We’ve had an interesting journey so far with Paul in chapters 1-8, where Paul has laid down for us the principles of salvation. Now Paul is going to shift gears a little by addressing how God is dealing with Israel, God’s chosen people. Paul didn’t want to continue any further his teaching on justification by […]
In our previous verses we were shown by Paul that our hope is in our Lord, and everything He says in His Word will come to pass for us. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Remember, […]
The last time we met we talked about the fact that we’re “born-again,” that we are indeed, children of God. As children of the God of this universe, we are also joint heirs with our Lord Jesus Christ. All that belongs to Jesus, we will one day inherit… along with… (17) “But if we are […]
We started this chapter with a declaration and an announcement. All believers in Jesus Christ will not face any kind of punishment in their eternal state… this should give us cause to celebrate. Our journey in Romans 8 is giving us insights into the truth of God’s Word, little jewels of truth that will bring […]
Dr. Donald Barnhouse said “that whenever a believer’s bible accidently falls on the floor, it should automatically open to Romans 8. In chapter 7 we learned about the law vs. sin. An understandable comment might be, “If the law makes me sin, then the law must be bad.” First of all, the law is not […]
In the beginning of chapter 7 we examined how we are no longer bound by the law. Verse 4 incapsulates it for us… “You died to the power of the law when you died with Christ. And now you are united with the one who was raised from the dead.” We also saw that it’s […]
In the last lesson we went from being Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God. Just as there is a vast difference between light and darkness, there is a great difference between the life that is trapped in damnation by sin and the life that is transformed by God and now lives for His righteousness. […]
So far in chapter 6 we’ve seen that we don’t have the freedom to sin just that God’s grace might increase. We are no longer slaves to sin, in fact, we’ve died to sin in that Jesus died to sin. And to show the world that it’s Christ we have faith in, we get baptized. […]
Chapters 1 thru 5 told us that we’re dead “in” sin or trespasses, but in chapters 6 thru 8 we’re told we are now dead “to” sin. Rom. 6:1 “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” At the end of chapter 5 in verse 20, it says, “God’s […]
So far, in chapter 5 of Romans we’ve learned that we are made right with God through the faith that we have. If we have little faith, meaning a small amount, it’s still enough to save us as far as God is concerned. We were also shown, that as Christians, we’re going run into troubles […]
