The ungodly “seek not freedom from sin but in sin”–which we see every day–and they want freedom from the consequences of sin.
But freedom in Christ, the freedom we receive when God in His grace drops the charges against us because Christ has paid our penalty, is transformative.
“The only way to change a culture,” Mark writes, “is by changing men, and this is only possible through the transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
