In this episode, we explore Romans 7:7-13, where Paul clarifies the purpose of the law and its role in revealing sin. Was the law itself sinful? Paul answers with a resounding no.

In today’s episode, we continue our journey through Romans 6, focusing on verses 15-23. Paul poses a critical question: Are you a slave to sin or a slave to God?
