What's the Deal with Sin?

Today we’re exploring chapter 5 where we find the practical application of salvation by faith in Christ. Now that I’m saved by faith, how do I deal with the still apparent effects of living with sinful desires and failures in a godless culture of temptation? Paul will underscore that there is no set of rules or religious guidelines, an external force of law, to keep us in God’s will. Rather, we’ve been given the inner discipline of God (Holy Spirit), which is far better than any outer discipline of man-made rules!
