INTRODUCTION:
Calvin Coolidge attended church alone because of the sickness of Mrs. Coolidge.
Are you a believer who struggles to find the new life promised in Christ?
When he arrived back home he went up to his wife’s room to see how she was feeling.
She promptly reassured him, and asked him if he had enjoyed the sermon.
He replied in a weak affirmative.
Last week, we talked about why our grace filled lives should lead us to a transformed life through Christ.
But, for many of us - that was a hard message.
Because I don’t feel like I have a new life.
Our text this morning continues teaching us we have a new life, but begins to turn to how to live that new life.
“What was it about?”
she continued.
Does quicksand fascinate you?
ILLUSTRATION:
“Sin.”
“What did the minister say?”
As a kid, I was
Does quicksand fascinate you?
“He was against it.”
As a kid, I was always fascinated by Quicksand.
As a kid, I was always fascinated by Quicksand.
Sometimes, we as Pastors are quick to preach against sin, but slow to offer any help.
The idea that you could fall in a mud puddle and it would suck you in always fascinated me.
I remember playing with my brother in our back yard,
The idea that you could fall in and get trapped in a huge puddle of mud always facinated me.
pretending we were trapped in quick sand.
I remember playing with my brother in our back yard, pretending we were trapped in quick sand.
We are spread out going … I don’t want die.
Pulling at each other… pretending to escape this pit of quicksand.
There is actually a river in CA which is Spanish in name meaning - get out of it, if you can.
So named that – because of quick sand.
Our sin is a lot like quicksand –
It’s Muddy, it’s ugly, and it's disgusting.
It is not only muddy and ugly and disgusting – but it's really hard to get out of.
Last week we talked about the wonderful truth
Last week we talked about the wonderful truth
– that I am dead to my old sin nature and now can walk in newness of life.
For some of us, that truth may seem out of touch with reality.
- I don't feel like I have a new life, because I still struggle with sin.
- Because sin sometimes conquers me more than I conquer it.
- For a sin nature that is supposedly dead,
I sure struggle with the temptation and passion of sin.
- For someone who now has a new life,
I still feel like I am crawling out of the quicksand of my old life
every inch being pulled back down by my sin nature.
Are you a believer who struggles to find the new life promised in Christ?
Our text this morning continues teaching us we have a new life, but begins to turn to how to live that new life.
But, for many of us - that was a hard message.
Because I don’t feel like I have a new life.
I feel like I am constantly fighting to get out of the whole of my sin nature.
Our text this morning continues teaching us we have a new life, but begins to turn to how to live that new life.
From our passage, and really the theme of much of Chapter 6 and 7 -
PROP: Grace Should Lead Us to a New Life.
TRANS: and Paul is going to give us 4 ways for how to have a new life found in Christ.
Are you looking for help?
Do you want to know how to grab hold of the new life that you have in Christ?
This morning and in the next few weeks Paul will challenge us for how to have a new life in Christ.
The first way we grab hold of our new live - is we
1) Choose to Live Under the Reign of Christ.
()
1) Exclusively Live Under the Reign of Christ.
(9-11)
The first step of almost anything is to make a choice.
You want to be
You want to be an engineer, a soldier, a teacher, a contractor who builds houses,… And you must choose to learn that trade.
an engineer,
a soldier,
a teacher,
a contractor who builds houses,
… And you must choose to learn that trade.
Even something is non-technical as being a waitress has a certain amount of learning...
>>> Learning to be a good host, learning the menu, learning what coupons you can offer.
Many of you started out in this trade or that trade and you didn't just wake up one morning and say I'm going to be X.
You made a choice and that choice was a bath with a resolve to learn whatever you had to learn to be that trade.
You made a choice and that choice was a bath with a resolve to learn whatever you had to learn to be that trade.
There is a day you can remember, when you said I choose to be this and whatever it takes to do that I am going to do it.
Our text is going to call us to make a choice here.
In fact were commanded to consider or choose in v. 11.
In fact were commanded to consider or choose in v. 11.
Look at what we are called to choose.
Rom 6:
Our text teaches us -
a. Christ conquered death, once and for all time mastering sin and death.
(v.
9-10)
a. Christ conquered death, once and for all time mastering sin and death.
(v.
9)
We have to understand the connection here.
- linked sin and death together.
linked sin and death together.
So when we text talks about Christ conquering death,
then we are also talking about Christ conquering sin.
They are one and the same.
He conquered sin in general and conquered our particular sin by canceling our record of debt.
(-25)
>>> And That is demonstrated by his conquering death and being raised from the dead.
And that is demonstrated by his conquering death and being raised from the dead.
We know Christ did this, because he conquered death.
- He was raised us from the dead.
He has dominion over it>>>>>
Death and sin is no longer the slave master,
Christ is the slave master of death and sin.
- and this Culminates in a once for all, everlasting change.
Death and sin now bow to the authority of Jesus.
