The Season of Pentecost is an extraordinary time in which we are mindful of the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Today we focus on the work of the Holy Spirit enabling us to move away from the past and into the future… to learn to let go of our sinful pasts and instead be alive to God’s future. It is important to understand that details are critical. The way things are worded is essential. In our text today there are several hints and details that Paul gives us that have far reaching. However, there is no fine print in the text today and there is no attempt to deceive…in fact the details are intended to clarify and explain the difference between a person whose life in faith is given to God and the life that is not. The epistle poses several comparisons that show the differences between those who are enslaved by their habits and those who are free in Christ. When Paul says, “Consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God” he is saying you now have a new way to live and that you no longer need to return to your old way of life. At the end of the day do you consider yourself dead to sin and alive to God or do you fall back into the old pattern and consider yourself alive to sin and dead to God? For many the Christian way of life is fear based, we need to keep the rules or God will punish us. But of new Christian life is grace based. Rather than being intimidated into being good out of fear, we are called in faith to live the new life of Christ.
Questions:
1. How does the work of the Spirit impact our lives? 2. What details does Paul share about our new
lives? 3. Why do we not live our of fear?
