Prigen The Holy Spirit gives us life here and now, but that’s not all He does. He will also give life to our mortal bodies on the day of resurrection! We know this will happen because God has already shown His resurrection power when He raised Jesus from the dead!
crossly Do you know that if you are in Christ, you have the presence of Christ through His Spirit in you?! And because He dwells in you, He gives life! Not only life in eternity, but life here and now!
In Christ, we receive a new identity. That doesn’t stop the enemy from throwing our old identity back in our face, though. It’s in those moments we need to remind ourselves of who we are and where we stand. We read of this identity change and positional change in Romans 8:4-11.
There is no two-class Christianity. Every single Christian has to fight the flesh and depend on the Holy Spirit every day. If there were a two-class system, the Apostle Paul would definitely be in the elite status. Yet, in this passage he shares his own experiences with fighting the flesh. If Paul had to fight the flesh, how can any of us imagine we don’t?
Have you ever come to a place in your life that you’ve cried out to the Lord in desperation, “Why won’t you take this sinful desire from me? Why do I keep going back to it?” If so, you can resonate with the war within that Paul describes in this passage in Romans 7. Christian, you’re going to wrestle with the sin nature until Jesus comes back. This is not an excuse to sin, but a call to fight the flesh and hope in Christ!
Death releases us from the law. It’s true in marriage, its true in salvation. We died to the law and are bound to Christ. But what does that mean? Check out this message on Romans 7:1-6!
