The Status And Benefits Of Those In Christ!
Romans 5-8
January 22, 2023
Sessions 2 & 3
Review: Romans 8:1, 2, 3
Conviction vs. Condemnation
Why is this possible? (Romans 5 – 8)
Romans 5:1 – Justified: Our legal status in Christ. Justification yields Peace with God. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Romans 5:2 – The glory of God: We exist to Receive and Reflect His Glory. The evidence, manifestation of His Presence! We are to be CARRIERS of His Presence!
Romans 5:2 – We stand in GRACE; God’s FAVOR
Romans 5:3-5 – The Development of Hope!
Romans 5:6-11 – Former enemies, now reconciled; sharers of His Life!
The “Representative Head” Principle: (Romans 5:12-19)
One’s status is Legally determined by Another’s Actions
Adam vs. Jesus Christ: Inherited status; nature/tendencies; results
Jesus Christ fulfilled every requirement, demand of God’s law (Perfect obedience/holiness) and God placed the benefits of His obedience into your, my account!! (2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:3-5)
The Spirit, soul, body composition: 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12
The “Spirit” vs. The “Flesh”
Our body is the “home”, “clothes”, of our spirit-man. It gets information from the outside, (for example media, other people, even the devil, etc.) and from inside sources (such as our brain, mind, the Holy Spirit).
Our soul is our spiritual personality. It can be under the influence, direction of the Spirit or the body/flesh and the enemy or the Lord. The mind is a receiver and a processor of information from outside and inside (the flesh and the Spirit). The mind makes projections, forms opinions, and is subject to deception. It must be trained and disciplined by the spirit of truth. (See John 16:13-15 and John 17:17)
“Self-talk can be good or bad. If it is based on wrong information, it projects the wrong perspective, leading to the wrong beliefs, which yields wrong results!”
Our spirit is “headquarters, home” for the Holy Spirit received through our new birth. Our spirit receives revelation, information, messages, promptings from the Lord. The Spirit’s witness: (Romans 8:16 and John 16:13-15)
Our spirit and soul are inseparable, but distinguishable.
