Notes

Handout
The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in spiritual growth
by convicting individuals of sin,
enabling them to accept Jesus as Lord, and
producing spiritual fruit.
What the Spirit does
He teaches, guides, empowers, and sanctifies believers, facilitating their transformation into Christ-like individuals.
When receiving godly counsel, which means this counsel is supported by the Holy Spirit,
This counsel aids in this progressive sanctification process.
Know Your Focus
Know Your Focus
4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Called to walk in the new life given by Christ.
Freed from Sin
Freed from Sin
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Present Yourself to God
Present Yourself to God
Your Members
Your Members
13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
Obeying Him
Obeying Him
16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
Produce Holiness
Produce Holiness
22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.
4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.
Serve in the Spirit
Serve in the Spirit
6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
Live According to the Spirit
Live According to the Spirit
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Set Your Mind on the things of the Spirit
Set Your Mind on the things of the Spirit
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Life to Your Bodies
Life to Your Bodies
11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
