Freedom from Sin: Romans 6 and Virtue Ethics

from Lutheran Reflections · host William Green, Rev. Bryan King

In this episode, we look at Romans 6:12-23 where Paul tells us, "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions." In what sense does sin often have dominion over us? If Christians must still obey the law, how is it that Paul says, "you are not under law but under grace"? We conclude with insights from Phillip Melanchthon on how the law is abrogated in terms of justification, but not obedience.
