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 […]
In the beginning of chapter two, Paul has shown us that we should be quick to judge others… that this is God’s job. It’s okay to judge in that we discern between right and wrong. Also that there is a Day of Judgment coming, for the un-believer… the White Throne Judgment, for the believer… the […]
Rom. 2:1 “Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.” “You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked […]
“And their foolish hearts were darkened” (cont’d) Isaiah 32:6 “For the foolish person will speak foolishness, and his heart will work iniquity: To practice ungodliness, to utter error against the LORD, to keep the hungry unsatisfied, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.” Ecclesiastes 10:2 “A wise man’s heart directs him […]
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness (Paul switches gears) Rom. 1:18-19 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.” (NLT) “But God shows his anger […]
Rom. 1:14 “I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.” Another translation words it, that Paul was under obligation. We saw when Paul was Saul, when he was doing as much as he could to destroy Christians… but as Paul, he’s been transformed, and now the life […]
Rom. 1:5-7 “Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ; To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the […]
The Book of Romans in my opinion, is perhaps the flagship of the apostle Paul’s writings. When I meet a new believer I will usually advise them in reading the bible, to start in the book of Romans or the gospel of John. II Tim. 3:16 “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and […]
