Things Unseen with Sinclair B. Ferguson · Dead to Sin's Dominion · 24 Sep 2026 podcast

This week on Things Unseen, I've been talking about some of the passages in Scripture that have shaped my own Christian life. voice-verified

And I've said before, I want to encourage you not only to think about the particular verses that have influenced me, but to take some time this week, maybe over the weekend, to think about passages that have shaped your own life. voice-verified

It's a wonderful exercise, and it helps us to see how God's Word has been at work in us, as Paul puts it in 1 Thessalonians 2. voice-verified

I almost hesitate to mention the fourth passage today because it's got 14 verses in it, and it's not the easiest passage to understand. voice-verified

And I think not many of us read it and immediately think, yes, I've got it. voice-verified

I'm not going to read the passage, but it's in Romans chapter 6, verses 1 through 14. voice-verified

And I first became conscious of its importance in a book someone gave me when I think I was 16. voice-verified

The book actually taught what used to be called the higher life, and one element in its teaching which appealed to these verses in Romans 6 was that there was a new level of sanctification possible, and it could be experienced by a particular act of faith. voice-verified

I read and re-read the book, but to be honest, I just didn't get it. voice-verified

I felt as though I was being asked to leap onto the top of a table from a standing start. voice-verified

And so I put the book to one side. voice-verified

But a year or so later, when I was in my first year at university, I heard an address that touched on Romans 6. voice-verified

And I remember thinking, I've got to give more serious attention to studying this passage. voice-verified

And so I did. voice-verified

To tell the truth, I don't think I've preached on it all that often, considering how important it's been in my own life. voice-verified

but the truth it teaches has been like background music in my life ever since I was a late teenager. voice-verified

So what's the big deal in Romans 6? voice-verified

Well, just that it is a big deal. voice-verified

The great Welsh preacher, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who actually preached on Romans for about 14 years or so in London, recorded that a well-known individual came to see him once to ask him when he was going to begin a series of expositions on Romans. voice-verified

And he replied, when I can understand Romans chapter 6. voice-verified
