We are now switching gears from chapters 9 thru 11 where we heard from Paul about the plight of the Jews in regards to their salvation. Now we will enter into the final section of Romans, which will have to do with our service to God as Christians. Paul will tell us how to put […]
In chapter 10 Paul explained why Israel was in the spiritual condition she was in nationally. Israel was totally focused on obtaining righteousness by their human efforts in following the law, thus she rejected anything having to do with righteousness through faith. Chapter 11 discusses Israel’s future and answers the question for us; “Has God […]
Rom. 10:11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.” Now we’ve just come from verses 9 and 10, which are kind of a litmus test to see whether you’re saved or not. Looking at our verse here, I can’t imagine that anyone would be disappointed in salvation. Salvation means believing […]
We left off last time seeing the full weight of God’s sovereignty in the beginning of chapter 9. You can always question God, but if you do, do it with admiration and respect. God has a plan and purpose for the whole world, and nothing will thwart His plans and purposes… not even satan. And […]
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 […]
