Romans 6:11-14

Tom Shrader walks through Romans 6:11-14, emphasizing that because believers are united with Christ and dead to sin, they are no longer under sin's mastery or the law's condemnation. Drawing on paraphrases, cross-references in Ephesians and Titus, and the pivotal call of Romans 12:1-2, he urges the church to present their bodies to God as a living sacrifice, which is the only logical response to His mercy. The message closes with a powerful illustration from a memorial service, where a letter written by a man transformed by Christ in prison gave a vivid picture of what a genuinely renewed mind and life look like. “Sin has been dethroned and replaced by Jesus. Don't let this sin reign in your body anymore — and He wouldn't tell you to do it if you didn't have the power to do it.” — Tom Shrader Series: Romans Recorded in 2013 Duration: 39 min Themes: freedom from sin, surrender, renewal, living sacrifice, grace, transformation, obedience, identity in christ, struggling with sin, new believer, feeling trapped by habits, seeking renewal, recovering from addiction, young adult, doubting your salvation, husband Topics: sanctification, union with christ, Romans 6, imputation, dying to sin, regeneration, becoming holy, law and grace Scripture: Romans 6:3, Romans 6:6, Romans 6:8, Romans 6:9, Romans 6:11-14, Romans 6:12, Romans 6:13, Romans 11:33, Romans 11:36, Romans 12:1-2, Romans 5:6, Romans 5:8, Romans 5:10, Ephesians 1:3-13, Ephesians 2:1-4, Titus 3:3-7, 1 Corinthians 10:13, 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Corinthians 13, 2 Corinthians 5:14, James 1:13-15, 1 John 2:16 — About Priority Living AZ — Priority Living AZ preserves the teaching legacy of Tom Shrader.
