From Slavery to Freedom: Living Your New Identity
Jun 28, 2026 • The Rev. Ben Jones
Why does Paul speak of slavery to sin and slavery to God? Recovering the therefore dropped from Romans 6:12, Rev. Jones argues that baptism has already moved us from death to life, so the only question is whether we will live like it. A parishioner's daughter who scammed several parishioners and a television drama's whispered lies show how sin reshapes our desires and calls it freedom, while slavery to God restores us as his image bearers.
