This sermon was preached at Pataskala Grace Church on Sunday, April 12, 2026.

If God forgives sin, why should Christians still fight it? That question gets to the heart of one of the greatest misunderstandings about grace. In Romans 6, the apostle Paul shows us that grace is far more than divine pardon—it is the power of God that unites believers to Jesus Christ in His death and resurrection. Because of our union with Christ, sin no longer rules over us, and we are no longer who we once were. In this message, we explore how the gospel not only forgives our past but transforms our present, breaks sin’s power, and calls us to live in the new life Jesus has won for us. Because if you are alive in Christ, you can no longer live in sin.
