Time Well Spent with Cornelius F. Warren featuring Elder Sam Fisher

While the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, recount the life of Jesus Christ, the book of Romans explores the significance of His sacrificial death. As such, it has been called “the gospel according to Paul.” In a question and answer format, Romans is the most systematic presentation of doctrine in the Bible. But the Good News is more than theology pondered; it is a life to be lived – a life of righteousness, befitting one whom God declares, “not guilty” of offending Him if we trust in Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Cornelius F. Warren and Elder S.E. Fisher, Sr. in this powerful time of biblical teaching. Tonight we look at Romans 6: 15-18. Unbelievers mistakenly think that they are free when they cast off God and follow their own lusts, but they are “slaves of corruption” (2 Peter 2: 19). God has freed us from sin: “and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness” (in verse 18), but not to live as we please. Rather, He frees us from sin to make us “slaves of righteousness.” 

So the choice is not, Should I give up my freedom so that I can submit to God? Rather, it is, Should I serve sin or should I serve God? Paul is telling us:

Either you are a slave of sin, resulting in death, or you are a slave of obedience, resulting in righteousness.
