Zac Poonen - Romans 6 (Part 1) - February 5, 2012
Part of Zac Poonen · 379 of 379
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of God's will, particularly regarding scripture, comes from a deep desire to do God's will, not just intellectual study. He contrasts this with the 'flesh' or self-will, which is the source of sin, arguing that holiness is defined by willingly doing the Father's will. The central message is that when one desires to do God's will, the truths of scripture become clear, leading to freedom from sin's mastery.

Zac Poonen · May 7, 2026
Zac Poonen teaches that true freedom from sin comes through surrendering self-will to God's will, based on 1 Peter 4:1. He explains that "suffering in the flesh" means yielding one's self-will, and that sin fundamentally stems from doing one's own will rather than God's will, illustrated by Jesus' perfect obedience and reliance on the Holy Spirit.
