“Killing sin” can sound terrifying and overwhelming. Do we do this alone? What does God “expect” from us? Romans 8 reminds us that we do not fight for victory, but from victory.

What does it mean to “live in the Spirit?” Is it a mystical thing that we feel day-to-day? Romans 8 shows us that this is a reality tightly connected to the truths of the gospel.

Though the power and penalty of sin have been defeated through the death and resurrection of Christ, the presence of sin remains. We war within. We fail and struggle. How do we make sense of being forgiven, but still sinners?

Being dead to sin sounds great, but what about “dying to the law?” How does our union with Christ shape our relationship to God’s Law?

The gospel always brings objections. The news seems too good to be true. Today’s objection, “do we continue in sin because we are not under the law, but under grace?”

Two gardens, two representatives, two very different outcomes. How Adam and Jesus relate to one another and us as we consider our sin, God’s righteousness, and justification by faith.

The good news of the gospel is not “ivory tower” theology meant to remain in the classroom or on the bookshelf. Justification by grace and through faith brings us deeply practical ramifications for everyday life.

God has been a God of promise all along. The Apostle Paul reminds us of this great truth through the example of Abraham.

“Sola Fide” means “Faith Alone.” The word “faith” can conjure up all sorts of ideas. Does faith=obedience? Is God a God of “second chances?” Who is the gospel for?
