Formation

2 Essential Truths about the Gospel (Acts 9):

What does it mean for the gospel to be formational (Rm. 6.15-18)?

• Without the saving work of Jesus, we are all slaves to sin (16-17a)
• Jesus has set us free from a life of slavery to sin (17-18)

How Does Formation Happen?

• Shaped by the church
• Shaped by the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5)
