The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

You will never be deader to sin than you are right now.

Let that sink in. That’s the radical, powerful message Romans 6 has to offer you. Jesus died to sin “once for all,” and He took you with Him into His death, burial, and resurrection. Now, you’re alive to God, and you can afford to be under His grace. Why? Because you don’t really desire to sin any longer!

There’s nothing better than the liberating atmosphere of God’s grace to help you realize what you really want. Check out this message to learn why!
