!! ROMANS THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
!! Bible Text: Romans 8:14-17
!! Subject: Adoption
!! Title: The Spirit Of Adoption
!
INTRODUCTION
!! Biblical Orientation:
!!! Chapter 8 introduces us to the powerful potential we have to conquer sin through the Holy Spirit.
Once we accept Jesus /Christ /as our Savior, we are alive in the Spirit of God.
We now have the Spirit of Christ in us (Holy Ghost) and we are in Him
!!!
The last sermon ended with the fact that; we are not at all obligated to the flesh, to live after the dictates and desires of the flesh.
In fact, we are to mortify the deeds of the flesh that are contrary to the Holiness of God and the will of God.
Through the help of the Holy Spirit, we mortify the evil deeds of the flesh
!!! Our obligation is to the Holy Spirit, which has translated us from death to life It is to be a constant obligation.
In other words, if you through the power of the Spirit kill the sinful desires of the flesh today, that is wonderful.
*Nevertheless, be *ready!
You must *do *it again tomorrow!
!! Sermon Orientation:
!!! Notice yet another aspect of the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
This one is a great blessing, as well.
The Spirit of God in us gives us a wonderful position as children of God.
Therefore, we will study “The Spirit of Adoption”
