Kenneth Wuest emphasizes the believer's responsibility to recognize the broken power of sin and the possession of the divine nature, which empowers them to resist temptation and live a Christlike life. He explains that while sin was once unavoidable, post-salvation, sin is a choice, and believers must rely on the Holy Spirit to suppress their sinful nature and produce spiritual fruit. Wuest contrasts the victorious life of a Spirit-led believer with the defeated life of one who is unaware of their emancipation from sin. He encourages believers to actively reckon with their new identity in Christ and to stop allowing sin to reign in their lives. This understanding is crucial for living a life that pleases God.

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that true Christianity involves being led by the Spirit of God and demonstrating His love, which makes us 'winsome saints.' He notes that these saints often do not recognize their own attractiveness, as the great saints of the past were unaware of their greatness, yet others saw Christ's life in them. Tozer encourages believers to understand that worshiping God for who He is, rather than for what He can do for us, is essential to joining the ranks of winsome saints. He reminds us that God does not need our help, but desires our worship and enjoyment of Him. Ultimately, the call is to return to our purpose of glorifying God and experiencing His presence.

Watchman Nee emphasizes the foundational truth of Romans 6 regarding deliverance from sin, asserting that every believer can experience liberation from sin's power immediately upon accepting Christ. He explains the roles of sin, the old man, and the body of sin, highlighting that true deliverance comes not from self-effort or asceticism but through recognizing that our old man was crucified with Christ. Nee stresses the importance of faith in reckoning ourselves dead to sin and alive to God, as well as the necessity of yielding our members as instruments of righteousness. He warns against the dangers of relying on the soul life, which can lead to a soulish or carnal Christian experience, and calls for a deeper understanding of living by the Spirit. Ultimately, he encourages believers to pursue a life that is fully surrendered to God, moving beyond mere deliverance from sin to a complete transformation of life.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the significance of Christ's incarnation and earthly life as a representation of the new creation man, highlighting that His thirty-three years were essential to demonstrate how to live a life governed by the Holy Spirit. He challenges the audience to look beyond the superficial aspects of Christ's life and understand the spiritual value and impact of His presence, which stirred both people and spiritual forces. Sparks asserts that just as Christ was constituted by the Spirit for life and anointed for specific work, believers are also called to live on a higher level in their ordinary lives, empowered by the Holy Spirit. The sermon calls for a deeper appreciation of Christ's spiritual value and a commitment to live under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to make a meaningful impact in the world.

Andrew Murray emphasizes the struggle between the flesh and the Spirit in the life of a Christian, highlighting that many believers start in the Spirit but often revert to relying on their own strength to overcome sin. He explains that true freedom comes from walking in the Spirit, which empowers believers to live righteously rather than succumbing to the desires of the flesh. Murray encourages Christians to acknowledge their own weakness and to rely entirely on the Spirit's power to fulfill God's will, rather than striving in their own efforts. He reminds us that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus liberates us from the law of sin and death, urging believers to embrace this truth for a victorious Christian life.

Art Katz challenges the congregation to move beyond the superficiality of modern Christianity and embrace a deeper, Spirit-led life, contrasting the euphoria of worship with the gritty reality of apostolic faith. He emphasizes the need for true men and women of the Spirit, who are willing to endure suffering and sacrifice for the sake of God's glory and the salvation of souls. Katz calls for discernment between soulish and spiritual experiences, urging believers to seek the authentic presence of God rather than mere emotional highs. He illustrates this through the life of Paul, who was led by the Spirit to confront idolatry and share the gospel, even in the face of persecution. Ultimately, Katz invites the church to respond to God's call for a radical, Spirit-filled existence that reflects the true nature of apostolic glory.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes that God has a profound message for our hearts, demonstrated through the life of Jesus, who lived a spiritually rich life in a mundane world. He highlights that Christ's earthly existence was safeguarded by God to ensure that His value remained spiritual, not temporal, and that true appreciation of Christ comes from a heart transformed by the Spirit. Sparks urges believers to recognize that they are called to live ordinary lives on a higher spiritual level, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and to seek God's direction in their actions rather than relying on their own plans. He stresses the importance of being constituted and anointed by the Spirit to fulfill God's purpose effectively, warning against the church's tendency to operate without divine guidance. Ultimately, the sermon calls for repentance and submission to the Holy Spirit's leading to regain the church's impact in the world.
