2 Corinthians 10:3–5
Romans 8:1–11
Romans 1:18–25, 29-32
Opening Statement
The call to Christ is a call to a new life.
This new life begins with a new mind.
The mind that resists transformation becomes a hostile mind.
Point 1
The hostile mind is set on the old ways.
Romans 8:7
Point 2
The hostile mind knows but doesn’t believe.
Romans 1:18–25
Point 3
The hostile mind cannot please God.
- If you cannot believe, you cannot trust.
- If you cannot trust, you cannot submit.
- If you cannot submit, you cannot please God.
Romans 8:7–8
Point 4
The hostile mind isn’t God’s plan for us because it leads to death.
The way of the Spirit, submission to God, is the way to life.
Romans 8:9–11
