Slaves of Righteousness

Pastor Robert McNutt preached from Romans 6:15–23, emphasizing that believers, once enslaved to sin, are now slaves of righteousness through their union with Christ. He argued that true Christianity involves a transformative change wrought by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. This change is evidenced by obedience from the heart, resulting in sanctification. Pastor McNutt contrasted the believer's previous bondage to sin with their present status as slaves to righteousness, highlighting that Christians are no longer under sin's dominion. Instead, they are progressively sanctified by the Holy Spirit. The sermon concluded by stressing that moral effort apart from Christ is futile; only through union with Christ can believers grow in holiness, secure in the promise that God will complete the work He has begun.
