Sunday on Monday - March 2nd, 2026
Yesterday, we walked through Romans 6 and asked a foundational question: What actually happened to me when I was saved? Paul begins with a reality. You were united with Christ in His death. Your old self was crucified with Him. Sin’s dominion was broken. Ownership transferred.
You may not feel different on this Monday. Same personality. Same pressures. Same temptations. But the deed changed.
As a result of the gospel reality, what does he command? Paul’s first command in Romans is not “try harder.” It’s “consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.” In other words, align your thinking with what is already true.
This week, when sin knocks, remember: you are not fighting for freedom. You are fighting from freedom. The debt has been paid. The old master no longer owns you. The voice may still shout, but it no longer has authority.
Don’t let your present feelings define your identity. Let the cross define it. Reckon it true. Stand on settled ground. And live like someone whose ownership has changed!
