Synopsis
Mark discusses Romans 6 in great detail. His initial focus is on WH Ouden who was a student at Christ Church College, at Oxford University. Mark discussed his life and family and his time at Gresham’s Boarding school. Religion was taught there. He made an observation, “People only love God when no one else will love them. While at Oxford he was a non-believer, at least in a personal God. Mark continues with a discussion of Post Freudian psychology, Marxism, Liberalism and a discussion of whether people are naturally good. Then the in the 1930’s “classic Liberalism” was destroyed by a specific event, Hitler and the Third Reich. After all the events associated with the above history and the and the history of Christ’s Death on the cross, the discussion transitions to God’s Grace and Forgiveness. This is discussed as the effects of a pendulum of God’s Grace and forgiveness: God’s Grace and Forgiveness Legalism Antinomianism Human’s can do it Grace abounds; And earn it Sin doesn’t matter Romans 6:1 Romans 6:2 Balance Romans 6:3-4 Points for Home: • Find and live your new life • We too might walk in the newness of life (Romans 6:4)
