Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Romans 8:6

DISCOURSE: 1860THE CARNAL AND SPIRITUAL MIND CONTRASTEDRomans 8:6. To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.THE world in general are much mistaken with respect to the means of solid happiness. They seek the vanities of time and sense in hopes of finding satisfaction; and they shun religion under the idea that it would make them melancholy: but the “way of transgressors is hard [Note: Proverbs 13:15.].” On the contrary, the ways of religion afford both peace... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Romans 8:7-8

DISCOURSE: 1861VILENESS AND IMPOTENCY OF THE NATURAL MANRomans 8:7-8. The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.TO those who know not what is in the heart of man, it must appear strange that persons not very dissimilar in their outward conduct should be adjudged to widely different states in the eternal world. But in the most imperfect of the regenerate, there is a predominant... read more

DISCOURSE: 1866THE SPIRIT’S WORK IN BELIEVERSRomans 8:9. If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.IN entering on this closing part of our subject, I feel peculiar difficulty, not from any want of scriptural and incontrovertible materials, but from the very nature of those materials which, being wholly of an experimental nature, can only commend themselves to those who, by actual experience, are qualified to judge of them. There are, as we all know, different kinds of... read more

DISCOURSE: 1867GOD’S DWELLING IN US IS A MOTIVE TO HOLINESSRomans 8:12. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.IN the Scriptures, privilege and duty are inseparably connected. By this means we are kept at an equal distance from presumptuous confidence and painful servility; and the best feelings of the soul are rendered subservient to our eternal welfare. This observation is verified, as in many other passages [Note: Rom 12:1 and 1 Corinthians 6:20. with... read more

DISCOURSE: 1868MORTIFICATION OF SINRomans 8:13. If ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.IT is of infinite importance to know our state as it is before God, and to ascertain on scriptural grounds, what our condition will be in the eternal world. Numberless are the passages of God’s word which will afford us the desired information; but there is not in the whole inspired volume one declaration more explicit than that... read more

DISCOURSE: 1869THE LEADINGS OF THE SPIRITRomans 8:14. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.THOUGH Christ’s obedience unto death is the only meritorious ground of our salvation, yet it is certain that heaven is held forth to us as a prize which we are to attain by running, and as “a recompence of reward” which we are to gain by labour. Many shrink back at this idea, on account of the vast disproportion between the work and the reward: and well they may shrink back,... read more

DISCOURSE: 1870THE SPIRIT OF BONDAGE AND OF ADOPTIONRomans 8:15. Ye have not received the Spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.OUR blessed Lord in his last discourse with his Disciples, promised to send down from heaven the Holy Spirit, who should “convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment:” and accordingly, on the day of Pentecost he did send down the Holy Spirit, who instantly wrought in the most powerful... read more

DISCOURSE: 1871THE WITNESS OF THE SPIRITRomans 8:16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.THERE is a tribunal before which we must all appear at the last day: but we need not wait till that time to ascertain our true character. Every man has a tribunal erected in his own bosom. The conscience, according to the light it has received, accuses or excuses, those who will listen to its voice. This is common to heathens as well as Christians [Note: Romans... read more

DISCOURSE: 1872THE PRIVILEGES OF GOD’S CHILDRENRomans 8:17. If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and jointheirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.THERE are many high-sounding titles among men, which are no otherwise profitable to the possessors of them, than as they please their fancy, and gratify their pride. But the honourable appellations given to the true Christian, are connected with real and substantial benefits, which every one who is... read more
