Yet Romans 6 tells us that in Christ we are completely dead to sin and set free from its power! You are no longer a sinner...you have been made new! This is the Gospel!

So who has the power to rescue this miserable man from the unwelcome intruder of sin and death?[a] 25 I give all my thanks to God, for his mighty power has finally provided a way out through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!
