The meaning of being led by the Spirit in verse 14 is being led to kill sin in your life.

It's being led into the warfare.

So what does it mean to be led by the Spirit?

In this episode of Light and Truth, John Piper opens Romans 8, 13, and 14

to show how the Spirit leads believers into the battle against sin and confirms their identity as God's children.

This sermon was originally delivered at Bethlehem Baptist Church on April 14, 2002.

O Father in heaven, we love to call you that. Father, Abba.

So we cry out to you now.

Manifest your fatherhood to all your children here.

Grant the testimony of the Holy Spirit would be given in power and great measure in this room, in this hour.

Thank you for the sweet moments in song and in truth and in the body of Christ.

High pleasures these are.

Someday there will be a sickness betake us.

And we will want to be here so badly and will not be able to come.

So may we so worship that in those days and in perhaps that last hour,

you would fulfill the cry when I come to die.

Give me Jesus.

Lord Jesus, endear yourself to every soul in this room, I pray,

so that we can say authentically, you may have all this world.

Just give me Jesus.

Lord, make that the heart cry of every person in this room, I pray.

Unbelievers, draw them in.
