Romans 6:12a: Applying Christ’s victory in holiness

Nick tells the old story of the grandfather who says two wolves fight inside him, the one that wins being the one he feeds, to open Romans 6:12a on applying Christ’s victory in holiness. He shows that the imperative to resist sin is grounded in the indicative of what Christ has already done, so obedience becomes feeding the new nature rather than gritting our teeth against the old.
