God’s Free Gift
Romans 6:15 (ESV)
15a What then?
Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace?
Romans 6:2 (ESV)
2a By no means!
Romans 6:15 (ESV)
15b By no means!
If we are going to really understand what Paul is saying here we need to put it in today’s Terms.
We don’t really have a grasp of the slave system that was in place when this letter was written so I am going to put it in terms that we can understand.
Paul is talking about a choice between two employers.
He very different job opportunities.
So today we are going to weigh the options.
Pros and Cons
1. Look Who’s in Charge
Romans 6:23 (ESV)
23a For the wages of sin is death,
Master #1 offers death, pain, brokenness, desperation...........
The reality here is this master seems easier to follow than the other master.
Master#2 Offers Life and a Promising Future
Master #1 Comes to Kill, Steal, and Destroy
Master #2 Comes to Bring Life and Life that is abundant.
The Master I choose Really determines the outcomes I see in my life.
The understanding that I have had to come too is at times I go back to my old employer and the only way I know where I am at is by carefully inspecting the fruit in my life.
2. Look at the Benefit Package
The Wages Sin pays wear us out.
Sin pays the wages we deserve.
God pays in wages of abundance.
3. Look at the Retirement Plan
Option 1: Physical, Spiritual, Eternal Death
Romans 6:23 (ESV)
23a For the wages of sin is death,
Option 2: Spiritual and Eternal Life
If I know Jesus and I have accepted his free Gift than I can trust in the future he promises.
Why did he do it!
Which life opportunity have you been choosing.
What fruit are you producing.
What steps are you going to choose this week to terminate your previous master.
