<ul>
<li>Review
<ul>
<li>Question: Shall we sin so that grace might abound?</li>
<li>Answer: Absolutely not</li>
<li>We are united with Christ in His death</li>
<li>We are united with Christ in His resurrection</li>
<li>We have a new life</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Analysis of <a id="si_2" onclick="return mV('Rom',6,'5-6');">Rom 6:5-6</a>
<ul>
<li>"Since we have united together in the likeness of His death"
<ul>
<li>The union
<ul>
<li>Growing together</li>
<li>A joined growth becoming one</li>
</ul></li>
<li>The likeness
<ul>
<li>Our physical death and resurrection are not identical with His</li>
<li>What has happened to Him literally happens to us spiritually
<ul>
<li>This does not primarily refer to our literal bodily resurrection</li>
<li>This refers to our present Christian life while we are still here in this world</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>The new life
<ul>
<li>We are no longer in the old life under the ruling power of sin
<ul>
<li>We died out of it</li>
<li>We have risen out of it</li>
</ul></li>
<li>We are now under the rule of grace and the reign of grace is so powerful that sin has been defeated</li>
<li>There is a secondary application to our future resurrection &#8212; <a id="si_3" onclick="return mV('2Ti',2,'11-12');">2Ti 2:11-12</a>,
<a id="si_4" onclick="return mV('2Ti',2,19);">19</a></li>
</ul></li>
<li>The crucifixion of the "old man"
<ul>
<li>It has happened in the past
<ul>
<li>We should know this</li>
<li>We were crucified with Him</li>
<li>This is revealed knowledge</li>
<li>This knowledge is certain</li>
<li>It is not our trying</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Our "old man"
<ul>
<li>The man that I used to be in Adam
<ul>
<li>I was a man in Adam</li>
<li>Now I am a man in Christ</li>
<li>This not the eradication of our sin nature</li>
<li>This is a positional change</li>
<li>This crucifixion is not a process
<ul>
<li>Christ died once</li>
<li>The man that I was in Adam died with Him &#8212; <a id="si_5" onclick="return mV('Gal',2,'20');">Gal 2:20</a></li>
<li>The man that was in Adam
<ul>
<li>Born under the law</li>
<li>Born in sin</li>
<li>Born under condemnation</li>
<li>That man is dead</li>
</ul></li>
<li>The new man
<ul>
<li>In Christ</li>
<li>No condemnation</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Relationship of
<a id="si_6" onclick="return mV('Eph',4,'1-');">Eph 4</a>
"put off" and "put on"
<ul>
<li>Do not go on living as if you were still that old man &#8212; he has died</li>
<li>Be what you are &#8212; you are the new man</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Illustration &#8212; Don't live like a baby when you are a man</li>
<li>Know this
<ul>
<li>Something to believe</li>
<li>Something to receive by faith</li>
<li>This is an action of the Holy Spirit which is non-experimental</li>
<li>I know because God said it
<a id="si_7" onclick="return mV('Rom',4,'18-21');">Rom 4:18-21</a></li>
<li>I believe regardless of how I feel &#8212; <a id="si_8" onclick="return mV('Rom',8,1);">Rom 8:1</a></li>
<li>We do not take on experience by faith &#8212; we are taking the objective truth by faith</li>
<li>Knowing it &#8212; believing it &#8212; being aware of it &#8212; I can now see proofs of the new life within me</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>The result of the crucifixion of the old man in Adam
<ul>
<li>In order that the body of sin might be rendered ineffective
<ul>
<li>Our physical body of which sin has taken possession</li>
<li>Sin as it dwells in us in our present embodied condition</li>
<li>The body itself is not sinful</li>
<li>Bodily instincts are not sinful</li>
<li>Sin influences and affects the body</li>
<li>Sin governs the body
<ul>
<li>Bodily instincts out of proportion</li>
<li>The body becomes our idol</li>
</ul></li>
<li>The body of sin &#8212; being used and tyrannized by sin</li>
</ul></li>
<li>In order that the body of sin might be rendered ineffective
<ul>
<li>The purpose of salvation is to deliver us from the tyranny of sin &#8212; to be set completely free including our body</li>
<li>The object of salvation is that while in this world we may approximate complete freedom
<ul>
<li>The future redemption of the body &#8212; <a id="si_9" onclick="return mV('Rom',8,23);">Rom 8:23</a></li>
<li>The future glorification of the body &#8212; <a id="si_10" onclick="return mV('Rom',3,'20-21');">Rom 3:20-21</a></li>
</ul></li>
</ul></li>
<li>In order that we should no longer be slaves to sin
<ul>
<li>The man in Adam is a slave to sin &#8212; he has no freedom</li>
<li>The man in Christ is under the rule of grace &#8212; he has a new Master &#8212; Christ</li>
