Who am I Following? . Romans 6:15-23 . August 3rd, 2019

"Who Am I Following?"

Will Vallely . August 3rd, 2019

"No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." - Jesus (Luke 16:13, ESV)

Our study of Romans turns to the back portion of Romans 6.  The question of who or what are we following takes front and center and Will challenges us to see the magnitude of sin and how it can master us over God. 

The service opened with a quick video that made an outstanding point about the pace of our "walk" with God.  If you missed all or a portion of it, or simply want to view it again, here it is!!!

Romans 6:15-23 (ESV)

Slaves to Righteousness

15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves,[fn]you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
