THE ULTIMATE LIFESTYLE
Chapter 8 of Romans is one of the great chapters on the Christian Life.
It explains the wonderful privileges we have as believers when we allow the Holy Spirit to fill and control our lives.
Romans 8:1-39
LW - Two Natures … struggle everyone goes through.
Civil war going on in your life.
Chap 8 is the opposite.
victory… success...
We are going to be in Chapter 8 for a bit…
Chap 8 describes the type of life the HS makes possible… born again...
Key Word: I, me, myself used 47 times
Key Phrase: in Christ
No Condemnation for those in Christ… In Christ 164 times.
No seperatio for those in christ.
This is the ultimate lifestyle that everyone wishes they had.
THE KIND OF LIFE THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKES POSSIBLE FOR US TO LIVE:
Because of the Holy spirit, because we have Christ in our lives, because we are in Christ, we can live a life
1.
A LIFE WITHOUT CONDEMNATION: (Verses 1-4) John 3:18, John 5:24, 1 John 3:21
LW, Paul was defeated.
Now he shares the solution to the problem he discussed in chap 7.
The first thing he does in chap 8 is point out that the HS is answer to all of his problems.
The first benefit of being a Christ Follower is that …
God is not angry with me anymore.
He doesn’t say that if you keep all the rules there will not be any condemnation… He says because you are in Christ, there is no condemnation.
Jesus took that condemnation for you.
One condition for no condemnation - believe in Jesus
If you have put your faith in Jesus, you have passed from death to life… one requirement - Believe in Jesus.
It doesnt say because we are sin free that we are not condemned.
We still sin.
We still deserve condemnation, but because of Jesus, we don’t.
The HS allows us to live a life free from condemnation.
Because of the Holy spirit, because we have Christ in our lives, because we are in Christ, we can live ...
2. A LIFE WITHOUT DOMINATION (Verses 5-17) John 8:34, Rom.
6:16 & 22, 2 Cor.
3:17
Because of the HS, sin cannot dominate or control your life anymore.
I hear people say “I cant help myself...” As a Christian that’s not true… it’s all on you because the HS will give you the power to resist temptation.
All there is of God is in Jesus.
When you became a Christian, you got all there was…
Being filled with HS doesn’t mean you get more of the HS than someone else, it means he gets more of you.
Because of the Holy spirit, because we have Christ in our lives, because we are in Christ, we can live ...
3. A LIFE WITHOUT DESPERATION (Verses 18-27) 2 Cor.
4:16-18, Titus 2:13, John 14:26-27
Even in our hard times, we have hope.
Paul teaches that no matter what happens in your life, there is hope.
No situation is hopeless when you have the HS working in your life.
When you became a Christian did God take away all your problems?
NO… You probably got a few because all of a sudden you had a new enemy.
God has not promised us a problem free, stress free life.
Christians are not exempt from suffering.
But Christians have something that non Christians don't.
They have a hope that gets us through that suffering.
You can't compare the glory that you're going to have with the present suffering.
Paul -
small problems - understatement.
Shipwrecked twice, beaten five times, left for dead twice, stoned, whipped, put in jail, no food -- the guy's entire life was one big trial after another.
He calls them small.
that’s perspective.
We will all go through difficult times and God says they all have a purpose.
Two things we hope for in chap 8
1. Future Resurrection.
2. Holy Spirit praying for us when we go through these troubles.
In Roma 8:18-26, there are three kinds of groaning..
Creation Groans.
(18-22)
The world is not evolving, it's devolving.
The world is not physically getting better and better it's decaying.
When God made it back in the Garden of Eden that was as perfect as it was ever going to get.
Since then… since sin entered the world -- it's all been down hill.
More problems, less ozone.... Creation groans because there's sin in the world.
Believers Groan.
(23)
we're anxious to get away from the pressures, pains, problems of the world.
Holy Spirit Groans.
He prays for us.
God is concerned about your aches and pains.
Because of the Holy spirit, because we have Christ in our lives, because we are in Christ, we can live ...
4. A LIFE WITHOUT MISCALCULATION (Verses 28-30) Eph.
1:11, Phil.
1:6
God doesn’t make mistakes.
Everything that happens in your life has a purpose.
As a Christian, nothing happens by accident.
God is not too concerned with how the problems came… yourself, the devil… He wants to use them to make you more like Jesus.
Stop asking why and start asking what he’s trying to teach you.
God’s #1 purpose for you is to be like Jesus, so everything that happens in your life, Hew wants to use to make you more like Jesus.
God created us in his image… but we blew it when we sinned.
Jesus is restoring that.
All of what is going on today, is working for His plan.
Middle East - going to get worse then God will step in… 7 year peace treaty.
Trump - God used Cyrus…
Putin -
Xi
All of these are being used by God to accomplish his purposes.
GOD is on control.
That’s good stuff.
Even when we make mistakes, God uses it for our good.
We have free will and the ability to choose, but that is all under God’s sovereignty.
He knows the bad choices that we will make and uses them to make into who we need to be.
God uses everything for his purpose.
If you are a believer, God will never give up on you.
He started a work in you and will continue to complete it.
Because of the Holy spirit, because we have Christ in our lives, because we are in Christ, we can live ...
