Main idea: Those who are in the Spirit are freed from captivity to the flesh, are empowered to live according to the Spirit, and have a sure “end times” hope in the Spirit.
Three points are:
1. Being in the flesh (vv5–6, vv7–8)
2. Being in the Spirit (vv5–6, v9)
3. An “end times” hope in the Spirit (vv10–11)
Applications
• Know that the cost of sin bears consequences that are temporary and eternal.
• Live with a mind-set of the Spirit.
