Who's Your Master

Romans 6:15–23 NASB95

15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. 22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Notes:

Point #1 - No one is free from a MASTER. You are either a slave to SIN or a slave to GOD

Who’s your MASTER

Matthew 6:24 NASB95

24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

Colossians 1:13 NASB95

13 For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,

Point #2 – While you were still a slave to sin, YOU made a decision to obey the gospel and the teachings of Christ, at which point GOD freed you from sin and made you a slave of righteousness. 

Have you GIVEN yourself to God as much as you GIVEN  yourself to SIN? 

Philippians 3:13–16 NASB95

13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; 16 however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained.

Point #3 – The PAYOUT of sin is SHAME and death. Obedience leads to holiness and the free gift of eternal life. 

What is the DESTINATION of the PATH you’re currently on? Is it taking you where you want to go?
