What if the reason sin still feels powerful isn’t because you’re failing, but because you’re forgetting something that already happened? In this Rooted & Ready teaching, we walk through Romans 6:7, a verse that radically reshapes how we understand freedom, identity, and the ongoing struggle with sin. This verse isn’t about trying harder. It’s about remembering who died.

In this video, you’ll discover:

- Why forgiveness and freedom are not the same thing

- Why old habits can still feel loud even after salvation

- How identity, not effort, is the key to real change

- What it actually means to be “dead to sin”

- Why freedom is a fact, not a feeling

If you’ve ever wondered: “If I’m saved, why do I still struggle?” “Why does sin still feel strong?” “Am I doing something wrong?” This teaching is for you.

Freedom doesn’t start when behavior changes. It starts when identity is remembered.

Watch, reflect, and let this truth reframe how you fight and how you rest.

“For one who has died has been set free from sin.” -Romans 6:7

Questions for personal reflection:

If freedom from sin is already true, what changes when you stop fighting for it and start living from it?

How does remembering who died with Christ reshape the way you view your ongoing struggles?

What’s the difference between being forgiven and actually living free, and where do you see that tension in your own life?

When sin feels loud, how can anchoring your identity in Christ quiet the urge to rely on effort instead of truth?
