The New Way of the Spirit (v 6)

2. Recognize the indwelling Spirit of Jesus in
you.
Romans 89, 11 (NASB) However, you are not in the
flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of
God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have
the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him
11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus
from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ
Jesus from the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.

One of the most surprising discoveries in my own
study of the doctrine and experience of the
Spirit in the NT is what I can only call the
shyness of the SpiritWhat I mean here is not the
shyness of timidity but the shyness of deference,
the shyness of a concentrated attention on
another it is not the shyness (which we often
experience) of self-centeredness but the shyness
of an other-centeredness. Frederick

As the only way in which we can obtain
deliverance from the law is by the death of
Christ, so is the exercise of faith in Him
essential to holiness. When we lose our
confidence in Christ, we fall under the power of
the law, and relapse into sin. Everything
depends, therefore, upon our maintaining union
with Christ. Apart from me ye can do nothing.

Romans 84 in order that the requirement of the
Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk

the flesh. Ephesians 518 And do not get drunk

• Intimacy with God

Romans 81517 (NASB) For you have not received a
spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you
have received a spirit of adoption as sons by
which we cry out, Abba! Father! 16 The Spirit
Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are
children of God, 17 and if children, heirs also,
heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ.
