Romans: Rooted in Jesus, Obedience from the Heart

If you have children, have you ever had that moment when a child did something without being asked? They saw the kitchen trash was full and took it out, even putting new bags in the cans? You thank them for doing it, and they respond with words of ownership and gratitude for all that you do. If you haven’t had that moment, I’m here to tell you, it can happen. As they mature they will appreciate more and more all that you do for them and this gratitude should create “obedience from the heart.” 

That’s what our next text of Romans 6 talks about, “obedience from the heart.” This is something that the Law cannot produce. Adam’s dynasty of death doesn’t produce this. Only grace can produce obedience from the heart. Join us Sunday as we consider this powerful working of God and worship him for all he does for us!
