Romans 8:
13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"
16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then heirs-heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Heirs of God- His children
Through suffering with Him
Luke 9:23
And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
2 Tim.3:12
Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
Through discipline
Heb.12:6
For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives."
We have the Holy Spirit
How? By hearing the word
Romans 10:
17: So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Spirit bears witness
1 John 3:
24: Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
Flesh living- you will die
Romans 8:13
13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Spirit living-make war on flesh-you will live
War on sin-Fight the flesh
Hate sin-its a ongoing fight
We cry out to God, Abba Father Aramaic translation(daddy)
Shown by the spirit to be Sons of God when we cry out in anguish to God about our sin and repent
Your inheritance
Inherit the world-heir to the world
Gal.3:29
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
Romans 5:2
Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Glory to God
Ps.73
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 For behold, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
28 But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
You will have a glorified body
Phil.3:
20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
Suffer with Him
1 Pet.4:13
But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
Luke 9:23
And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
All things are yours
1 Cor.3:21
So let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
Spirit led
1 Cor.12:3
Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus is accursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except in the Holy Spirit.
16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Thanks John!!!
