Embracing a Spirit-Led Life: Newness of Life with Rick Peterson
The normal Christian life is not that which Paul describes in Romans through, but he makes very clear in Romans, as his prelude to that section, that the Christian life, the normal Christian life for those who have died to sin, those who have died to the law, is to belong to another, namely him who rose from the dead on our behalf in order that we might bear fruit for God.
What does it mean to truly live a life led by the Spirit? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson takes us on a journey through the everyday life of a Christian, guided by grace and the Holy Spirit. This is part three of the series 'The Normal Christian Life', titled 'Newness of Life'. Peterson dives into the concept of living under grace, rather than being bound by the law.
He highlights that while the law can show us our shortcomings, it cannot save or sanctify us. Instead, it's the Holy Spirit that empowers, restrains, and sanctifies believers, allowing them to bear fruit for God. Rick emphasizes the importance of belonging to Christ and setting our minds on what the Spirit desires, not on the flesh. He offers practical advice on how to align your daily life with these spiritual principles.
Whether you're new to faith or looking to deepen your spiritual journey, this episode is packed with insights and encouragement to help you live a more Spirit-led life.
