Episode notes
Died With Christ Means Freedom From Sin
- Christ's suffering means believers have died to sin as a shared reality with Him.
- John Piper ties 1 Peter 2:24 and Romans 6 to show our old self was crucified and thus no longer enslaved to sin.
Use Christ's Death As Your Weapon Against Temptation
- Arm yourself with the thought that Christ died to free you from sin when temptation comes.
- Use that consideration as a weapon against specific temptations like lust, lying, coveting, envy, retaliation, and fear.
Christ's Purchase Outvalues Sin's Pleasures
- Trusting that Christ didn't die to make you miserable flips the value comparison with sin's pleasures.
- Piper reasons that what Jesus purchased by suffering must be more wonderful than fleeting sinful pleasures.
