Verse set: The Simple Gospel of Paul: A Forgiveness Found Through Faith, a Forging of a Fresh Life, and a Focus on the Freedom of Others§↻

Description

  1. Sin entered the world through Adam (1 Corinthians 15:21-22).
  2. Although Adam was the first sinner, we are all guilty of sin against God (Romans 3:23).
  3. We will all have to give an account before God on the Day of Judgement (2 Corinthians 5:10).
  4. God knew that we all faced eternal condemnation because of our actions, and he set a plan in motion that would pay our sin debt and reconcile us with God (Romans 5:8-11).
  5. He paid the sin debt for the whole world on the cross and gave us the power to receive a new spirit in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:14-17).
  6. Although Christ paid every person’s sin debt through his atoning work on the cross, only those who accept this free gift of forgiveness will receive a new internal spirit from him (Ephesians 2:8-9).
  7. We do not, however, receive a new body as part of this free gift. Instead, we must take our sinful bodies and bring it into subjection to Christ’s will rather than our own fleshly desires (1 Corinthians 9:24-27).
  8. Likewise, we do not receive a new mind. Instead, we must renew our minds so that we can know what God’s will is for our lives (Romans 12:1-2).
  9. The believer renews his or her mind by doing two things. First, he or she follows the promptings of the Holy Spirit as he reminds us what God’s Word says in every situation (Galatians 5:16-18).
  10. Second, he or she recognizes which behaviors are contrary to the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:19-21).
  11. When we recognize that we are new creations in Christ, and we put our bodies and minds under the submission of the Son, and we follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives, we will walk in the fruits of the Spirit in our life (Galatians 5:22-25).
  12. This also allows us to stop sinning and walk in newness of life in Christ (Romans 6:1-4).
  13. We will also be empowered to walk in forgiveness and love to everyone around us (Colossians 3:11-14).
  14. Finally, because we recognize that everyone’s debt (including our own) is paid through the cross, we also recognize that we are now ministers of that message of reconciliation to the rest of the world (2 Corinthians 5:18-21).

Verses

  • 1 Corinthians 15:21-22: For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also came through a man. For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

  • Romans 3:23: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

  • 2 Corinthians 5:10: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be paid back according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or evil.

  • Romans 5:8-11: But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from God's wrath. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life? Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.

  • 2 Corinthians 5:14-17: For the love of Christ controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christ died for all; therefore all have died. And he died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised. So then from now on we acknowledge no one from an outward human point of view. Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, now we do not know him in that way any longer. So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away - look, what is new has come!

  • Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so that no one can boast.

  • 1 Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that all the runners in a stadium compete, but only one receives the prize? So run to win. Each competitor must exercise self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one. So I do not run uncertainly or box like one who hits only air. Instead I subdue my body and make it my slave, so that after preaching to others I myself will not be disqualified.

  • Romans 12:1-2: Therefore I exhort you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice - alive, holy, and pleasing to God - which is your reasonable service. Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God - what is good and well-pleasing and perfect.

  • Galatians 5:16-18: But I say, live by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh. For the flesh has desires that are opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires that are opposed to the flesh, for these are in opposition to each other, so that you cannot do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

  • Galatians 5:19-21: Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!

  • Galatians 5:22-25: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also behave in accordance with the Spirit.

  • Romans 6:1-4: What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase? Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.

  • Colossians 3:11-14: Here there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all and in all. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with a heart of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if someone happens to have a complaint against anyone else. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also forgive others. And to all these virtues add love, which is the perfect bond.

  • 2 Corinthians 5:18-21: And all these things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation. In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people's trespasses against them, and he has given us the message of reconciliation. Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His plea through us. We plead with you on Christ's behalf, "Be reconciled to God!" God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God.
