The following are some bullet points contained in the sermon! Enjoy!
-
No man is captain of his own destiny.
-
We are all under the power of something.
-
Romans 6:16 says that as humans we are either slaves to sin or slaves to righteousness.
-
In the Garden of Eden, when Eve chose to eat the fruit she chose disobedience to God and obedience to sin.
-
Since then, every human being has been born into the slavery of sin. Sin leads to death and separation.
-
It affects all areas of your life, including your relationships.
-
But the good news of the Gospel is that we can now choose to present ourselves slaves to God.
-
When you commit your life to Christ and believe that He took the penalty of sin for you, you become a child of God, or as Paul calls it, a slave to righteousness.
-
What does that mean?
-
It means sin is no longer your boss or master.
-
As believers, we are free to live by faith.
-
And true faith results in obedience to God and His Word.
-
Galatians 2:20 says, “I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who love me and gave Himself for me.”
-
When Paul says we are free from sin, it doesn’t mean we no longer commit acts of sin, but the dominating power of sin has been broken.
-
If we lived as hard for God as we lived for our flesh, this world would be changed.
