Real Freedom from Bad Habits (2 of 5)
Series: Now What

Romans 6
Do you have bad habits that you just seem that you cannot have victory…
You are a guy and you struggle with lust…can you ever be free.
You are a woman and you gossip
You drink to excess
You are self medicating

None of these bring you life…they don't make your life better…only worse…so how do I overcome them.
In Romans 5 Paul tells us that we have been introduced to Grace by faith.
I do not have a license to sin or to continue in the bad habits?

Baptism is done to disciples who know what they are doing.
It is the a calling found in the Great Commission.
Note that we baptize Disciples.
Matthew 28:19-20 (NASB)
19 ''Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.''
Baptism is an appeal to God for a clear conscience.
1 Peter 3:21 (NASB)
21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you-not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience-through the resurre ...
