Way to read Romans 6 like Romans 7 or 4 for that matter was never written, it's a complete thought that letter sanctification is the work of God alone, we don't make anything holy, we are unholy of ourselves everything we do of our will is sin so this participation in sanctification is Adam's insane fantasy, still trying to save ourselves, both are declared states, justification can't be separated from sanctification and I'm with Paul Romans 4:5

...P.S I usually listen to this particular podcast on the Ligonier app but I had to come over here to recommend it as there's nowhere on the Ligonier app to comment.

This has got to be my favourite podcast of Ligonier's. It's aired daily. And at the beginning of each week we're introduced to a few teachings from a particular series. There's usually a different edition for Saturday and then a sermon for Sunday but each series is excellent and delivered by various teaching fellows. Thanks so much Ligonier this really does make a difference in my life. I thank God for each of you. 🙏

Wonderful teaching from R.C as usual. I absolutely agree with this teaching. There is one issue I'm having and I suspect it's with the app rather than with Ligonier and that is that the recording kept stopping. I cleared the cache and it continued to stop periodically.

2) can somebody explain why this is not a subject that should be put out there to the Christian world. to me it is undeniable that a large swath of people who call themselves Christians. do not seem to have the mental capacity for reading God's word and looking at especially in Exodus what we can expect in the days coming.

I have been extremely frustrated and concerned with those who preach the word but do not address what is happening in the pulpit in regards to supporting Donald Trump.. from the very beginning of that man's entry into our political presidency I have been beyond angry with so many throughout this country who have supported and testified on his behalf. I have believed from the very beginning of his Satanist conduct both past and present. I have contacted Franklin Graham on this subject.

VERY GREAT VENTURE!!,i've received a copy here in Kenya from Ekklesia Africa which i got when i travelled to Nairobi for a conference,it is a great resource since very few pastors have any theological training & they don't have any Bible commentaries.I for example only have a gospels JC Ryle commentary set & i don't know any other pastor in my rural county that has a commentary & also one of the few with theology training. As a pastor in a rural county i'd love to know how my fellow pastors can get a copy.email:frankkirari@gmail.com ~Frank,North Kinangop Baptist Church
