We have been saved from the PENALTY of SIN • 8:1 “ there is now no condemnation • It was the law that condemned us • God sent his Son to bear our condemnation 2. We are being saved from the POWER of SIN Rom 8: 11, 13,15 • The spirit that raised up Jesus dwells in us, and gives us life (spiritual) • We are not under bondage / slavery anymore • We have the power to put to death sin / the deeds of the body 3. We will be saved from the PRESENCE of SIN Rom 8:18,19,23 • V 19 we wait with earnest expectation / eager longing for the Revelation • V 21 the whole creation itself will be set free from the bondage of corruption” • V 23 we groan, as we wait eagerly for the redemption of our bodies – WE WILL BE DELIVERED The Doctrine of Being Saved from Sin 1. We have been saved from the PENALTY of SIN – The Doctrine of the CROSS • The cross is where our sins were dealt with, where Jesus Christ condemned sin in the flesh • God’s condemnation against sin (for the world) was poured out on Jesus at the cross • Isaiah 53:10 / John 12:31 / I Peter 2:24 / Romans 5:8 / I Cor 15:3 • He bore our sins, He gave us His righteousness, we are justified, acquitted of guilt, • Every soul believing in Jesus will never be condemned, never to perish, and never to be ashamed 2. We are being saved from the POWER of SIN – The Doctrine of the RESSURECTION • We died, were buried and raised with Jesus Christ to walk in new life – Free to have POWER over Sin • He has won our VICTORY – abolished (destroyed death) hell and the grave – defeated Satan • Declared the Son of God with POWER, ratified our justification, and guaranteed our resurrection • His resurrection gives us the assurance of all His promises (the power) live life now – eternal hope • Rom 1:4 / Roman 4:25/ Heb 2:15/ 2 Tim 1:10 / John 14:19 3. We will be saved from the PRESENCE of SIN- The Doctrine of The SECOND COMING OF CHRIST • When He comes he will change this vile body to be fashioned like His glorious body – Phil 3:21 • Last enemy to be destroyed is death, this corruption will put on incorruption / immortality I Cor 15:53 • All that are IN CHRIST will be raised / changed / glorified / … at His Coming I Cor 15: 23
