Liberation

Christ’s finished work has liberated those that believe in him, removing condemnation and giving a new mindset of life and peace. Romans 8:1-8.

Go further:

1. What keeps us from living a Spirit-minded life if there is no condemnation for us?

2. How would running the race of life with others help you live this life?

The Law-Empowered Life

In a very hot and sweaty auditorium, we studied Romans 7. Paul communicates that the Law, while good, is powerless to deliver what it demands. We need something more, something we get in Christ and through the Spirit. The Law-Empowered Life is actually no life at all.

Go further:

1. Why are we incapable of living up to the law?

2. What are the positive ways the law works in your life?

Enslaved

We are slaves to what we obey and that is either sin or righteousness. For the believer, we have died to sin and now grace empowers us to obey God, living a life of freedom. Romans 6:15-23.

Identified

Kicking off our next Romans series (Daily Struggle, the Victorious Life) we look at being identified with Christ in Romans 6:1-14. Those identified with Christ are no longer slaves to sin but free to live new lives empowered by grace.
