11-15-09 Romans 8:12-15
(Romans 8:12 KJV) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. (Romans 8:13 KJV) For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (Romans 8:14 KJV) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:15 KJV) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (Romans 8:16 KJV) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

(Galatians 3:25 NASB) But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. (Galatians 3:26 NASB) For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:27 NASB) For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. (Galatians 3:28 NASB) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:29 NASB) And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise.

Turning The World Upside Down
Acts 17:1-15 The end of the American Revolutionary War was decided at Yorktown, Virginia, when General Charles Cornwallis of the British Army surrendered to General George Washington in 1781. This was such an unlikely outcome to the struggle for colonial independence that the defeated British army marched home to a song entitled "The World Turned Upside Down." As we know from history, The outcome of the Revolutionary War marks one of the most dramatic changes in world power that the world has ever seen. But, this change pales in comparison to the revolution that occurred during the first century with the entrance of Jesus Christ to this world. The coming of the Messiah meant that the world could never be the same again. The Book of Acts provides a historical record of this revolution, which centered around the birth and growth of the early church and the spread of the gospel from Jerusalem to Rome during the missionary journeys of the apostle Paul. Paul's second missionary journey provides us with two models that we can follow to accurately preach and discerningly hear God's Word. From verses 1-17 in the Book of Acts, we learn what it means to be 1. Truthbearers - Those who reason and explain the scriptures to others (vv. 1-9), and 2. Truthseekers - Those who receive and examine the scriptures (vv. 10-15) The early followers of Christ, led by the apostles and their disciples, upset many people with the life-changing truth of the gospel message. They turned the world upside down by boldly and accurately sharing the gospel message with everyone they encountered. Is this a fitting description of you? Have you upset people within your own sphere of influence by sharing the gospel with them? Have you boldly and graciously represented Christ, making Him known to them by your actions and behavior?

11-8-09 Galatians 3:19-24
(Galatians 3:19 KJV) Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. (Galatians 3:20 KJV) Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. (Galatians 3:21 KJV) Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. (Galatians 3:22 KJV) But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. (Galatians 3:23 KJV) But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. (Galatians 3:24 KJV) Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

11-8-09 Romans 8:8-11 "Live in the Spirit"
(Romans 8:8 KJV) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (Romans 8:9 KJV) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (Romans 8:10 KJV) And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. (Romans 8:11 KJV) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (Romans 8:12 KJV) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
