Permitted Fruit
“...our tendency is to focus on all the rules and commandments we’ve broken, all the bad fruit we’ve produced. Yes, that is vital for our discipleship…But we make a mistake when we see this as the goal of our discipleship. What I invite you to imagine is what it looks like to produce good fruit.”
The End of the Story
The end of the story is that God is gracious and merciful, abounding in steadfast love; He doesn’t desire any sinner to perish, but to have eternal life.
Baptized Into Christ
If God’s grace is greater than our transgressions, should we keep sinning that his grace may abound all the more? This is a logical conclusion, but one that St. Paul adamantly refutes. This week, we continue our series in the Book of Romans to understand what we mean when we talk about the gospel. The good news is that, through our baptism, we have been so united to Christ that his death counts as ours. Not only this, but his resurrection also is ours. We have died to sin in baptism; there is no reason to continue in sin for those who have died to it. Join Fr. Ben Williams as we discover what it means to be baptized into Christ.
