You are going to serve someone or something. The question is: who or what is it? If you are in Christ, you get to decide if you will walk in according to the old man of sin, or if you walk in the ways of Christ. If we try to live in our own strength, we will certainly fail. It's not enough to just hate sin; we must love Jesus instead. We will continually be fighting sin, but He must be our chief j...

Sometimes we have a problem making the proper connection between "do" and "done." We often have a disconnect between knowing the good news of the Gospel and knowing how it actually changes our life. Our eternal state in the Kingdom of God depends on our being unified with Jesus and being raised up with Him in His resurrection. After Adam and Eve sinned, we became unable to not sin. But if our life...

As you move from one country to another, you will be expected to change a lot of the ways in which you live your life. Similarly, when we become a Christian, we have a new King, which means that we are blessed to walk in the newness of life. When we die to sin, we are brought into the Kingdom of Christ, and baptism is a sign that we have been brought into this Kingdom. And now, through the power o...

Paul uses a compare-and-contrast format here in this passage: Adam and death on the one hand, and Jesus and righteousness on the other.

All we have to do is receive this gift; we can never earn Christ's favor by our own works....
