So I went to the adult evening service as I was going to the Stuart Townend concert afterwards and they were reading and preaching about the same verses as we looked at in my young adult group on the first night, but there were some more messages I took from this talk.
Romans 8:3
"For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh."
To overcome the pull of sin, we first need to understand our sin. We are weak to God's Law and God give his son in the likeness of us so that he could condemn the flesh and sacrifice for our sin, therefore what happened to Christ happened to us all as he carried ALL our sins.
Romans 8:9
"You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ."
The Spirit is a gift given from God. You cannot save yourself, you need to trust in Jesus to save you.
Proverbs 7:6-27
Romans 8:10
"But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness."
The pull of the sin is a battle as our freedom is not yet complete.
