the attitude of reckoning, whereas
progressive sanctification is based
on the attitude of yielding.

•mentally meditate on Christ and what he
has done for you
•spiritually resort to God in prayer for him
to strengthen you
•physically submit your members to doing
something in ministry that will occupy you

I. REDEMPTION FROM LEGALISM,
ROMANS 6:1-11
1. "Reckon," is the essential of
faith,11
2. "Let not," is the essential of
submission, 12
3. "Yield," is the essential of
consecration, 13
Thesis:
Salvation frees us for
spiritualwarfare between the two
natures in the believer.
Point 1.
If you could not keep the law to get
to heaven, you cannot keep the law
to get to holiness.
SEVEN TYPES OF FLESH
1) The soft substance of the body, not including bones
and blood, Gen 2:21
2) The whole physical body with the breath, Gen 6:17
3) The whole being of man in distinction from the
beasts, Gen 37:27
4) The whole human race, Gen 6:125) The whole
humanity of Christ, Heb 5:7
6) The body of Christ giving life, John 6:51
7) The body you were born in, Rom 7:25; 2 Cor 10:3
Point 2.
Legalism breeds carnality.
Point 3.
The Holy Spirit gives you the
lifenecessary to keep his law.
AXIOM OF TRUE SPIRITUALITY
To say you must sin is to deny the word
of God, to say you cannot sin is to
deceive yourself, but to say you need
not sin is to state God's provision.
Point 3.
The Holy Spirit gives you the
lifenecessary to keep his law.
DEFINITION:
Concupiscenceis unlawful desire for
sexual pleasure, or abnormal desire
for worldly goods.
POINT 4.
God gave the law to convict us
of our carnality by displaying
the demands of his holiness.
POINT 5.
Part of the consequence of carnality
is that we go back into bondage and
cannot get out of what we at first
willingly chose.
POINT 6.
We learn from the law that Jesus was
the only one to fulfill it.
• When I look into my heart and
perceive its infinite wickedness I
think it's a pit deeper than Hell.
—Jonathan Edwards
• I cannot pray, but I sin; I cannot hear, or
preach a sermon, but I sin; I cannot give an
alms, or receive the sacrament, but I sin; no,
I cannot so much as confess my sins, but my
confessions are still aggravations of them. My
repentance needs to be repented of, my tears
need washing, and the very washing of my
tears needs still to be washed over again with
the blood of my Redeemer.
—John Berridge,
English revivalist, 1716-1793
POINT 7.
A Christian may deceive himself for
a time, but he can't end up justifying
himself.
THREE THINGS ABOUT SINNING
1. Paul admits he is accountable for
his own actions (Rom 6)
2. Paul admits he will reap from his
actions (Gal 6)
3. Paul admits he is not really
committing the sins (Rom 7:17)
Point 8.
The most certain proof you are a
Christian is a love for God and a
simultaneous struggle with sin.
Point 9.
Perfection is not possible in this life,
only perfecting warfare is.
Point 10.
Now that the soul has been cut-away
from the flesh, the operation of the
Bible in the life of the believer will
progressively remove it from sight.
