Believing rightly always precedes behaving rightly. Only when we grasp that sin’s power is broken can we obey God wholeheartedly and live as free people.

In Romans 6:12–18, the Apostle Paul continues his call to live in light of our union with Christ. Sin is like an exiled tyrant trying to reclaim the throne of our hearts, but we stand in grace, free from sin’s dominion. The gospel reminds us that how we live flows from what we truly believe about our identity in Christ. This week we discover how the right beliefs about God’s grace and our new status in Christ empower us to live for Him alone.
