Being in Your Right Mind

THEME: Unsinkable

SERIES: A Lifeboat

TITLE: Being in Your Right Mind

Scripture: Romans 8: 12-17

 

I.    WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT ANYWAY?                                                        
 

Take a look at Romans 3:10. 3:20. 3:23

Let’s clear the air about sanctification:

1.      Sanctification is not (holy self-improvement).

2.      Sanctification does not mean (becoming sinless).

Sanctification comes from the word that means (to set apart).

An important truth to remember is that we have been set apart for God’s (purpose and use).  “We are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works.” Eph.2:10

 

II.   WHAT DOES A RIGHT MIND LOOK LIKE?

Romans 8:12-13 provides us with the answer.

1)      Not (according to the flesh).

2)      But (to the Spirit).

How do we live this life? Some Scriptural help:

1.      Recognize the (presence of sin) in our flesh.  (Ref. Romans 7:21)

2.      Have a heart (fixed on God).

3.      Meditate on (God’s Word).  “I have stored up your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” Psalm 119:11

4.      Communicate regularly with God (in prayer).

5.      Be (obedient).
