1 “How the Spirit Leads to Growing In Holiness” Romans 8:9-17

2 The Christian Life Pilgrimage From “Just as I am…” To “Nothing Between My Soul and My Savior” Growing Securely in Love and IN His love is the roadway

3 1. The Spirit Indwells Us @ Rebirth As Our “Helper!” Complete indwelling @ one time – Acts 2:38 We can: * grieve the Spirit (Ephesians 4:30) * quench the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19) * resist the Spirit (Acts 7:51) All of which diminish His Lordship over us * dim His light in us * render us neutralized

4 The Spirit Works By Prompting Placing a burden (or assignment) Eph. 2:10 In ways consistent with the Word Allowing failure/ frustration in the flesh via hardships Coach Reed Suggs

5 He Works At Forming the Image of Jesus in Us – vs. 29 Get Sin OUT; righteous behavior IN So He convicts in these areas “Convict” means we see the same thing “Confess” means we say the same thing Goal: be “schooled” in these areas * conviction concerning sin patterns * conviction concerning judgment * conviction concerning righteousness (John 16:8-9)

6 How the Spirit Leads His leading confirms our sonship vs. 13 – put to death deeds of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21) Vs. 14- confirms your salvation/sonship “these are the sons of God” vs. 16 – “Spirit bears witness we are children”

7 How The Spirit Leads (cont’d) Vs. 15 – NOT slavery, “have to” religion (the law) that leads to fear in failures Rather: spirit of adoption = “Abba” “Daddy!” Establishes unity in the body… Ephesians 4:3 “being diligent to preserve unity” Acts 1:14 – “in one mind” Acts 2:1 – “they were all with one accord in one place” … to fulfill His purposes for His Church

8 The Spirit’s Ministry Brings Glory to Jesus Christ "He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you” (John 16:14). ** The Spirit’s concentration is always on Jesus being MAGNIFIED … not you! ** To facilitate THAT, He discloses the insights of Jesus to you to the degree you are receptive
