Dynamics of Grace: "Realm" Transfer & Identity
Salvation is so much more than we often imagine. Paul describes it as a "Realm Transfer" from one kingdom to another; from one rulership to another; from Adam to Christ. It also involves our death and resurrection with Christ and present walking in "newness of life".
Sermon Discussion Questions:
Why were we born guilty and condemned?
What does it mean that we were "in Adam"?
How can Paul say "you died to sin"?
How can he say that we rose and now walk in "newness of life"?
Is this real or just wishful thinking?
How can we know it is real?
What is our new identity that we are supposed to "reckon"?
What practical impact should it have on you that you are now under the "reign of grace"?
