Part 1: Sin, Death, and Satan
Central Truth
Jesus set us free from sin, death, and Satan
#1...
The Source of Human Evil
Being a slave to sin means you were controlled by sin.
Controlled by your desires and lusts.
Controlled by you pride and arrogance.
Controlled by Hatred and Jealousy.
The Source of Human Evil is...
Satan
Sin
Human Slavery to Satan and Sin
True righteousness was impossible for us...
No matter how hard we try to be good and righteous on our own we will never actually be good and righteous.
My personal attempts at being good and righteous in order to be seen as good and righteous by God are actually marks of evil.

Sin, Satan, and Slavery

The Penalty For Human Evil
Fruit is something a plant or tree produces.
Paul is comparing us to a plant produces.
Think of digesting a poisoned apple?
Anyone seen Snow White?
She went to sleep.
But fully ingesting our fruit is death.
This is the penalty for sin.
This is the penalty for being a slave to Satan.
Death.
Not just physical death.
That is a marker or pointer to the real death.
The real death it speaks of is something all non Christians currently live in and will eventually experience the full result of...
Spiritual Death
The Penalty for Human Evil:
Spiritual and Eternal Death
#3...
The Solution for Human Evil
Romans 6:22 (ESV)
22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God...
We needed someone to set us free!
Emancipation!
We couldn’t do anything...
Jesus had to do everything!
Jesus’ death on the cross was your purchase back to God.
Jesus’ death on the cross defused sin’s power over us.
Jesus’ death on the cross dethroned Satan’s rule over us.
Jesus’ death on the cross removed deaths stinger from us.
The Solution for Human Evil
Jesus’ death on the cross

The Opposite of Human Evil
This is where we live now.
This is also where we are heading.
The fruit of being a slave to God is becoming more and more like him.
The final destination of becoming more and more like God is Eternal life.
This is all God’s work!
Jesus, God the Son, is at the center of our Sanctification.
Sanctification means becoming more and more like Jesus in every way.
The Opposite of Human Evil
Being remade to look like Jesus
