(3) Reflection: We are certain to have victory over sin. Are you worry that your sins will not be all forgiven? On the other hand, do you live like you are not a slave to sin any more?
Israelite were released from the slavery of Egypt to serve a new Master, our LORD. Rom 6 also reminds that we are slaves to righteousness. Do you live like it?
