        <![CDATA[<p>Grace super-increases over sin, but does that mean we can live however we want?  Paul says absolutely not.  In Romans 6, he explains that Christians have died to sin by being buried with Christ in baptism, and now live a resurrected life.  This episode dives into what <em>actually </em>happened when we obeyed the gospel, why sin is no longer our master, and how sanctification begins.   If you aren't dead?  <em>You've got real problems.</em></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>This week, we crack open Romans 6–7 and watch Paul prove that <strong>Sin isn’t just bad behavior - it’s an active hunter</strong>, and <strong>Law is the very weapon it uses</strong> to kill us. We dig into why you <em>cannot</em> mix law and grace systems, why the “Law of Christ” isn’t a legal code demanding perfection, and why being “under grace” doesn’t mean moral free-for-all but <strong>a change of allegiances</strong>. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>It's the most debated passage in the Bible.  Paul describes the maddening tug-of-war between wanting to do good and watching our flesh sabotage us like it has its own agenda. Call it "Sanctification Tension," call it Spider-Man syndrome, call it “Why on earth did I do that?”  Whatever you call it, every Christian feels the war.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Finally, we crest into Romans 8, at high-altitude.  Paul announces an earth-shaking reality:  there is <em>now</em> no condemnation (i.e. death) for those in Christ Jesus.  What the Law couldn’t do, God did.  Sin is condemned, not you.  And everything from here on runs on the Spirit, not the flesh.</p>]]>
