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 […]
Rom. 5:1 “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,” We ended chapter 4 by saying; Jesus’ resurrection brought us justification (just as if we didn’t sin, made brand new) before God, because the Resurrection proves that God accepted Jesus’ sacrifice for us. In the Book of […]
At the end of chapter 3 Paul taught us about being justified by faith. At the end of chapter 4 we will see it’s Jesus’ resurrection that brought us justification. Rom. 3:28 “For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.” If some Jews were reading Paul’s letter, […]
We’ve seen so far in chapter 3 that there is indeed value in being a Jew, God chose them for so many things. But being a Jew didn’t make them above everyone else, because God has no partiality when it comes to saving people. Chapter 3 also teaches us that the Law was delivered to […]
So far, in chapter 2 of Romans, we’ve been discussing God’s Judgment of sin and also about the Jews and the Law. We’ve also learned that when it comes to having a relationship with God, He sees all of us as the same, there isn’t one group of people better than another group. Rom. 2:26 […]
