It is very difficult to solve a problem when you don’t know what’s wrong to begin with
We are all born into Adam
Through Adam, sin entered the world
Sin a noun (not just a verb)
Through Adam, sin entered the world
Sin a noun (not just a verb)
When Adam sinned, it was as if all of us sinned
Romans 7:24 What a wretched man I am!
“WHAT” cannot rescue you
“WHO” rescues you
“WHO” rescues you
The solution is a person
Romans 7:25 Thanks be to God who delivers me THROUGH Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 7:25 Thanks be to God who delivers me THROUGH Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:19:
The death of Jesus frees you from the power of sin over your life
The death of Jesus frees you from the power of sin over your life
Romans 6:2 We are those who have died to sin;
Romans 6:2 how can we live in it any longer?
Romans 6:2 how can we live in it any longer?
Romans 6:3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
Baptized: To put something IN something. To immerse IN something
Baptized: To put something IN something. To immerse IN something
Taken out of Adam and placed into Christ
What is true of Jesus is now true of you
What is true of Jesus is now true of you
All the benefits of Christ’s death and resurrection apply to us because we are in Him
Benefits apply in THIS life
Benefits apply in THIS life
Sin LOST its power over you
Romans 6:7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
You are FREE from the power of sin
You are FREE from the power of sin
Romans 6:10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all
Romans 6:10 but the life he lives, he lives to God.
Romans 6:10 but the life he lives, he lives to God.
Sin no longer controls you
“Sin is not my master”
When it comes to your daily life, sin lost its authority over you
“Sin is not my master. I’m dead to sin, but I’m alive to God.”
