When we are seeking a way to be delivered from our sin, Pastor Ford points us to the writings of the Apostle Paul in Romans. In Romans 6 Paul says, “Who the Son sets free is free indeed.” Now what is Paul’s point, exactly? He’s saying to us, “Listen, you need to know that you have to die to your sin in order to live.” Freedom in Christ comes after dying to self.
