3 THE MOST IMPORTANT KIND OF FREEDOM IS TO BE WHAT YOU REALLY ARE jim morrison WHAT IS FREEDOM? ARE YOU FREE?

4 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. ROMANS 6:16-23

5 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. ROMANS 6:16-23

6 21 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.

7 THE STICKY STRINGS OF SIN 2 KINDS OF SIN ORIGINAL + ONGOING Do Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned ROMANS 5:12 PSALM 51:5 not offer/present When you offer yourselves/obey ROMANS 6:12, 16 Unleashed FROM SIN

8 THE STICKY STRINGS OF SIN 2 KINDS OF SIN ORIGINAL + ONGOING Do As the salt flavors every drop in the Atlantic, so does sin affect every atom of our nature. It is so sadly there, so abundantly there, that if you cannot detect it, you are deceived. SPURGEON not offer/present When you offer yourselves/obey ROMANS 6:12, 16 Unleashed FROM SIN

9 THE STICKY STRINGS OF SIN Sin is STUPID REBELLION ROM. 1:21 ADDICTION ROM. 1:26-32 DELUSIONAL SELF-RULE ROM. 1:22, 25 ENSLAVEMENT ROM. 6 Unleashed FROM SIN

10 THE COSTS OF SIN ENSLAVEMENT SUICIDE SEPARATION DEATH DONE WITH YOU

11 LIBERATED TO SIN NO MORE 2 How can we who died to sin still live in it? 6 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. 10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 SO YOU ALSO MUST CONSIDER YOURSELVES DEAD TO SIN AND ALIVE TO GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.

12 THE LIBERATION INTO LIFE Unleashed FROM SIN 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 19 For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so NOW PRESENT YOUR MEMBERS AS SLAVES TO RIGHTEOUSNESS LEADING TO SANCTIFICATION.

13 Unleashed TO TRUE FREEDOM IN CHRIST 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
