In Romans 6, Paul answers one of the most important questions a Christian can ask: Who am I in Christ? Many believers continue to struggle with the weight of their past, allowing old failures, sins, and labels to shape their identity. But Paul presents a different story. Through baptism, believers are united with Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection. The old self has been crucified, sin is no longer the master, a new life has begun.

In This Episode: • Why grace is not a license to continue in sin • The significance of baptism in Romans 6 • What it means to die and rise with Christ • Freedom from sin's dominion • Living out your new identity as God's redeemed people

Scripture: Romans 6:1-14

Welcome to the SimplyRevised Podcast. This is a podcast to encourage, equip grow, and strengthen our faith in the Lord.

During this season, I plan to share lessons with from our Sunday morning series at Southbelt Church of Christ.

In this episode we are starting a 6 week series from Paul's letter to the Romans. Have you ever noticed how many people are searching for something more? We live in a world full of questions about purpose, identity, hope, and truth. People are looking for meaning, looking for direction, and often wondering if there's something bigger than themselves.

Romans, as some have described, could be Paul's greatest letter. It's both challenging, and incredibly relevant because it speaks directly into the kinds of questions people are still asking today. In this first lesson, we are starting where Paul starts, with the gospel — the power of God for salvation. Central to Romans is an announcement. It's the good news that Jesus is Lord.

Who is God?

Before Jesus ever says, "I am the bread of life" or "I am the light of the world," John's Gospel invites us to wrestle with a deeper question. What does it mean for God to say, "I Am"?

In this opening teaching of the series Who Is Jesus? Encountering the Great "I Am" in John's Gospel, we begin in Exodus 3 with Moses before the burning bush. There, God reveals his holy presence, his compassion for suffering people, and his name. "I Am."

By tracing the meaning of God's self-revelation in Exodus, we discover why Jesus' use of "I am" language in John's Gospel is so unsettling and so powerful. Jesus is not merely explaining God. He is identifying himself with the God who spoke from the fire.

At different moments in life, we pause to reflect on how we are being shaped. We think about what is forming us, what is influencing our decisions, and what kind of people we are becoming. Scripture consistently calls God's people to pay attention to formation. As we explore God's Word, we consistently find three practices that have formed the people who follow Jesus. Prayer, Scripture, and Community.

Love is a word often used in our culture. We love our friends, pizza, our families, and we love the Lord. Love can be used in many different ways. What do the Scriptures teach us about God and His love?

We can all use hope. Most of us have lived through seasons marked by anxiety, fear, uncertainty, or loss.

Sometimes those seasons are loud and overwhelming. Other times they are quiet, lingering beneath the

surface. And in moments like that, hope can feel uncertain, thin, or distant.

When the Bible talks about hope, it is not talking about wishful thinking or crossing our fingers. Scripture

speaks of hope as something solid, grounded, and deeply rooted in who God is and what God has done.

When most people talk about peace, they usually mean the absence of conflict. The absence of stress. The absence of noise. Peace becomes the quiet moment after the kids are in bed or the rare evening when the calendar is clear. But biblical peace is something much deeper. It is not simply the absence of noise or conflict. It is God making whole or putting together something that has been broken.

Thanksgiving week has a way of pulling us in two different directions. On one hand, it invites us to slow down, gather around a table, enjoy family, and remember what we are thankful for. On the other hand, it often brings stress, busyness, travel, deadlines, and the race to prepare for the holidays. It is possible to reach Thursday thankful in theory but exhausted in practice.

The Scriptures offer us a better way. They invite us not only to give thanks when things go well, but to cultivate gratitude as a way of life shaped by God's story. Thanksgiving in the Bible is not a seasonal activity. It is an attitude that forms us into people who recognize the presence and provision of God.

What is the Trinity and why is it important? The concept of the Trinity has been challenging for Christians, both in times past as well as today. However, the Trinity or Godhead is foundational to Christian faith.
