Scott continues the study of Romans, focusing on 6:20 - 7:4, exploring the contrast between living as a slave to sin and living as a slave to God. Scott explains that our former identity, before Christ, was marked by shame, guilt, and a lack of obligation toward righteousness. He discusses how shame first entered humanity after the fall and how, despite attempts to cover or numb it, only God can truly remove shame through grace and the gift of Jesus Christ.

Scott highlights that being united with Christ not only changes our identity but also gives us a new relationship with God. He talks about the difference between displaying spiritual fruit—character shaped by the Holy Spirit—and producing spiritual fruit—outcomes and actions empowered by God’s gifts. Listeners are reminded that their unique gifts and experiences are meant for the common good and should be used to serve others. The episode also emphasizes the assurance found in our transformed identity and relationship with God, calling believers to a life of service, worship, and gratitude.
