Victory in Jesus

Christ Gives Us Victory*The end of last lesson:“Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from the life dominated by sin and death?”*This lesson:“Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord!” -What the law was powerless to do, God did -How? -Why?

Just a Reminder*There are two ways to walk:1. Walk in the flesh: -Hostile to God because He doesn’t bow to Jesus as Savior -Doesn’t submit to God’s ways -Cannot please God -Results in death & separation2. Walk in the Spirit: -Peace with God -Wants to submit to God’s ways -We bear fruit of the Spirit

So Now We Have An Obligation1. “Put to death the misdeeds of your sin nature.” -We don’t just let God do it for us -We don’t try to do it on our own -We, by the power of the Holy Spirit, put to death (an ongoing activity) misdeeds2. “Be LED by the Spirit.” -Not just calling upon Him occasionally -Trusting God completely

The Privilege*Freedom, peace, belong, alive, hope to eternal life, sons of God* “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship (adoption).” -“The term adoption may have a somewhat artificial sound in our ears; but in the Roman world of the first century A.D. an adopted son was a son deliberately chosen by his adoptive father to carry on his name and inherit his estate; he was in no way inferior in status to a son born in the ordinary course of nature, and would enjoy the father’s affection more fully and take on the father’s character more worthily.” ~F.F. Bruce~*Adopted as son -The right to call Him Abba -Heirs of God - we will receive all He’s promised
