  4. This “Present World” • Aspects of the “World-view”: • Aeon –Temporal – Timing • Present evil age – Gal. 1:4 • Cosmos – Spatial – Physical place • Created world – Rom. 1:20, 4:13, I Cor. 14:!0 • Life-Context – Spiritual – Dominion/Rule • Human situation qualified by sin • The world turned away from God • Depraved mankind headed for judgment

  5. God’s Rule, Christ’s Rule, Satan’s Rule NOT Heavens God’s Rule / Christ’s Rule Earth Satan’s Rule

  6. God’s Rule, Christ’s Rule, Satan’s Rule God’s / Christ’s Rule is Over All Heavens Earth Satan’s Rule Christ’s Rule

  7. God’s Rule, Christ’s Rule, Satan’s Rule • Christ’s Rule • Not limited to temporal • Not limited to spatial • Christ’s Rule is over all • All powers were created by Christ – Col.1:16 • All powers are conquered in Christ – Col. 1:20 • All powers are part of God’s creation – Rom.8:39 • Enemies of God are Subject to God – II Cor. 12:7

  8. God’s Rule, Christ’s Rule, Satan’s Rule • Satan’s Rule – Power of “this world” • Demonic, evil, misery, death • Suffering, oppression, anxiety, adversity • Hunger, want, danger,sword • “God of this Aeon” – Rom. 16:20; II Cor. 4:4 • “Spirit now working in the sons of disobedience” • Personification of the powers that attempt to separate the believer from the love of Christ.

  9. “Human” vs. “New” Life-Context • Human Life-Context • Those fallen into the power of sin • “Human nature outside of Christ” • Those who belong to the world: • Sinners • Those who participate in sin • Those who experience the judgment of sin • New Life-Context • Those no longer in the “world” • “World” crucified to them and them to it • Those no longer conformed to the “world”

  10. Universality of Sin • Rom. 3:10-20 – None are righteous • Rom. 3:23 – All have sinned • Rom. 5:12-21 • Not about universality of sin • Not about how sin is propagated • But a connection with Christ’s righteousness & life • And a connection with Adam’s sin & death • Through Adam sin was given access to the world • Death emphasized as the result of sin

  11. Universality of Sin • Flesh (defined) • All that is man • All that is sinful in man • Flesh is Represented by Paul as: • Human weakness • Dependence on God • That which is perishable • Man in his sin and depravity • Human Being / Sinner • Emphasis not on individual sins of a man, but the power of sin over all.
