1.3K1:14:57ConferenceROM 5:1In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the radical nature of conversion. He explains that conversion is not simply accepting a truth or changing one's mindset, but rather a complete revolution in a person's life.

The preacher also draws parallels to the Israelites' physical journey out of Egypt and into the Promised Land, questioning whether believers today can physically escape the world or the wilderness to live with Christ in heaven. The sermon concludes with an exploration of freedom from sin and death through the Lord's Spirit of Life.
