He uses the example of Abraham, who was saved by faith, not by circumcision or other rituals. He also warns against the religion of human achievement, which tries to earn favor with God through good works, and encourages listeners to be free from the burden of trying to be perfect.

Know...Consider...Present (Romans 6:6-13)

The believer's struggle with sin is a battle of the mind, and thinking correctly is the foundation for living correctly.

You Were There! (Romans 6:3-5)

As believers, we died to the dominion of sin through Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, and we have been raised to walk in newness of life, free from the kingdom of darkness and sin. This new life is not just a new leaf, but a new dynamic for living, with a new identity, destiny, master, purpose, heart, spirit, and battles. We are no longer bound by sin, but liberated by our Savior, and we live by faith in the Son of God who loved us and gave himself for us. [... more]

Fleeing from Enemies

Christian sanctification is the pursuit of Christ-likeness, achieved through a deep understanding of Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Effective church leadership and spiritual growth require a focus on Christ-likeness and a commitment to following the examples of godly leaders, while avoiding the enemies of the cross of Christ.

The key to this is remembering what happened to us in Christ, who we are as believers, and where we belong in the kingdom of God. [... more]
