055. Sinners will not inherit Life (Romans 1:29-32)

As Christians we can walk by the Spirit rather than being consumed by sin and its destructive influence on our lives and communities.

• Sin is what happens when separated from God, leading to a lack of peace, love, and fulfillment
• Walking by the Spirit means being guided by God rather than turning to ourselves
• Sexual immorality receives particular emphasis in Paul's teachings as it involves sinning against our own bodies
• Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, not our own possession but bought with a price
• Christians are called to a higher standard, but from freedom rather than legalistic obligation
• Within the church, attitude toward sin matters—pride in sin requires correction while struggling with sin deserves support
• Repentance (changing our mind about sin) naturally leads to behavior change
• The fruit of the Spirit comes from freedom in Christ, not from following rules
• Our union with God cannot be broken, improved, or changed—Christ is our rock
