RIGHETOUSNESS EXPERIENCED IN THE SOUL

e.	The Two Headships: Here we have the whole matter of righteousness experienced by the human soul dealt with by a comparison of two representative headships: Adam and Christ.

f.	Our forefather, Adam, as the first representative man, plunged the whole human family into sin and death, from which man could not of himself escape.

g.	Through the last representative man, and his obedience to God, there came eternal life.

2.	Romans Chapter Six 

a.	Our Death With Christ: Death once our enemy is now actually made to minister to the believer, the benefits of Christ's victory over the tomb.

b.	Two Reckonings: 
•	I do not recognize the old man, which is crucified with him. I count myself as being dead unto sin.
•	The believer not only reckons himself to be dead but he also must see himself as alive unto God through Jesus Christ.

c.	Two Yieldings:
•	First, the inner life
•	Then the members

d.	Man's Choice: He chooses as his master either sin or God.

e.	Sin is a deceiver, it offers life and ends up paying death

f.	On the other hand, the free gift of God offers eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

3.	Romans Chapter Seven

a.	Paul gave the death struggle of self

c.	Why live in the seventh chapter trying to justify sinfulness when the Spirit will take over the conflict and conquer the flesh

4.	Romans Chapter Eight

a.	Victory in Jesus: It begins with no condemnation and ends with no separation

b.	The secret victory brought out here, is being in Christ

c.	There is a great difference between being in the flesh and being in the spirit.

d.	The flesh is hostile to God and unwilling to subject itself to His law, while the Holy Spirit produces a way of thinking which ends in life and peace

e.	Immorality: A body made alive by the Holy Spirit becomes immortal

f.	Abba Father: ''Abba, Father'' is half-Ararnaic and half-Greek showing that both Jew and Gentile might be adopted into the family of God and cry out Father

RIGHETOUSNESS AND PERMENANT BLESSING

5.	Pray With Groanings:

a.	Following adoption into the family of God there comes adaptation to the family of God

b.	A Christian must know how to yield himself to the Spirit and to express the longings that arise from within.

d.	The Christian groans with deep longings for the return of Jesus

e.	The child of God only prays effectively when God's Spirit moves upon him

f.	The Holy Spirit helps him and enables him to live in Christ, victoriously

6.	No Separation From God’s Love:

a.	God who commenced the work of grace, will not allow it to be interrupted and will take care that it issues in final glory

b.	There is no condemnation and no separation from the love of God in Christ.

c.	This does not mean that the Christian is still not a person of free choice and of his own will, he may turn his back upon God if he chooses

7.	Predestination:
a.	We have it taught that predestination is based directly upon the foreknowledge of God
b.	Foreknowledge no more determines facts than after knowledge
