INTRODUCTION.
Today I want us to look at three things.
Condemnation.
Who is in control of your life?
How to be controlled by the Spirit.
MESSAGE.
No Condemnation.
What is Condemnation?
κατάκριμα, ατος, τό (In this and the cognates that follow the use of the term ‘condemnation’ does not denote merely a pronouncement of guilt [s.
κρίνω 5], but the adjudication of punishment.) - BDAG.
adjudication - 2 a: a judicial decision or sentence.
- (Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary 11th Ed.)
Who is not condemned?
Those in Christ
Christ has set you free.
The Law has pointed out that we are sinners.
The Law cannot save us.
We cannot save us.
The Law requires death?
God’s Love.
God sent His Son Jesus to fulfill the Law.
The fulfillment of the death of the law.
Who’s in Control?
Your sinful nature or the Holy Spirit?
How to know who is in control?
What do you think about?
Where does you mind stay?
What Dominates your mind?
Is your mind set on the flesh, your own desires?
Is you mind set on the the things of the Holy Spirit?
Does it really matter?
The mind set on the flesh is also known as the carnal mind.
What is the problem with carnality?
According to verse 6 carnality leads to death.
DEATH - BDAG.
1.
The termination of physical life.
2. Death viewed transcendently is contrast to a living relationship with God.
PEACE - BDAG
1. Life in the physical sense.
2. Transcendent life.
- Life of the believer which proceeds from God and Christ.
3. Peace because we are at peace with God.
4. Without this peace we are constantly trying to fill avoid in our life or trying to find satisfaction.
Why is there no peace apart from God?
According to verse 7 the carnal mind (the mind set on the flesh) is hostile towards God.
God wants to be in control.
That is why the Christian believer calls on Christ to be LORD and SAVIOR.
If God in not in control and the flesh is in control there is a battle.
There is no peace in battle.
Verse 8 tells us that in the flesh we cannot do want God wants us todo.
How to Be Controlled by the Spirit?
The Spirit must reside in you.
The question often asked “Do you know Jesus?”
The question should also be asked “Does Jesus know You?”
Paul wrote to the Romans about his very thing.
The Spirit of God must dwell in you for you to be controlled by Him.
Dwell - BDAG
to reside in a place, live, dwell
We often talk of inviting Christ into our hearts.
We might could say that Christ is a true gentleman.
He will never go or enter somewhere He is not invited to.
We are not longer our own once purchased by Christ’s atoning work on the Cross.
We must have the Spirit of Christ in us to be His.
With out the Spirit of Christ in us we are just lost sinners.
With out the Spirit of Christ in us we do not belong to Him.
With out the Spirit of Christ in us we are helpless and weak.
With out the Spirit of Christ in us we are dead.
We are dead in our relationship to God.
But worse when we die physically we will be dead and condemned to hell forever.
With Christ in us we are alive in the Spirit.
Even our physical bodies will be saved through Christ.
Our mortal bodies.
Mortal - pertaining to being subject to death.
- BDAG.
Paul also wrote:
