1.1 THE APPLICATION
Doctrine, then practice
Example: Romans 12:1; Ephesians 4:1
1.2 WHY WE ARE NOT DEBTORS TO LIVE AFTER THE FLESH
2.1 It is illogical
2.2 We are free in Christ
2.3 We are removed from the realm of death
2.4 The flesh has no right over us
1.3 SOME COMMANDS OF THE SPIRIT
1 Corinthians 6:12-18; 9:24; 2 Corinthians 6:14
Ephesians 4:17; Philippians 2:12-13; Colossians 3:2
1.4 A LIFE–OR–DEATH PROPOSITION
2.1 Literally: “about to die”
PHYSICAL DEATH
2.2 The life giving Spirit
ABUNDANT LIFE
1.5 HOW WE MORTIFY THE FLESH
Sin is mortified when its power is destroyed, and it ceases to be active.
Colossians 3:5; 3:9; Galatians 5:24; Galatians 6:14; 1 Corinthians 9:27
A balanced approach
God’s part: “by the Spirit”
Our part: “you put to death”
2.1 We recognize the truth about ourselves
2.2 We recognize what God did for our sin
2.3 We set our minds on the things of the Spirit
3.1 WE TAKE THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
3.2 WE DO IT BY HEARING WITH FAITH
3.3 WE BELIEVE THE PROMISES OF GOD
2.4 We operate in the strength of Christ
2.5 We replace the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit
2.6 We walk in the Spirit
12 Therefore, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die. But if you through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live. (NKJV)
