Peace to my dear brothers and sisters in God’s family! Amen
Let’s open our Bible to Romans chapter 6 verses 10-11 and read them together: He died to sin once; He lived to God. So also you must consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Today I will study, fellowship, and share with you - The Christian Pilgrim's Progress "Behold" sinners die, "behold" new ones live 》No. 2 speak! Pray: Dear Abba, Holy Heavenly Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you that the Holy Spirit is always with us! Amen. Thank you Lord! The virtuous woman [the church] sends out workers, through whose hands they write and speak the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, your glory, and the redemption of your body. Food is transported from the sky from afar and supplied to us at the right time to make our spiritual life richer! Amen. Ask the Lord Jesus to enlighten the eyes of our souls and open our minds to understand the Bible so that we can hear and see your words, which are spiritual truths→ Understand the Christian's spiritual journey: Believe in the old man's death and die with Christ; Believe in the "new man" and live together with Christ ! Amen.

【1】Watch the newcomers’ life
(1) If you live in Christ, you will not be condemned
There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ: There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. --Reference (Romans 8:1-2)
(2) Anyone born of God will never sin
Whoever is born of God does not sin, because the word of God abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Reference (1 John 3:9 and 5:18)
(3) Our life is hidden with Christ in God
For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, appears, you also will appear with him in glory. --Reference (Colossians 3:3-4)
(4) See the "new man" being renewed day by day in Christ
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; all things have become new. --Reference (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though the outer body is being destroyed, yet the inner body is being renewed day by day. --Reference (2 Corinthians 4:16)
For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ,... through whom the whole body is joined together, and every joint is fitted for its work, and each joint helps one another according to the function of the whole body, so that the body may grow in love. Build yourself in. --Reference (Ephesians 4:12,16)
【Note】" look "Live a new life→The life born of God is hid with Christ in God→Old things have passed away, and all things have become new→" look "Though the outer body is destroyed," look "But inwardly we are being renewed day by day. We are building up the body of Christ, in whom the whole body is held together and held together, with every joint serving its purpose and helping one another according to the function of each part, so that the body may grow and build itself up in love. ! Amen. So, do you understand clearly?
ask: The “new man” born of God cannot be seen, touched, or even felt. In this way, how to "see" the new life?
answer: No one in our generation has seen the resurrection of Jesus → we hear the gospel and believe "Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead! Jesus said to (Thomas) him: "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe." ”Reference (John 20:29)→→ letter died with Christ, letter Living with Christ → with spiritual eyes” look "missing" Newcomer "Look at living, spiritual people" spirit man "Live, live in Christ! It is in faith See with spiritual eyes , no Use outside See with the naked eye →→Use "" visible "Faith that regards the old man to death; use " Can't see " Faith sees the new ones alive ! It is more difficult to understand here. If you look at yourself with spiritual eyes, you can see → the new and the old!
[2] "See" the death of the old man → He was crucified, died and was buried with Christ
(1) Watch the old man die
He died to sin once; He lived to God. So also you must consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. --Romans 6:10-11.
Note: " letter "The old man is the death of the sinner → you listen to the sermon, understand the gospel, and believe the old man dies → such "knowledge";" look "The death of the old man → This is "knowledge", experiencing death and experiencing "the way of the Lord" → Jesus' death is activated in me, revealing the life of Jesus. Refer to 2 Corinthians 4:10-12
(2) Look at the behavior of the old man and die
For we know that our old self was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, so that we should no longer serve sin; - Romans 6:6
Do not lie to one another, for you have put off the old man and its practices - Colossians 3:9
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. --Galatians 5:24.
[Note]: The old man was crucified with the lusts of the flesh → "the lusts and desires of the old man" → The works of the flesh are obvious, such as adultery, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strife, jealousy, anger , factions, dissensions, heresies, jealousy (some ancient scrolls add the word "murder"), drunkenness, orgies, etc., have all been crucified. For example, "adultery" → If you see a woman and have lustful thoughts, then you have to "see" her to death, that is, "see" that the old man is dead. Because this is the evil desire and desire activated by the evil passions and desires of the flesh.
→such as " paul "He who says that there is no good thing in my flesh. It is not up to me to do good, but not to do it. I do not do the good that I want, but I do the evil that I do not want. → This is what Paul experienced → "See" The old man died - even the lusts of the flesh were crucified. Amen. Do you understand clearly? Reference - Galatians 5:19-21.
(3) Die by looking at the law
Because of the law I died to the law, that I might live to God. --Galatians 2:19
(4) Watch the world die
But I will never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. --Galatians 6:14
[Note]: " look "The old man dies," look "The death of sinners → this is the "knowledge" and experience of the Word of God → me" letter "Death is hearing and seeing book-biblical knowledge; I" look "Death is knowledge, experiencing the Lord's words, and practicing the Lord's ways → so" paul "Say! It is no longer me who lives now, it is Christ who lives for me. When it is no longer me who lives →【 look 】
1 Eye" look "Your own sin is dead,
2 " look "-The law and its curses are dead,
3 " look "-The old man and his deeds of the flesh, evil passions and lusts are dead,
4 " look "The power of dark Satan is dead,
5 " look "The world is crucified and dead,
6 " look "-The soul and body of the old man are dead,
7 " look "The new man is the living soul and body of Christ. Amen! Do you understand clearly?
Christians walk the spiritual journey and run for heaven → Carrie, who has left the teachings of Christ, forgets his back." Just call you " look "See the death of the old man, the death of sinners, the death of the old man's evil passions and selfish desires", strive forward and look to Christ→ Run straight to the cross .
Blessed are you who hear and understand this word and walk the spiritual path and run on the road to heaven. Look at how many churches are still there today" sin "If you can't get out, you must be reforming and correcting yourself in the old man every day through the law → modifying the flesh, blotting out sins, and cleansing sins → you have not left the beginning of the doctrine of Christ, but are still running in circles, just like the Israelites in the Old Testament. They were running in the wilderness, so they couldn't enter the land of Canaan. Do you understand that "the land of Canaan" typifies the kingdom of heaven?
