A New Life

Galatians 2:20 KJV 1900
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

What is the New Life?

New life is
++ A life impacted by the Spirit
++A life of Faith
++A life Justified

A Life impacted by the Spirit

Galatians 3:2 KJV 1900
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
The Power of the Spirit
++Was recognized in Jesus
Luke 4:14 KJV 1900
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
The Power of the Spirit
Was recognized in Jesus
++Embraced by Jesus
Luke 4:18–19 KJV 1900
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
The Power of the Spirit
Was recognized in Jesus
Embraced by Jesus
++Empowered what he Spoke
John 6:63 KJV 1900
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

There are two Spiritual Laws

The Law pertaining to the flesh
++Flesh
++Blood
The Law pertaining to the Spirit
++The unseen you
++That which makes you _You_
1 Corinthians 15:50 KJV 1900
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
John 3:6 KJV 1900
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Galatians 5:17 KJV 1900
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Romans 8:9 KJV 1900
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

It is the spirit that brings life.

Genesis 2:7 KJV 1900
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Romans 5:12 KJV 1900
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
The Law of Sin and Death
++The state of Mankind
Isaiah 59:1 KJV 1900
1 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; Neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

Man is limited

Our limitation
++Vision
John 1:18 KJV 1900
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
1 John 4:20 KJV 1900
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

How can man love God whom he has not seen?

When we struggle with the visible
When we struggle with the flesh

God made accommodations for our limitations

John 1:1 KJV 1900
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 KJV 1900
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Though we cannot see God, He makes himself visible through his son

John 14:8–9 KJV 1900
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Our limitation
Vision
++Our Iniquity
Isaiah 59:2 KJV 1900
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, And your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Why won’t God hear us?

Genesis 3:10 KJV 1900
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
What happens when we sin?
++We become self aware
++We become afraid
++We see our condition clearly
++We hide from God

Sin effects our perception of God

God is unchanging
++His love remains
++His plans remain
++His calling is unchanged

God is never surprised

God sees us

Jeremiah 16:17 KJV 1900
17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
Proverbs 15:3 KJV 1900
3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Beholding the evil and the good.
2 Corinthians 3:5–6 KJV 1900
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
1 Corinthians 15:45 KJV 1900
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Romans 8:2 KJV 1900
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

A Life A life of Faith

Romans 1:17 KJV 1900
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Galatians 3:5–6 KJV 1900
5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

A life is a Life Justified

Galatians 2:16 KJV 1900
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 3:8 KJV 1900
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Galatians 3:24 KJV 1900
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Romans 5:1 KJV 1900
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Galatians 2:20 KJV 1900
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
The Mark of the New Life
++I Know I am loved by God
++His love is made known through Christ
++Christ Gave his life for me
Galatians 2:21 KJV 1900
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
