To recap chapter 14 briefly, Paul revealed to us the problem of questionable things that can happen to Christians, and what to do when sincere Christians disagree about personal practices. It’s just a fact that within the church we have mature and immature believers. In Paul’s day, the church was composed of Jews and Gentiles, […]
In verses 1 thru 11 we covered “The Law of Liberty,” or we could say, the freedom we have as believers. What we should be doing as believers is not parade our freedoms in front of others, but instead show Christ’s love to one another by understanding that there are different levels of maturity within […]
In chapter 13 we learned that we are to obey the government regardless of how corrupt and perverted it might be, that is unless the government is forcing us to sin. Also, we must pay our taxes. The model citizen of society ought to be a Christian citizen. We closed out the chapter with the […]
In the first half of chapter 13 we were instructed to obey government (because we’re really obeying God in the process), pay our taxes (to keep government running), and continue to be God’s ambassadors of love by reaching out to those around us. We will close chapter 13 by applying these revelations for the sake […]
As we leave chapter 12, we can’t help but reflect on all the pearls of wisdom Paul brought to us through the Holy Spirit. If we put into practice verses 1 and 2 daily, we can be sure that God will lead us into obeying the commands in the rest of the chapter. Just to […]
In our previous verses in chapter 12 we talked about being part of the body of Christ and that we are all given different gifts to serve within the church and expand the Kingdom of God. We also covered love, hope, patience, hating evil, clinging to good, and to always be praying. We will close […]
The last time we met, we were talking about being a living sacrifice unto the Lord, and that as Christians, we are to live differently when compared to the ways of the world. By God transforming the minds of willing Christians, we are then reminded to take a good look within ourselves, to make sure […]
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 […]
