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 #18

Ephesians #18

Mission report from India. Our spiritual gift establishes our place on the team (1Pe 4:7-11) -- for example, a speaking or ministry gift. Eph 4:11 lists the teaching/speaking gifts. Apostle and prophet were gifts to communicate divine truth prior to its writing. Teaching gifts are "for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ" (Eph 4:12). The team concept is illustrated in 1Co 12:18-21. We need every member. Christ, the head, can't say He doesn't need a particular member (1Co 12:21). We are saved apart from works unto works -- we are "saved to serve" (Eph 2:8-10).
