Remade, Renewed, Regenerated by the Holy Spirit
This morning we’re going to be looking at another of the foundational beliefs in Christianity.
Before we start we’ll do a fast (and I mean fast) review:
Jesus is THE Way
Grace is the key that unlocked the door to our salvation
Jesus is the Son of God - why it matters
The incarnation
The resurrection and the ascension (two-fer) why they both matter
the Bible is the infallible, inerrant word of God
That brings us to our next bottom line belief, the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit.
The work of the Holy Spirit in salvation is sometimes overlooked.
It is the Holy Spirit quickening the Word of God in us that brings the realization of our need for a savior.
Why It Matters
Eternal punishment was our destiny
We were dead in our sin
The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life
Life was not in us
Christianity is about transformation and change
It isn’t simply about knowledge
The message of the gospel is that by His grace we are forever transformed.
That hopelessness is changed into a hope that is certain
That condemnation is changed to forgiveness
That estrangement is changed into relationship
That transformation and change is the work of the Holy Spirit
A new creature, a new nature, a new me
It involves 2 things:
A moral transformation
Everyone is born with a sin-corrupted nature
It is this nature that guides our decisions and desires
You are indeed angry, for we have sinned— In these ways we continue; And we need to be saved.
6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
At the very best our efforts produce dirty rags.
The regeneration of the Holy Spirit restores us to what God intended us to be.
Without sin, able to be in His presence
It is a new beginning, a fresh start
A new life
Before the work of the Holy Spirit we are dominated by what the scripture calls the flesh or carnal man.
Paul puts it this way “you were once slaves to sin”
Self-living , your life was oriented towards your own desires.
Those “fleshly” or unspiritual inclinations are replaced by spiritual ones.
These are outlined for us in a familiar passage of scripture.
Love,
joy,
peace,
longsuffering,
kindness,
goodness,
faithfulness,
gentleness,
self-control.
We love the things that God loves
We hate the things that God hates
