Text: Romans 8:9-11
When we give our lives over to Christ, we have a new position in life. A transformation has taken place and our thinking has changed. We now have the Holy Spirit living in us and we are no longer controlled by our sin nature. New life has begun! We are brand new! We’ve been sealed with the Holy Spirit. Our identity has changed and we no longer operate in the flesh. Those who live in the flesh and desire the things of this world that are not godly, are not saved. The Holy Spirit is our Guide. He will guide us into ALL Truth! If we had an addiction when we accepted Jesus, He delivered us! He did the work! We just need to trust Him and believe what He did on the cross. . .the finished work! There is Power in the blood of Jesus! If you’re questioning your salvation, ask yourself these things: Have I seen a tranformation in my life? Do I see the fruit of the Spirit in my life? Is God being glorified in my life? Do I live differently now than before I accepted Jesus as my Savior? Do I desire godly things over worldly things? When we truly belong to God, we owe the flesh nothing! We are not that person anymore. We’ve been set free and covered by the blood of Jesus! We are brand new in Christ!
