We have a tendency to forget the reality that we are in a grave spiritual war. This war is against the passions of the flesh, which wage war against our soul (1 Peter 2:11). Jesus Himself used wartime language: “If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.” (Matthew 5:29-30) Are you living with a peacetime mindset in the midst of this great war? If we have relaxed, sin has not. As John Owen famously said, “Be killing sin or it will be killing you.”

Take-Home Message: I wage war against the flesh by the Holy Spirit.

Hope is a core Christian Principal. Sometimes we use the word hope to indicate a desire or want like “I hope you feel better”. Christian hope is different; it is a confident expectation for the future. We have hope because God holds our future in His all-capable hands, what a great hope we have in Jesus Christ!

God is a God that raises dead people. The Bible is filled with accounts of resurrection stories, and the entire Christian message is built upon Christ’s resurrection. The possibility of resurrection is a message that the world desperately needs, because many people are dead: despite all the world’s pleasures and technology, there is an emptiness that reigns in hearts. Sadly, even many Christians live as if they are powerless to defeat sin and despair.

Romans 8:9-11 assures Christians that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in them. This not only means that we will rise to eternal life, but that we have the Holy Spirit, who empower our lives now: “If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.” (Rom. 8:11)

Take-Home Message: The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me.

The Spirit’s Proof: The Spirit of Christ in me proves that I belong to Christ (9).

Evidence that the Holy Spirit dwells in me:
I confess that Jesus is Lord.
I am obedient to the Spirit.
I bear the fruit of the Spirit.
I experience godly grief over sin.
I experience the Spirit’s inner witness of adoption and assurance.

The Spirit’s Power: The Spirit of God in me provides life to my mortal body (10-11).

When people ask for prayer, my first question is vital: 'Do they know Jesus?' This shapes our approach. If a spouse struggles with addiction, we pray for their salvation first, as that's the ultimate healing. They need Jesus.
