Alive unto God

Romans 6:5-8 — What fear should the Christian have? In what ways ought the believer be gripped with worry or anxiety? Unruly fears, anxieties, and worries lead the believer to spiritual depression. This need not be. In this sermon on Romans 6:5-8, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones declares the believers’ sure hope: we are raised with Christ. What one believes must be driven by facts. The fact is that Jesus was raised from the dead, and all who have died with Him have the confidence that they are raised with Him. In the face of our own temptations, these facts lead the Christian to an unshakable certainty: death has no power over us. As the believer is dead to sin, and alive to Christ, Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that our future is absolutely certain. We cannot continue in sin, and will never again submit to the slavery of sin and death. Worry, fear, and anxiety are wrapped up in death. Death is rooted in sin. If Jesus has dealt with sin, He’s dealt with death. If death is no more, everything changes. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones leads us to the truth that calms our fear: Christ has been raised from the dead, and your life is hid in Christ with God.
