Free Slavery - Romans 6:14-23
14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1.What are some "rules," expectations, or authorities (even seemingly minor ones) that you find yourself resisting or wanting to bend, and what drives that resistance?
2.Sin makes a deceptive offer of freedom and satisfaction, but it's a lie. Can you share an experience where something you pursued, thinking it would bring freedom or satisfaction, ultimately led to the opposite (the "wages of sin")?
3.Do you have a story about a time when you make a hard, righteous decision that led to deep satisfaction?
4.Do you ever find yourself trying “autonomous morality” to avoid slavery? How does it work or impact you?
5.Is there any place in your life now or in the past where you were unconsciously relying on cheap grace?
6.What makes Jesus a master worth following? Are there any ways in your life in 2026 you hope to follow him more closely?
