If it's god who justifies, who can bring a charge right? Nobody. The point being, we are not slaves to sin.
Ever wondered what it truly means to live a life guided by the Spirit rather than being bogged down by the letter of the law? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson dives into Romans chapters 5 through 8, offering a fresh perspective on what the normal Christian life should look like. This isn't just a theological discussion; it's a practical guide to living out your faith every day.
Peterson starts by exploring Paul's explanation of Abraham's promise, highlighting that it was rooted in faith, not in his own righteousness or abilities. This sets the stage for understanding salvation as an ongoing experience rather than a one-time event. He then tackles the ever-present conflict between sin and death in our hearts and minds, emphasizing the importance of walking in the Spirit.
Forget about constantly battling sin under the law; Peterson explains that true Christian living is about embracing the power of Christ's resurrected life. Throughout the episode, he contrasts the old way of living under the law with the new way of life given by the Spirit. One of the most compelling points is how the Spirit testifies with our spirit, affirming that we are indeed God's children.
By the end of the episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how to live free from the law of sin and death, empowered by the Spirit who gives life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to deepen their faith and find practical ways to live it out daily.
