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.

The Amazing Race 2
The race is won based on our relationship with God by faith (Heb 12:1-3, Jam 1:2). Faith works in us (1Th 2:13). Endurance is paramount in Christian life (Jam 5:7-11, Act 14:22). James directs our attention to Job's endurance. Outline of James can be found in Jam 1:19. Believers admonitions similar to Heb 1(Jam 1:21-22).
Scripture References: James 1:21-22, James 1:19, Acts 14:22, James 5:7-11, James 1:2, Hebrews 12:1-3
From Series: "The Amazing Race"
Heb 12:1-3 says we're in the arena God has predetermined for us. We have our own personal race. We start the race when we become Christians. The race will be finished. We race against ourselves (Spirit vs flesh). The end is evaluated by Jesus Christ.
