Jesus at 2AM - A Humorous, Intelligent Look at the Bible, Church History & the Life of Faith
Religion & Spirituality:Spirituality
So often we imagine that the road to holiness is marked out by the Law; that God's moral command is the key to reducing sin and increasing love in our lives. And thus our tendency to return to piety and legalism as strategies for intimacy with God.
But, as Paul has already argued, the Law is powerless to accomplish this purpose!
In this episode we examine Paul's exhortation for Christians to regard themselves as dead to sin, and why such regard is the only way to holiness.
The biblical passage referenced in this sermon is:
