048. Are you out of Fellowship with God? (Romans 1:8-15)
Manage episode 475471645 series 3534727
Continuing last weeks study, we explore the biblical truth about fellowship with God, challenging the common teaching that Christians can be "in and out" of fellowship based on behavior and sin.
• Examining Paul's letters to the Corinthians reveals he affirmed their secure standing with God despite their sinful behavior
• Understanding fellowship with God is based on His faithfulness, not our performance
• The Greek word for "called" in 1 Corinthians 1:9 is the same used in Romans 8:28, showing our secure standing
• Paul never taught Christians to continually ask for forgiveness to maintain fellowship with God
• Knowing fellowship is unbreakable completely transforms our prayer life, allowing complete honesty with God
• Walking by the Spirit means focusing on holy things rather than being preoccupied with sin
• Replacing sinful habits with holy ones comes from a renewed mind fixed on Christ
