Romans
Every man should subject, submit, or yield his spirit to God's Son.
Why?
Because of the gospel, the glorious salvation that is in Christ Jesus: the deliverance from sin, death, and hell.
When a person considers that he is enslaved by sin and that he is actually going to die and have to give an account to God, he is most foolish........
1· not to accept the salvation that is in God's Son
2· not to subject his spirit to God's Son
3· not to serve in the gospel of God's Son
QUESTIONS:
1.
What is the greatest challenge a believer faces when yielding his spirit to Christ?
What motivated you to submit your spirit to Christ?
What did you gain from doing this?
2. Given the difference between being enslaved by sin and being enslaved by Christ, why do so many people choose to continue in sin?
Serve: labor of hire, service that is bought.
Paul says, "I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son."
Note three points.
1.
The believer's labor and service are bought and paid for by the precious blood of Christ.
1 Cor.
6:
2. The believer owes his labor and service to the Lord.
Once he has surrendered to the gospel, he has no choice.
He is to diligently serve and work for Christ.
Gal.
6:2
3. The believer is to serve God in his spirit and in his body.
The spirit controls the body.
What the spirit does, the body does.
Therefore, if the believer is serving God in spirit, he is serving God in body.
Stage Coach Illustration....
If a man's spirit is right, then his body will be right.
For example, a man may feel bad; he may be down, depressed, and oppressed; but if his spirit is strong, he arises and conquers his feelings.
He controls and overcomes the oppressing circumstances, and he lives a victorious day.
But if his spirit is weak—whether at work or at play—he often wallows around in self-pity, grumbling and griping, and living a defeated day.
And too often the day stretches into weeks and months until a person's life is down more than it is up—all because the spirit is too weak to conquer.
APPLICATION: The point is this: the believer is to serve God in his spirit and in his body.
He is... ·
to keep his spirit strong ·
to conquer his emotions ·
to overcome his weaknesses, the ups and downs of his body
When a believer does this, then he can serve God to the fullest extent possible.
QUESTIONS:
1.
As a believer, what right does Christ have to require you to serve Him?
2. How willing are you to serve Christ?
a.
When I find it convenient within my personal schedule.
b.
When it seems to be the popular thing to do.
c.
When it does not cost me anything.
Þ When it seems to be the popular thing to do.
Þ When it does not cost me anything.
Þ Anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
