VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN LIFE OVER SIN
(Hamartiology : Doctrine Of Sin)
1. Every Christian Is Promised Victory To Overcome The World
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
2. Sin Cannot Conquer Us
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
3. Temptation Is Not Unbearable
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
4. Always We Will Gain The Victory
2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
5. Not Only Always Victory But Super Abundant Victory
Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
6. Spirit Filling Victory
John 7:38-39 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
* Filled so much until it comes our of us to effect others around us
SECTION 2: PRINCIPLE TO VICTORY
1. Faith
Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
2. Christ In Us Fights And Wins Against The Sin
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
3. Own Efforts Should Be Surrendered And Focus In Jesus Christ
Galatians 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
* To achieve a just life its not by our own efforts, its faith in Jesus. Once we do that, Jesus can keep giving us a just life
4. Elevate Jesus Up And We Completely Down
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
* Focus Jesus is the one who fights for us. Put ourselves down and Jesus elevated to become strong
SECTION 3: IDENTIFICATION
1. Death
Romans 6:5-6 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
2. Burial
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
3. Ressurection
Romans 6:5-6 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
4. Present Triumphal Life
Romans 6:4b, 6b, 8b, 10b Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
1. Know
Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Colossians 2:11-13 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
2. Reckon
Romans 6:7, 11 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
3. Yield
Romans 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
1. Choose Sin Or Righteousness
Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
2. Cannot Blame God
James 1:13-14 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
3. Freedom
Romans 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
4. Sin Grows Into Iniquity
Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
5. We Are Not Slave To Satan Anymore But To Jesus
Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
1. Confess Sin & You'll Be Cleansed
1 John 1:7, 9 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
2. God Can Use Our Failure For Good
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
3. Rely On Christ Alone
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
* Don't rely on past victories
