Beholding Bible Truth

Romans 5:20-6:7 (#20.2025.05.04)


Listen Later

Scott continues the study of Romans by looking at the purpose of the Law in Scripture, drawing out how it highlights the depth of human sin and our need for grace. Through practical examples and biblical teaching, he explains Paul’s arguments about law, sin, and the super-abundance of God’s grace. The episode covers how baptism symbolizes believers’ union with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection, and what it means for day-to-day Christian living—pressing on toward a deeper knowledge and relationship with Christ. Scott wraps up with encouragement for listeners to focus on knowing Christ and living in the freedom and righteousness made possible through Him.

Together, we'll journey through the latter part of Romans 5 and the opening of Romans 6, exploring foundational questions like: What is the true purpose of the law? Why does grace increase where sin increases, and does that mean we should keep on sinning? Scott unpacks these rich themes, emphasizing that doctrine isn’t just about head knowledge, but about knowing the very character and nature of God.

Scott also reveals the depth of our brokenness and how the super-abundance of God's grace, realized in Jesus Christ, sets us free and calls us into new life. He also reminds us that though we may struggle and feel the tug of our old selves, our true identity is found in being united with Christ—dead to sin, alive in Him, and forever secure in His love.
