Romans | If forgiveness is free, why not keep sinning? - Romans 5.20-6.14 - Lex Loizides

In this sermon, Lex Loizides delves into the enigmatic question: "If forgiveness is free, why not keep sinning?" Through the lens of Romans 5:20-6:14, he contends that grace isn't a free pass to continue in sin, but a transformative power that moves us from darkness into light. He asserts, "You're not an old sinner; you're a new creation!"—a vibrant proclamation echoing Paul's own words in Romans 6:2-7, where the apostle confirms that in Christ, the "old you" has died and is buried. This isn't a theological concept up for debate, it's a divine reality etched in the ink of Calvary's cross.

Finally, Loizides culminates in the vivid imagery of being "alive in Christ," as per Romans 6:8-14. He emphasizes that although the "mortal body" remains a battleground, sin no longer wears the crown; grace does. It's as though we've been rescued from a crumbling kingdom of darkness and translated into a kingdom of unshakable light—no longer slaves, but sons and daughters of the King.

In essence, the sermon is a clarion call to live in the transformative grace that, in the words of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, "delivers us from sin." Don't squander this grace. Lean into the Word, believe what God says about you, and live it out. The gospel of Jesus Christ doesn't just change your eternal destination; it changes you. Respond to this profound truth today.
