Should Christians Stop Dying to Themselves? Yes, and Here’s Why… | Andrew Farley

Описание: Gospel Zero: Reclaiming the Radical Message of Grace – Part 5

What if I told you that dying to self – the whole “deny yourself daily” routine – is not only unnecessary but downright counterproductive?

Here’s the mind-blowing truth: You’ve already died. Your old self was crucified with Christ. Jesus didn’t just die for your sins – He included you in that death. And guess what? He didn’t leave you in the tomb. He raised you to life, with a brand-new, righteous heart, and His Spirit who is always with you.

This is the forgotten half of the Gospel that changes everything. The new you? You’re not a slave to sin or a daily mourner of the old self. The flesh? Just leftover “stinking thinking” and not your true identity.

Want to truly grasp how this all works? Click to watch, and you’ll never see sin – or temptation – the same way again. This message is the good news you’ve been waiting for!

8. React to this statement: You are a slave of righteousness.
