  You ever notice how some people can do something and it's kind of really bad and they don't
• 0:05
  seem to be bothered by it at all?
• 0:07
  The Bible says in Romans 6, 23 that when you were slaves of sin you were free in regard
• 0:11
  to righteousness.
• 0:12
  And that's different before or after becoming a Christian.
• 0:16
  So before becoming a Christian you're a slave to sin and it really just doesn't bother you
• 0:20
  and you don't have to try to do what's good or right.
• 0:24
  You don't feel burdened by righteousness.
• 0:26
  But then once you become a Christian, if you've become a Christian you should have kind of
• 0:30
  a bad feeling.
• 0:31
  You should recognize that what you're doing is wrong either during or after the choice
• 0:35
  that you've made.
• 0:37
  Not having those feelings when you do something wrong kind of means you might be slave to
• 0:42
  sin.
• 0:43
  Now once you've been saved you become a follower of Jesus Christ and are trying to live for
• 0:46
  him from then on so you've been born again.
• 0:49
  You can't be slave to sin anymore but you can be slave and should be slave to righteousness.
• 0:54
  You should be searching out the right things to do in any given situation.
• 0:58
  Some prefer to be mastered by sin which causes them to feel free from the burdens of righteousness.
• 1:03
  But the truth is I felt burdened by righteousness.
• 1:06
  I know that so much better but slicing it differently feels like we're burdened by obligation
• 1:12
  which I'd rather be free not to sin than to be stuck in sin.
• 1:16
  We are purchased by the blood of Christ and recognizing it is a much better place to be.
