#126 – The New Life with Courtney Doctor

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by author, Bible teacher, conference, and retreat speaker Courtney Doctor. Together they discuss Romans 6:1-14 and union with Christ.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• Paul’s use of rhetorical questions to advance his argument: “What shall we say then?” Why would Paul ask and answer this question at this point?
• Should we understand this to mean that if you are a Christian you can’t sin and if you sin you couldn’t possibly be a Christian?
• What does it mean to be “baptized into Christ Jesus?”
• What is the doctrine of union with Christ?
• How is this tied to the actual historical events of Christ?
• How do we consider ourselves “dead to sin?”

Helpful Definitions:

• Union with Christ: When we are in Christ, all that he has done, all that he has accomplished; those become ours too. It is our salvation; he saves us by uniting us to himself in a way that what has happened to him; his death, his burial, his resurrection, his victory over sin, it is in Christ that those are ours.
• Historio Saludis: History of salvation accomplished.
• Ordo Saludis: Salvation accomplished and applied.
