In this episode of Beholding Bible Truth, guest Scott Keffer leads listeners through Romans 6, focusing on the ongoing struggle between the power of sin and the new life offered in Christ. Scott shares personal experiences about the challenge of accepting authority and submission, drawing parallels between American cultural values of independence and the biblical concept of Christ as King. This sets the stage for an exploration of what it means for believers to be "dead to sin but alive to God."

Scott unpacks the reality that while believers are freed from sin's penalty and ultimate reign, the power of sin still seeks to influence their daily lives. He discusses the deceptive and progressive nature of sin, the importance of understanding Christ’s sacrificial work, and the ongoing need for confession and reliance on God’s grace. Scott also emphasizes the role of God's Spirit and Word in overcoming temptation and the necessity of surrendering oneself fully to God for true rest and victory over sin.
