Reidhead Sermon Report

Sermon Overview

This sermon posits that the "Self" (the old man) cannot be reformed; it must be executed. Reidhead explains that the believer was legally "crucified with Christ," and spiritual life only begins when we "reckon" this as true, allowing the resurrected life of Jesus to live out through our physical bodies.

Key Principles

Legal Reality: Accept the historical fact that when Christ died, your "old self" legally died with Him.

Old Man vs. New Man: Stop trying to "fix" the old nature; put it off and "put on" the new nature of Christ.

Reckoning: Constantly "count" or account yourself as dead to sin and alive to God.

Not I, but Christ: Make it your daily mantra: "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me."

Not I, but Christ: Make it your daily operating principle: Christ is the one who lives; you are the one who yields.

Freedom from Sin: Rely on the legal fact of the Cross to break the "power" of habits that once enslaved you.

Gateway to Resurrected Life: View the "death" of your self-will as the only entrance into the vibrant life of Jesus.

Faith of the Son of God: Live by the "faith" that Jesus provides, trusting Him to handle the details of your life.
