The Four Aspects of the Cross.
Eph. 6:1–12)
God’s Remedy for Guilt– Part 1 –
I. Two Basic Problems in the Christian Church
A. We have displaced the cross from the center
B. We have displaced Jesus from His position as head
II. Begin with Spiritual Warfare—End with Intercession (Eph. 6:1–12)III. Why Is There a War?
A. Lucifer set up a rival kingdom in the heavenlies
1. Lucifer reached up—and fell
2. Jesus stooped down—and was exalted (Phil. 2:9; Luke 14:11; 1 Pet. 5:6)
B. Adamic race created
C. Satan tempts Adam, Adam falls
D. Satan has access to the presence of God—to accuse and make us guilty
E. Jesus poured out His blood as a guilt offering for our rebellion (2 Cor. 5:21 [Is.
53:10]
1. Our righteousness is as filthy rags (Is. 64:6)
2. We are clothed with salvation and God’s righteousness (Is. 61:10)
F. Guilt vs. conviction of sin
1. Conviction is from the Holy Spirit—brings repentance
2. Guilt is from Satan, the accuser of the brethren—only remedy is the robe of
righteousness
3. Romans 8:1—No condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus
