannot live in two worlds: a world of sin and a world of grace. We can only live by grace if we desire to know God and his goodness.But this grace is not to be abused and tested by how much we can sin and thereby allow God to demonstrate his great grace. If we are in Christ sinning should be expelled from us and we look to Christ and live for him.Romans - The heart of the Gospel is a teaching series from Annalong Presbyterian Church.
