6th November
The Christ Powered Life
Romans 6:12 - 23
Slaves to Righteousness
If you have given yourself to Christ, you are justified. But living a sin free life is impossible.
Roman Slavery - many different ways a person could become one.
We are no longer slaves to sin, but to righteousness
We're all enslaved to something.
Sin - an illegitimate way of fulfilling a legitimate need.
Vs 13
We have the ability to offer ourselves to God. We can be open to Him.
You are slaves to the one you obey.
1 John 2:1

We need to align our minds to God so that our thinking becomes more like His.

"Death" vs "Eternal Life"
We need to order our lives as slaves to righteousness. We need to prioritise Christ in our lives.
