With Great Freedom Comes Great Responsibility
Series: Romans
In Romans 6, Paul helps us to see what Christians should do with the sin in their lives. He gives us 8 things to remember.
Remember that you have died to sin; remember that you are united with Christ, in both His death and in His resurrection; remember that you have been set free from slavery to sin; remember that because you have died with Christ, you will also live with Christ; remember to constantly reflect on this truth; remember not to let sin rule your body; and remember that you live under God’s grace.
Sin’s power is broken when we believe in Jesus.
Romans 6:1-14

But (spoiler alert), the good news yet to come is that – confirmed sinners can be saved by Christ.We can’t save ourselves from the consequences of sin, but, Christ can!Romans 3:9-20July 18, 2021To watch the video of this message, click here.
