Touch me, and make me whold.

Come in Your strength and Your power,
Come in Your own gentle way.

60. The Holy Spirit is mentioned nineteen times in this chapter
Paul here introduces us to the work of the Holy Spirit in sanctification

61. Sanctification Genuine Christians belong to God
Genuine Christians are called to be holy
Genuine Christians are being gradually transformed – “from glory to glory” into the image of the Lord Jesus Christ

62. This process – continuing from the time we accept Christ as our Saviour and Lord – is achieved by the work of the Holy Spirit
in the life of the individual
This process we identify as sanctification

63. 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life
(NLT)

[Who gives deliverance!!]
The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.

65. In spite of all Paul’s shortcomings depicted in chapter seven,
Paul has supreme confidence

inherent in his salvation.

74. So now there is no condemnation…
Romans 8
So now there is no condemnation…
Debt of sin paid – in full
Cleansed “from all unrighteousness”
Joint heirs with Christ
Disciplined as a beloved child of God

76. So now there is no condemnation… for those who belong to Christ Jesus.
2 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. 

78. We “belong” to Christ in the same way that a branch belongs to the vine
As the branch receives life-giving sustenance from the vine, so Christ’s life-giving Spirit is at work in the follower of Christ

80. . 3 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.

81. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us
by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins

83. 6 For when we were still without strength,
Romans 5
6 For when we were still without strength, 
in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 
7 For scarcely for a righteous man
will one die;

84. yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates His own love
toward us,
in that while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.

86. . 4 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.

88. What Next?
The believer’s freedom from sin results in their present and ultimate sanctification – so live it
Being indwelt by the Holy Spirit is not a mark of special maturity or spirituality but the mark of every true Christian, without exception – so be a fruit bearer

89. (based on) Dr. John MacArthur
What Next?
A genuine Christian will commune with their heavenly Father in prayer – so pray
A Christian is taught by the Holy Spirit, but is obligated to seek the Spirit’s guidance and help – so seek

91. 29“The first of all the commandments is:
Mark 12
29“The first of all the commandments is: 
‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your mind,
and with all your strength.’ 

92. This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this:
‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no other commandment
greater than these.”

100. LIFE
In the Spirit

101. According to the Westminster Shorter Catechism (Q
According to the Westminster Shorter Catechism (Q. 35), sanctification is “the work of God’s free grace, whereby we are renewed in the whole man after the image of God, and are enabled more and more to die unto sin, and live unto righteousness.” It is a continuing change worked by God in us, freeing us from sinful habits and forming in us Christlike affections, dispositions, and virtues. It does not mean that sin is instantly eradicated, but it is also more than a counteraction, in which sin is merely restrained or repressed without being progressively destroyed. Sanctification is a real transformation, not just the appearance of one.
