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

What I discovered in my studies in those now far-off early days of my Christian life was this. voice-verified

Paul uses a particular form of speech in Romans 6, verse 2. voice-verified

I think we could express it like this. voice-verified

He says, we, we who are the kind of people, we who belong to the category of people, we voice-verified

We, whose very identity as a Christian is as follows, we are those who have died to sin. voice-verified

How can such people go on living in sin? voice-verified

You know, maybe allow me to put that in rather grandiose terms that I sometimes use in order to remind myself of the massive transition that takes place when we come to faith in Jesus Christ. voice-verified

I am now someone who is defined like this. voice-verified

This is my new identity. voice-verified

I have died to the dominion of sin. voice-verified

And so to go on living in sin would be an ontological contradiction, a contradiction of who I really am. voice-verified

It would involve identity amnesia. voice-verified

I would be forgetting what it means to be in Christ. voice-verified

Now, there's a lot more than this in Romans 6, and the same teaching is expounded elsewhere in Paul. voice-verified

But here's one of the contemporary importances of this teaching on union with Christ. voice-verified

I think it's tremendously important for us to grasp, especially if we are younger people and younger Christians. voice-verified

because we're now living in a time when identity is top of the agenda. voice-verified

This is an epoch of profound identity crisis in the Western world. voice-verified

So knowing who you really are is a wonderful blessing. voice-verified

If I'm a believer, I am in Christ. voice-verified
