Romans 6:15-23

This sermon explores Romans 6:15-23, examining the transformative nature of salvation and the believer's position in Christ. The pastor emphasizes that all people are slaves—either to sin leading to death or to righteousness leading to holiness and eternal life. Using the cultural context of Roman slavery, the message illustrates how believers are called to present themselves to righteousness rather than sin. The sermon stresses that while Christians are no longer under the law, they are not lawless; God's moral standards remain. Through practical illustrations about addiction, Bible reading, and spiritual disciplines, the pastor demonstrates how yielding to righteousness is a gradual process that shapes both our present life and eternal future. The message culminates with the contrast between wages (death earned by sin) and gift (eternal life freely given through Christ).
