Romans Chapter 8 states that because of the finished work of Christ, the believer is free from all condemnation (Rom 8:1–11). It then says that by means of the continuing work of the Spirit, the believer is free from the dominion of sin (Rom 8:12–27). It concludes that on the basis of God’s sovereign and eternal plan, the believer is free as a result of the defeat of sin (Rom 8:28–39). This book was originally a set of notes given out at the October 2009 Kansas Conference.

Secure In Christ #4
Work of the Spirit at salvation. Peter failed several times but Jesus restored him (Joh 13:37-38, Joh 14:1). Five things Spirit did for us at salvation:
- Baptism of the Holy Spirit (1Co 12:13) unites us and identifies us with Jesus Christ.
- Baptism provides Regeneration -- We have been cleansed (Tit 3:4, Eph 5:26, Col 2:13).
- Spirit dwells in us (Rom 8:9-11, Joh 14:15-18).
- Gives a Spiritual Gift which is a manifestation of the Spirit (1Co 12:4-7, 1Pe 4:10-11).
- We are sealed unto the Day of Redemption (Eph 1:13-14, Eph 4:30).
The Spirit continues to work in us after salvation. If we are a new creature (2Co 5:17) we were created to change our world.
