“The How” - The fulfillment of the promise “You will live”…

Romans 6:11-14 (NIV)
11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

Count yourself dead to sin
- SO THAT -
Sin won’t reign

Do not offer any part to sin
BECAUSE: Sin no longer needs to be your master
BECAUSE: Not under law, but under Grace

Two Training Methods / Two Wings

Training unto What?  Holiness 

Titus 2:11-14 (NIV)
11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Salvation — Sanctification — Glorification

Salvation - Right things IN (“Redeem”)

Sanctification - Wrong things OUT (“Purify”)

1) Denying
2) Living (Soberly, Righteously, godly)
3) Looking

Hebrews 12:4-14 (NIV)
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”
7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.
9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!
10 They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.
11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.
13 “Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

ENCOURAGEMENT
for those struggling with (fighting against) sin
for those aiming at holy living

IF we submit to our Father we:
- Don’t scorn His discipline
- Don’t lose heart (thinking he despises us)
- Endure hardship AS discipline
- Are TRAINED by it

Grace Trains Unto Holiness
Discipline Trains Unto Holiness

Promise - “That You Might Live”
