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.

Ephesians #16

Ephesians #16

We need to see Jesus Christ character in order to become like Him -- to "walk worthy of our calling" (Eph 4:1-2). Mat 11:25-29 you have to become a child to believe the truth -- totally depend upon Him. "Take my yoke" - school of learning - "for I am gentle and humble in heart". Mat 12:19 He didn't quarrel nor cry out. Eph 4:1-32 is a school intended to reflect Christ's character; Eph 4:2 illustrates. "lowly" means dependent; "gentleness" refers to power under control; "long-suffering" means to have a short fuse. Luk 1:46-55 Mary expresses this character while speaking of the coming Savior.

More than any book Ephesians reveals the blessings from God based on our relationship with Jesus Christ by grace through faith. Eph 1:3 is the a key verse. Other key verses by chapter include Eph 2:8 Eph 3:19 Eph 4:1 Eph 5:18 and Eph 6:10-11.
