Sermon by Dr. David Rountree on 9/29/19 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC.

Scripture Passage: Romans 6:15-23

Outline:

Does anyone really know what a slave of righteousness is?

Romans 6:1-14 = free from the power of sin

Romans 6:15-23 = free from the practice of sin

Everyone is a slave

Slavery Before conversion to Christ—enslaved to sin (v.16-23)

Slavery After conversion to Christ—enslaved to God (v.16-23)

Benefits of a slave to righteousness (just a few that come to mind):

1. We avoid those things for which we are ashamed (sin).

2. We avoid wasting time. No time serving God is wasted.

3. We bring delight and not burden to our spiritual leaders.

4. We cultivate and experience every fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

5. We become the delight of the saints of God as those who edify the church, even a blessing to our family and friends.

6. We lay up treasures in heaven for which there is lasting reward.

7. We become qualified with good reputation for all manner of spiritual endeavors both temporal and eternal.

8. We trade all temporary pleasures for those that last, eternal joy and the smile of God.

9. We shine light on the character and glory of Jesus for the world to see.

10. We gain the listening hear of the Master when we pray.

11. We gain a clear and wonderful identity and wholehearted love for God and man.

Considerations for Action

1. Is it possible to be free of sin and still live as if we were enslaved?

2. Is it possible to be enslaved to sin and yet still think we are free?
