- ROLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR LIVES
- The Holy Spirit is called in the Bible the “Advocate of the Lord Jesus Christ”
- Jesus is our advocate before the Father; the Holy Spirit is the advocate to us
- The Holy Spirit takes the things of God, the things of Jesus, and shows them to us
- TWO KINGDOMS (Romans 5:17)
- There is a kingdom of darkness and a kingdom of light; a kingdom of Satan and death and a kingdom of God and life
- There are two men who are associated with each kingdom: one man is Adam, one man is Jesus
- We are either with Adam in the kingdom of death, or we are with Christ in the kingdom of life
- We choose to either remain in Adam or to live in Christ
- When we choose Jesus, we have much more in Christ than we ever lost in Adam
- THROUGH ONE MAN, ADAM, WE BECAME SLAVES TO SIN; THROUGH JESUS, WE ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS (Romans 5:19)
- WHAT WE RECEIVED FROM ADAM
- Weakness rather than power (Romans 5:6)
- Ungodliness rather than godliness (Romans 5:6 and 3:23)
- Sinfulness (Romans 5:7-8)
- What is sin?
- Doing what we ought not to do (1 John 3:4 and James 2:10)
- Failing to do what we ought to do (James 4:17)
- Unbelief in God; not believing God (Romans 14:23)
- Human goodness (Proverbs 21:4)
- Wrath rather than approval (Romans 5:9)
- Warfare rather than peace (Romans 5:10 and Matthew 12:30)
- WHAT WE GAINED THROUGH JESUS
- Much more of justification (Romans 5:9)
- Much more of reconciliation (Romans 5:10)
- Much more of regeneration (Romans 5:15)
- Much more of righteousness (Romans 5:17)
- God imputes to us righteousness; He puts righteousness on our account (Romans 4:5-8)
- Much more of our reign (Romans 5:20-21)
