Go to Romans, please, the sixth chapter, if you would.

We've been on a series for a number of weeks now that we're calling,

anybody know what we're calling it?

Free from sin.

Now, nowadays, if you say sin, people go, ooh, that's harsh.

Sin is a Bible word, and it is in the Bible a lot.

And sin is in the Bible a lot. And sin is why the earth is cursed today.

And it's why things, including human beings, die.

If there had never been any sin, there wouldn't be any curse.

There'd never been any lack. Never been any sin. There wouldn't be any curse. There'd never been any lack.

Never been any war.

Never been any sickness.

Never been any death.

It's because of sin.

And sin is why Jesus had to come.

And had to go to the cross where he was made sin with our sin so that we could be made righteous with his righteousness.

What a deal.

Huh?

What a trade.

And you'll find that the revelation of our deliverance from sin is what some people call the Pauline revelation that God gave through Paul
