When we obey sin, we obey a liar, a deceiver, a murderer. Sin is a slave master who tricks his subjects into eternal death. How do we get tricked into sinning? That’s the question on the table today, and the answer is found in Romans 6:22 22 But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. –23, as we will hear in a sermon clip from John Piper two decades ago. This clip was sent in by Gabriella, a listener to the podcast who lives in Sweden. She writes that “the following sermon clip has been very helpful for me in understanding the nature of sin and the true freedom we have in Christ. Living as a Christian in probably the most secular country in the world, the concept of being a slave in a culture that seems free and independent is very controversial. This sermon gave me the tools I needed to reach some unbelievers in my life.” Incredible. Well, here’s a clip from Pastor John’s sermon back in the year 2000.
