Pastor Brent continues in Romans 6 culminating in one of the most well-known gospel verses in all of Scripture. He outlines “Two Masters” (vv. 15-18); “Two Trajectories” (vv. 19-22); and “Two Approaches” (v. 23). Outside of Christ, we are all captive to sin; in Christ, we obey from the heart. Christianity is not a behavioral change that results in a new status; faith in Christ is a new status that results in behavioral change! Pastor Brent quotes from theologians Augustine, Thomas Oden, and Kevin Vanhoozer. He also employs illustrations from our nation’s founding (the purpose of our freedom); the bishop showing undeserved mercy to Valjean in Les Miserables; and the Parable of the Lost Sons in Luke 15.
