How many people here are at school or uni or tafe at the moment?
How good is that feeling of freedom at the end of exams?
The start of the exam week is a dark place to be, but the end feels so good!
When you lecturer or teacher tells you to put down your pen at the end of the exam… it feel so good.
Like you being set free.
Suddenly the world is a brighter place, and filled with possibility.
There is nothing quite like it.
That first few breaths, that first sip of beer, the first song you hear in the car are so much more enjoyable.
I would also like to point out this morning; the sensational job that Josh skinner did of that reading.
All of the “what I want to do, I do not do’s, and don’t do but I want too’s” was quite the tongue twister.
And he smashed it.
The second thing I want to point out is that it twists more than the tongue.
Believe me.
I know that I have never had so much trouble wrapping my mind around a piece of scripture than .
It is complicated and confusing.
is actually the most debated chapter of scripture in the entire bible… My lecturer’s laughed at me when I said what I was preaching on this chapter.
One even said that he would never preach on it... Well if anyone is arrogant enough to think they are better than a lecturer it’s a student.
I’m not sure I’m just more of a man, or more of a fool.
But we are going to step straight into it this morning.
With Prayer for us much divine help as possible.
Yet none compares the to freedom we have in Jesus.
Exam relief is nothing compared to the relief you get from him.
To be free in Jesus better than anything else.
Do you remember that moment when you place your faith in Jesus?
The feeling of relief, and joy that came with it?
The knowledge that everything was going to be ok now, no matter what!
In those moments you were untouchable.
Nothing could bring you down from that high.

Pray
And the very next day you begin the process of living the best life you can for God.
You are going to make him happy.
And you are going to be happy doing it.
You want to make God proud of your life.
You want to take advantage of your freedom.
It might look like getting rid of book and dvds that you know a good Christian wouldn’t have.
You start some good habits, praying and reading you bible.
You vow to only listen to worship music from now on.
The holy life is the life for you.

starts with one main point.
It is found in v4.
This goes well for a few days or weeks.
But things start to change.
The joy is harder to find, and sometimes seems impossible.
You have gotten a little busy to pray and read the bible, so that’s dropped off.
You still attend church though so, you know, that’s good.
Then you do something that you shouldn’t have.
Something that you know doesn’t sit in the grey area of obedience.
You watched porn, you yelled at someone in anger, you stole something small.
Whatever it is, it was something you know you shouldn’t have done.

“you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.”
The guilt and confusion set in.
You have no idea why you did it.
You don’t want to do these things anymore.
You are free, you believe in Jesus.
Questions start to come?
Do I really believe in Jesus?
Did I do salvation wrong?
Am I saved if I’m still doing these things?
Shouldn’t I be free, and joyful?

If you can remember the last few weeks of Romans, Paul has been reminding us of all the transformative benefits of being a Christian.
At the beginning of Romans He made sure that we understood in detail the sinful, and hopeless state of man.
In it reads
I remember those days like they were yesterday.
Because they were.
Every day I do things I shouldn’t, and I think, what they heck Nat.
