Slaves to Righteousness

This fifteenth message from Romans further explains God's expectations for each believer. Some were thinking that they had a LICENSE to sin once in a while - their excuse was that they were being unrestrained by the law and generously favored with God's undeserved grace. But Paul's explanation made it self-evident that slavery is voluntary - we are self-employed to our master - we choose either sin or salvation. These believers in Rome had chosen LIBERTY in Christ. Their new position was one of submission to the gospel and subjection to righteousness. Their new practice freed them from the old man to the new man. And their new product was no longer death, but had become eternal life.
