Conformity to Christ
Sunday, July 10, 2011

References: Romans 8

The central role of the Holy Spirit in each believer's life is being explained in this section of Paul's letter to the Romans. The Spirit's work begins with regeneration and will culminate in glorification. This working out of God's plan of salvation for the believer is their conformity to Jesus Christ. There are two aspects of this conformity. The future aspect is the transformation of the physical body to one like Christ's resurrected body. The Spirit also works to bring about conformity to the character of Jesus Christ. This transformation begins at the moment of regeneration by the Spirit and continues until final glorification. This process takes place as the Word of God is being learned, submitted to, and applied by the Holy Spirit to the heart and mind of the believer.

Titus 2:11-14

Past, Present and Future Grace CD
The grace of God, past, present, and future is the believer's blessed hope. The grace of God has appeared in the person and work of Jesus Christ. That grace in the past provided salvation of sinners who will come to God by faith alone, in Christ alone. The grace of God for the present, "now age" teaches and enables saved sinners to live consistent with their new character. Being so taught the believer lives a life of worship and obedience anticipating the future grace of God to reappear in the person of Jesus Christ. When He does, He will complete the transformation of believer's lives into perfect conformity with His character. The world may be falling apart but our great God and Savior is coming again. With that great hope we, who have been saved by the grace of His first appearing, endure, persevere, and rejoice, as we await His glorious return.
