Romans 6:15-23 | Called to Good Slavery | Jared Lyda

In Romans 6:15–23, Paul shuts down the idea that “under grace” means “go ahead and sin,” and he presses the uncomfortable truth: everyone serves somebody. The question isn’t whether you’ll have a master—it’s which master you’ll obey. This message exposes the false freedom of autonomy, calls you to present your life to Christ, and shows why “good slavery” is the path to real freedom, real change, and eternal life.In this sermon, you’ll learn1. Why “not under law but under grace” is not permission to sin—and how Paul answers the objection with: you become a slave of whatever you obey.2. How to identify your real master by asking: what do you obey when no one’s watching?—your appetites, comfort, work, money, approval…or Christ.3. What it means to be “obedient from the heart” to a “standard of teaching”—and why that phrase matters.4. Why sanctification isn’t passive—and how “present your members” becomes a daily strategy for breaking old ruts.5. How to evaluate sin and righteousness by their “fruit,” and why Paul ends with the stark contrast: wages vs. gift.Support our mission and learn more atwww.alloflife.churchGive to the work of the gospel herewww.alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving
