Romans 8:1-2
English Standard Version
8 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

Pastor Bill: This isn’t as simple as “Do what you want. You’ll be forgiven.” Read Romans 7 for a more complete picture.

Galatians 5:16
English Standard Version
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

Pastor Bill: What’s that thing you think or do that you know just isn’t right? The Holy Spirit waits next to temptation. You can take the Spirit’s way out.

1 Corinthians 10:12-13
English Standard Version
12 Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Pastor Bill: Sin is not inevitable.

English Standard Version
“2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
