Overcoming temptation and hard times in the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He was full of the Spirit when he began and he went through the temptation in the power of the Holy Spirit.
One of the things we must learn in the Christian life is "how to kill sin." As John Owen put it "be killing your sin or it will be killing you." Last night in our study we looked at Romans 8 "the great 8." And part of the emphasis was on Romans 8:13

The same power of God's Word, by which all things were created in the
beginning, begets a new life in the
believer.
We receive Christ by believing on Him: But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the
sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. John 1:12.

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

HANUMAN STORIES: TIMELESS TEACHINGS FOR TODAY’S WORLD
Sbs Class February 1 2009
1. Welcome to “Learning and Living the God-centered life” Carmel Baptist Church www.learningandlivingtheword.com February 1, 2009
2. Point #1 Regeneration is initiated and done by God alone. We see this in the word “born again” which could be translated born from above, according to the translator notes In both John 3:3 and John 3:7 the verb for born “gennao” is in the passive voice. The passive voice conveys the idea that the SUBJECT is being ACTED UPON by an OUTSIDE force or power. SUBJECT is the RECIPIENT or the RECEIVER of the verbal action or effect. Here are some other verses that will support this point that God initiates and alone is responsible for a person’s new birth.

5. Luke 15:32 But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.
6. Titus 3:3 For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. Titus 3:4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, Titus 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, Titus 3:6 whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, Titus 3:7 so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
7. Eph. 2:1 ¶ And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, Eph. 2:2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Eph. 2:3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. Eph. 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, Eph. 2:5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

9. Point #3 Regeneration is accomplished by the Spirit in replacing a heart of stone with a heart of flesh. Turn to Ezekiel 36:24-28
10. 24 " 'For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh . 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 You will live in the land I gave your forefathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God.
11. Keep in mind that the Spirit is working in order to glorify the Son. John 16:13-14 - “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. “ He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. The Spirit reveals Christ to you through God’s word in order that you will have a passionate affection for and a treasuring of Him.
12. Point #4 Regeneration and justification are two sides of the same coin. The Spirit connects a person to Christ through the cleansing of sins and declaration of their righteousness before God through faith. From the perspective of the Spirit John 6:63 - It is the Spirit who gives life ; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. Again we can see from this statement that is telling us what we learned in John 3:6 and John 3:8 , that it is the Spirit who gives life. John 3:6 - That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:8 - The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit ."
13. From the perspective of Christ John 14:6 - Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 6:48 “I am the bread of life.” When we come to Jesus as the one who can satisfy our spiritual hunger, then He gives to us life. The theme for the gospel of John: John 20:31 - but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. If you are not connected to Christ then you will have NO life.
14. So the Spirit gives life and Christ gives life - right? Then how does this work from a Biblical point of view? The Spirit works in a way that causes a believer to be connected to the vine (Christ - John 15) Therefore we could say that the Spirit via supernatural surgery unites the believer to Christ and then the life starts to flow. And how is it that we experience this at the conscious level in our lives? Answer - it is by faith! If there is no faith present then there is no life present.
15. Point #5 Regeneration is rooted or grounded in the mercy and kindness of God Eph. 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, Titus 3:4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,
