About this listen
Paul has established that the believer is dead to sin and alive to God. Now he gets intensely practical. What do you actually do with that truth every day?
The answer comes in the form of a choice — and Paul frames it as the most fundamental choice a human being can make. Whatever you present yourself to, you become a slave to. Present yourself to sin and sin masters you. Present yourself to God and righteousness begins to shape everything you are.
In this episode, Pastor Randy Johnson works through Romans 6:8-23, unpacking what it means to actively present your members as instruments of righteousness rather than instruments of sin. This isn't about earning favor with God — justification is already settled. This is about which master you choose to serve with the freedom Christ has given you.
Paul closes with one of the most quoted contrasts in all of Scripture. The wages of sin is death. The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. One is what you earn. The other is what you receive.
The difference between those two words — wages and gift — is the difference between two entirely different ways of relating to God.
