What do you think of this as a summary of the Christian life

I'm always thinking ahead for the preaching schedule. I'm working on a year long series about the "gospel driven life."

I'm curious how other pastors would organize a year long series on this. I have some ideas, but I'm wondering what you would do, if you had 52 Sunday's to invest in it.

For starters Lovelace in his "Dynamics of Spiritual Renewal" gives the following summary of the essential elements of being in Christ. Do you think the list is complete? What's good? What's missing?

A. Justification: You are accepted
B. Sanctification: You are free from the bondage to sin
C. The indwelling Spirit: You are not alone
D. Authority in spiritual conflict: You have authority
