Faith Changes
Romans 6:1-14
Faith in Jesus Christ Changes Us!

Faith Changes Us!
1. We can’t continue to sin     vs 1
-God’s abundant grace is not given to us so we can continue in abundant sin!
-Sin NEVER glorifies God- the end does not justify the means
-Once we are saved, we are forever changed to become like Jesus
-True believers begin to become who God has already made them
-Sanctification- the process of becoming freed from sin or purified

2. We are united with Jesus
-Born again
-Baptized into Christ vs 3
-Newness of life =we enter into a new sphere which is life,
        instead of death!   vs 4

3. Sin does not control us
-vs 6 Old self was crucified, killed
-body ruled by sin is rendered powerless
-vs 7 freed from sin
-vs 8-9 Christ’s death was our death, His resurrection was ours too!

4. We have a new life!
-vs 10 Christ died once for all, He now lives forever united with His
   Father
-vs 11 consider yourselves dead to sin! We must accept this truth!
-consider yourselves….alive to God in Christ Jesus!
   -We are alive spiritually, empowered to say no to sin!
   -this is “in Christ Jesus”= in a personal relationship with Him
     -He is the Savior, but must also be OUR PERSONAL Savior!

How to experience faith changes
1. Put your faith in Jesus Christ alone
-the just will live by faith   Romans 1:17; 3:26
-we are saved by grace, a gift, not through obeying God

2. Stop obeying sin
-vs 12 Therefore- since God saved us by His abundant grace
    -do not let sin be in control of your body!
    -sin is powerless, stop saying yes to sin!
-2 Corinthians 5:15 we live for Jesus now, instead of for ourselves
-Faith changes a person! -No change might indicate no real faith!

3. Submit fully to Christ vs 13
-We live in an ongoing spiritual battlefield!
-our body can be used for evil or godliness
   -we are either helping or hurting the cause of Christ with our lives
-Stop letting Satan use any part of your life to fight against God
-Let God use every part of your life to fight for His perfect will

4. Trust God by faith! Vs 14
-don’t turn sanctification into legalism
-We are “under grace” now as a follower of Jesus Christ
   -We have the power to overcome sin
   -The Holy Spirit is now living inside us, to show us what to do
-John 14:15-17, 23-25 If we love Jesus, we will keep His commands
-John 16:12 “…He [the Holy Spirit] will guide you into all the truth”

Unbeliever- place your faith in Jesus Christ right now!

Believer- Let Faith Change You day by day!
-stop justifying all the reasons why you can’t stop sinning

Imposter- wake up! The Holy Spirit is convicting you of sin!
-Your faith is fake, you must turn to Christ today!
-Make a real commitment to follow Jesus Christ, stop playing games
   -stop trying to follow rules to impress God

Make your decision real and public Today!

Who's Your One, Part 3: Whatever It Takes

2/16/2020

Who's Your One from North American Mission Board on Vimeo.

February 16, 2020: When you think of someone far from God, who’s the first person who comes to mind? Is it a neighbor? Coworker? Parent? No matter who it is, God can use you to reach them.

Today, Pastor Greg Byman delivers the third installment in a series called, "Who's the One" and is based on a national campaign of churches to challenge and inspire the body of Christ to reach neighbors, co-workers, friends and family with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to do this one at a time, by focusing not on the multitudes who don't know Christ, but instead on just one--your One. Who is your One?
