<p>The Response &#8212; The Realization &#8212; The Actualization<br>
The Holy Spirit living in us produces the life that pleases and honors God
</p>
<ul>
<li>Review <a id="si_2" onclick="return mV('Rom',8,'1-11');">Rom 8:1-11</a>
<ul>
<li>No condemnation through Christ</li>
<li>The sinful nature: Death</li>
<li>The Spirit in us: Life and peace</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Consideration &#8212; <a id="si_3" onclick="return mV('Rom',8,'12-14');">Rom 8:12-14</a>
<ul>
<li>The exhortation &#8212; <a id="si_4" onclick="return mV('Rom',8,12);">Rom 8:12</a>
<ul>
<li>"Since the Holy Spirit lives in you, do not live as if He does not"</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The explanation
<ul>
<li>No obligation to our sinful nature
<ul>
<li>The cause of our troubles</li>
<li>We owe it &#8212; Nothing</li>
<li>No claim &#8212; Free</li>
<li>No slavery</li>
<li>No indebtedness
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Our obligation is to the Lord
<ul>
<li>To the Holy Spirit</li>
<li>This is how we now live</li>
<li>Set free to live</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The practical outworking
<ul>
<li>It is not perfectionism
<ul>
<li>Early 1900's &#8212; holiness</li>
<li>Pentecostal</li>
<li>A sinless perfection thru an experience</li>
<li>A second blessing beyond justification</li>
<li>Must seek</li>
<li>Must qualify</li>
<li>Devastation &#8212; not biblical
<ul>
<li>Must adjust God and His Law</li>
<li>Must lie to self and others</li>
<li>Must deny grace</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>It is not crisis victory
<ul>
<li>Not instant victory that lasts forever</li>
<li>The deeper life higher etc.</li>
<li>Not an experience of total surrender</li>
<li>Not something new</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>It is a growth process
<ul>
<li>It is gradual</li>
<li>It is maturing</li>
<li>Not instant arrival</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>It is a life to life
<ul>
<li>The truth of <a id="si_5" onclick="return mV('Rom',8,'1-13');">Rom 8:1-13</a></li>
<li>Now live it out</li>
<li>Put it into practice and keep on and on</li>
<li>Do not wait for or seek an experience</li>
<li>Respond now!</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The precise approach
<ul>
<li>The realization and acknowledgement of biblical authority
<ul>
<li>The Holy Spirit lives in you and me</li>
<li>God lives in</li>
<li>The indwelling &#8212; <a id="si_6" onclick="return mV('1Co',6,'19-20');">1Co 6:19-20</a>;
<a id="si_7" onclick="return mV('1Co',3,16);">1Co 3:16</a></li>
<li>A fact!</li>
<li>For all believers &#8212; even Corinthians</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The actualization
<ul>
<li>Since I am a Christian I live like it</li>
<li>Since the Holy Spirit lives in me &#8212; I live accordingly</li>
<li>Not as though it is not true</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
