In this sermon, Carter Conlon emphasizes the urgency of dealing with sin in light of Christ's imminent return. He encourages the audience to turn to Romans chapter 7 in their Bibles. Conlon reminds the listeners that God desires their peace, freedom, and security, and warns against being led astray by those who try to impose works-based salvation. He concludes by highlighting the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, who took upon himself the sins of the world, and urges the audience to resist the temptations of sin and have mastery over it.

Greek Word Studies delves into the concept of 'aphorme,' which signifies a starting point or base of operations for an action to become possible. In the context of sin, 'aphorme' is likened to a base of operations for an attack on the soul, often taking advantage of opportunities or circumstances to manifest. Sin uses the law as a launching pad for its evil work, exploiting the restrictions to incite rebellion and desire. The preacher emphasizes the importance of not allowing freedom to become an excuse for selfish desires but rather to serve one another in love, preventing the flesh from gaining a foothold.
