| 0:00.0 | It's quite staggering, isn't it? When Jesus rose from the dead, he had me in mind, and he had |
| 0:06.3 | my salvation in mind. And eventually I would be born, and eventually the Holy Spirit would |
| 0:12.0 | regenerate me and make existentially true what was actually true when Jesus rose from the dead. |
| 0:28.3 | In Ephesians chapter 2, the Apostle Paul describes unbelievers as being dead in trespasses |
| 0:34.3 | and sins. How can someone go from spiritual death to life in Christ? |
| 0:40.3 | Hello, this is the Wednesday edition of renewing your mind. I'm Lee Webb, and I'm glad you can be with us today. |
| 0:46.3 | Today, as we hear the final message this week from Dr. Derek Thomas' series on Romans chapter 8, |
| 0:52.3 | we'll learn more about the work of the Holy Spirit. |

| 1:20.6 | It's a great encouragement and filled with gospel truth. |
| 1:24.4 | So how does the Holy Spirit make us alive with Christ? And what role does the Spirit play in our growth as believers? |
| 1:31.9 | Let's join Dr. Thomas now. |
| 1:36.2 | Welcome back to our studies in Romans 8, the greatest chapter in the Bible. And we're going to look at verses 9 through 11. But before we do that, |
| 1:47.7 | I want to go back to verse 8, because surprising as this may sound, verse 9 follows verse 8 in more |
| 1:56.3 | ways than one. And verse 8 says, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. And that's one of those |
| 2:03.3 | definitive statements that you find in the Bible, those who are in the flesh, those who are in |
| 2:10.3 | Adam, those who are still dead in trespasses and in sins, those who are not born again, those |
| 2:16.8 | who are not in union with Christ, those who are not born again, those who are not in union with Christ, |
