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

And a great Scottish churchman, the theologian Thomas Chalmers, who actually was a man of such substance, I think the Prime Minister of Great Britain was frightened of him. voice-verified

Chalmers thought this was perhaps the most interesting chapter in the whole Bible. voice-verified

So, it is a big deal. voice-verified

And it's important because Paul suggests to the Romans that there is something every Christian should know, but he's suspecting that maybe the Roman Christians don't understand it. voice-verified

The reason they should know it is because it's part of the meaning of their baptism. voice-verified

Well, what is it? voice-verified

It's that through the work of the Spirit, faith unites us to Jesus Christ. voice-verified

You remember how the New Testament puts it. voice-verified

We not only believe in Christ, but into Christ, so that we can be said to be now in Christ. voice-verified

And if we're united to Christ, that means that we are united to Him in His death and resurrection. voice-verified

Don't you know, he says to the Romans, that all of us who were baptized were baptized into Christ's death, and now we've been raised up with Him into newness of life. voice-verified

More than that, he says, the death Christ died was a death He died to sin, that is, to the dominion or reign of sin. voice-verified

So, if we are united to Christ, then we too have died to the dominion of sin and been raised into newness of life. voice-verified

We've been set free. voice-verified

And that's why Paul asks this question at the beginning of the chapter. voice-verified

How can we who died to sin still live in it? voice-verified

And if that's the case, then as he said at the end of the passage, then don't let sin, whose reign over you has been broken, reestablish that reign. voice-verified

Don't let your bodies become instruments or weapons for sin to use. voice-verified

Remember, you've died to sin's dominion. voice-verified

You've been raised to a new life in another kingdom altogether, the kingdom of Jesus Christ. voice-verified
