Part 1: We Couldn't, He Did, We Can

CONQUERORS: FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH - PART 1

Romans 8:1-4

“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to Him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.”

Romans 8:1-2 (NLT)

“The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent His own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.”

Romans 8:3-4 (NLT)

PATH 1:  LIVING UNDER THE LAW LEADS TO FAILURE AND CONDEMNATION.

“So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.”

Galatians 5:1 (NLT)

PATH 2:  LIVING UNDER THE SPIRIT LEADS TO JESUS AND FREEDOM.

“So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.”

John 8:36 (NLT)

“For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

John 8:44 (NLT)

“But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life.”

Romans 6:22 (NLT)

“Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, ‘It has come at last—salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth—the one who accuses them before our God day and night.’”

Revelation 12:10 (NLT)

Three Ways People Who Belong to Christ Live Under Condemnation:

1.  You condemn yourself.

2.  Your archaeologist condemns you.

3.  The Accuser condemns you.

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John 8:32 (NLT)
