Ch 7:14 ..the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual
Ch 7:15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

Galatians 5:17
For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.

1. Rescued from sin

Why do we feel condemned?
What does it mean “in Christ Jesus”?
John 5:24
“I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.”

Justification
Pronounced as righteous, acquitted from guilt, on the ground of Christ’s death

2. Empowerment by the Spirit Romans 8:5-11
Two different mindsets

mindset
Do what the sinful nature desires Do what the Spirit desire
Ends in death
Life and peace
Hostile to God God lives in you
Does not submit to God’s Law The body is dead

Cannot please God

Does not belong to God
3. Adoption Romans 8:12-17
Sonship and New Relationship Roma 8:15-17
Sonship and New Relationship Roma 8:15-17
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave
again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry,
“Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s
children. Now if we are God’s children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and
co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may
also share in his glory.
Galatians 4:7
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir
John 15:20Galatians 4:7
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir
Remember the words I spoke to you:
‘No servant is greater than his master.’
If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.
