Derek Thomas: The Spirit Is Life

When God saves us, He does not merely pardon us and declare us righteous. By His grace and by the work of the Holy Spirit, He also enables us to follow Him and to become more and more like Christ. In this session, Derek Thomas focuses on Romans 8:5-11 and the work of the Spirit in freeing people from the dominion of sin and in empowering our growth in holiness.

I have a good friend, I thought. A Lutheran pastor. Well trained in the word, some Greek, maybe apologetics and other seminary courses. He told me about a month ago that a true believer can loose their salvation. That was the last time I had seen my friend. I as Dr. Thomas also have many Holy bibles (everywhere). I attended a Lutheran church yet I was tuned toward R.C many years ago from another Baptist friend and became very familiar with Ligonier and many doctrines...Thank you all and always God first. The whole point of this is...Dr. Thomas talking about Nicodemus with all his knowledge yet not understanding. It struck a cord to say the least. Is it possible that even an ordained minister can fall into this category? Well, the answer has already been revealed. Very interesting. Great lesson as always. I can sure see it around me. And many times it was me..Thank you again

The summary of Romans 8 is this;those who follow their sinful desires will die and are condemned. However, those who live according to the Spirit and are to a high degree spiritually minded and live according to the Spirit live and are not under condemnation.

Hi Ligonier, thank you for all thee messages over the years. Just a note, from this message to the end of the conference, the videos are not public and have way less views. Maybe they were accidentally published as unlisted

[@solemnexistence]

My goodness! You fixed it and the results were immediate 😱

[@brianbarber4131]

Right, so why so many ads placed for such a video proclaiming to be from the word of God????

Amen Thomas. I agree with the mind aspect that you brought forward. I dont agree with with statement about Jesus looking like Mary, He was knit together by God, and where does it say that in the Bible? God bless you all.

He was being humorous. A dry British humor to break the monotony. That’s his style.
