Field Day - Church Camp - Tug of War
Which Side Typically won?
Pitch a couple scenarios-
Tug of War with a dead man
Tug of War with a paralyzed man
Who here today has felt the tug of war in your walk with God?
Romans 7.
Can you relate?
The Desire to do right yet the compulsion to do wrong.
The Conviction when doing wrong yet pushing forward.
If you can relate, Paul has a message for you.
Life Changing Truth - If you can get your mind around this truth Paul shares it will revolutionize your walk with God, and the victory you can experience over sin.
Universal Problem - All Have sinned - Condemnation
Universal Solution - Jesus Died for Sinners - Justification
Universal Plan - Believers Should Walk in Victory - Sanctification
An Objection Refuted (vs
Paul Got in front of an objection in light of the truth of Justification.
A Question Addressed
Misunderstand God’s Grace as a license to sin...
Warning- There are those who know the facts about salvation, who have a false sense of security, and live as if Jesus died for them to have a free pass.
Accompanying Salvation is a new nature and the Holy Spirit of God takes residence in us.
Paul’s Argument - How Can you keep on sinning when you are dead to sin...
This is the Principle… If I have been Justified by Christ, I AM DEAD TO SIN!!
Repeat.
Repeat.
Turn to Your Neighbor, Turn To your Other Neighbor
Paul’s Illustration - The Picture of Baptism
Why Is Baptism so important?
Why does it matter the method of Baptism?
It’s a Picture- Death, Burial, Resurrection
It’s a Choice of Identification - My Death, My Burial, My Resurrection
I want you to notice Paul’s Logic -
This is the First Step of Victorious Living - KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE
What do you want me to know Paul?
We died with Christ
When we died with Christ - The Power of Sin was Broken (literally Rendered Inoperative)
Notice the statement of Potential - Might…
The Might is not dependent of what Christ has done but as we will see what we yield ourselves to.
Illustration - Unplugged Light
Illustration - Unplugged Light
If we died with Him, We also Rose with Him… Death has no Dominion
Get this… This is all true for the believer whether you believe it our not.
Look at verse
Leads to Step # 2 I have to make this Truth, My Truth.
In these moments of Tug of War, We surely do not feel dead to sin.
Paul’s Saying, Yeah I get it - Our Old Man has been Crucified but I still live in His House, and there are reminders all around me of Him.
He has been rendered Powerless, Unfortunately He has not been rendered Voiceless.
It’s its in these moments, you have to MAKE UP IN YOUR MIND - What do i believe
Calculate the Facts of what we know, and Come to the conclusion… I don’t feel like that I’m dead but I’m Choosing to Believe What God’s Word Said.
That’s what it means to reckon...
Always remember that Truth > Feelings
Problem is this, we are dominated by our emotions and feelings.
Your Feelings Lie, They are manipulated by the Flesh...
They always over exaggerate circumstances.
I know the Truth, I take Ownership of the Truth
I take Ownership of the Truth
3. I live in light of the Truth
Romans
This is the key… 2 Imperative Commands
1. Do not let sin reign in your mortal body - Thoughts
If you toy around with the idea of sin long enough, you’ll soon find yourself getting closer and closer.
That’s how sin works
Jesus on Sermon on the Mount - If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out… If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off.
Paul - Make no Provision for the Flesh to obey the lusts thereof...
You have a choice to Abort those thoughts as they come to you, You also have the power to say NO!!! Tug of war with a paralyzed man.
2. Do not present your body as instruments unrighteousness - Actions
Tug of war with a paralyzed man.
2. Do not present your body as instruments unrighteousness - Actions
Your going to serve something or someone, You have a choice to make...
Is it going to be self?
or God? (FINISH DEVELOPING THIS THOUGHT TONIGHT)
(FINISH DEVELOPING THIS THOUGHT TONIGHT)
Finish with this last thought - I can be victorious because Sin Has No Power over me.
How do i know?
Because we are not under Law, but Grace.
It all goes back to Jesus, and What he did...
There is tremendous freedom in knowing that our salvation is not dependent on me… That even when i mess up, I can go back to Jesus and His sacrifice is still sufficient.
Do you have that freedom?
Those Who stood Condemned Can Stand Justified & experience the joy of being Sanctified.
