Christ Powered Life (Romans 5-8), by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson How do you live a Christ powered life? How can you mature as a Christian? How do you get victory in your struggle with sin? It is hopeless?

By no means! Christ's Spirit makes the difference. Though the Christian life is sometimes hard, in a Christ-centered life there is a place of victory over sin. It comes through faith as well as an understanding of who we are in Christ and how the Christian life is supposed to work. In this free 8-lesson online Bible study, Pastor Ralph takes you through some of the most powerful chapters on Christian living found in the Bible -- Romans 5-8, the golden core of Paul's magnum opus, his Letter to the Romans.

Is this passage difficult to understand? Yes. You'll be stretched. Your conceptual world will have to expand. But you'll find that the time you spend in studying Romans 5-8 will pay rich rewards, for it will move you closer to a Spirit-filled life that you will enjoy in spite of the struggles you experience.

Here's the outline of this 200-page book:

We Now Have Peace with God (5:1-11). God has gone to great expense to reconcile us to him.
United to Christ, the Second Adam (5:12-6:5).
United with Christ, Free from Sin's Slavery (6:1-11). Christ's death weakens our sinful nature so that we can have victory over sin. Includes an excursus on baptism by immersion.
Slaves to Righteousness Rather Than to Sin (6:12–23). Sin is no longer our master, Christ is!
Struggling with Sin in Our Own Strength (7:1–25). Our flesh or sinful nature is no match for sin's power -- even with the insight of the law.
Learning to Walk by the Spirit (8:1-17). Only when we are led and empowered by the Spirit can we be free from sin's dominion.
Revealing the Children of God in Future Glory (8:15-28). The Spirit testifies that we are sons of God who will be fully revealed at the Resurrection.
We Are More than Conquerors through Christ (8:28-39). God is determined to see us through to the end!
