Lesson 257: EXCEPT THE CORN DIE

INTRODUCTION:
We want to look at the number one of our divine liberty and how effectively it can be overcome. May the Lord Almighty teach us in Jesus Name. Amen.

1. THE NEED TO PLACE THE ADAMIC NATURE

A Christian can only be fruitful in the degree that he dies to self, what Christ requires of is not only yielding our soul to Him for salvation, but the yielding of our complete ego that he may give us abundant life. As Christians we have two natures, the carnal man is against the things of the spirit of God.

John 12:24-25; 1 Cor. 15:36; Gal. 5:19-21; Phil. 3:7-8; Rom. 6:11; Col. 3:3; 1 Kings 13:4-6; Rom. 7:5-6; Rom. 7:23; 1 Cor. 2:13-14; Matt. 16:23.

2. THE SECRET OF VICTORY OVER ADAMIC NATURE

It is getting rid of the flesh and putting on the new man, i.e. To be crucified daily, there are three crucifixions, the body of sin must be destroyed, spiritual circumcision must be done, by these the fruits of the spirit will manifest.

Eph. 4:22-24; 1 Cor. 9:27; Gal. 6:14; Gal. 2:20; Rom. 6:6; Col. 2:11; Rom. 6:18; Rom. 8:13-14; Phil. 3:3; Gal. 5:22-23.
