Every devout, experienced Christian will recognize the implications of the issue we are raising here. We must temper this statement, however, by the fact that the present world is one great area of testing. No other book has been as foundational to Christian faith as the book of Romans. When we continue to walk in the light of God’s Presence and will, the blood of Christ keeps on sanctifying us in the sight of the Lord. I am doing what I hate.”. We Gentiles are guests at the banquet. Abraham was called out of the large, prosperous city of Ur of the Chaldees. What is true of us if we indeed are God’s own children? We are crucified to sin and sin is crucified to us. It is not accomplished by our human efforts but by the Divine Virtue, wisdom, and energy of the Lord God of Heaven. Sin was introduced into mankind by creatures who previously had dwelled in the highest heaven. The result will be a humanistic secular world and a babylonish (manmade, man-centered, man-directed) Church. When the Lord God of Heaven views the triumphant resurrection of His Son, He beholds each of us as being part of that resurrection. What is true of the gifts and the calling of God? Whenever the saint comes near it he must be fenced about by the power and Virtue of the Lord Jesus Christ. On other occasions it is helpful—sometimes necessary—to get help from members of the Body of Christ. Jesus commanded us to let our light shine. We believe they can change your life as well. Read Isaiah 52:7. The Scriptures teach clearly and directly that each believer will be revealed before the Judgment Seat of Christ and will give an answer for his behavior in his body. There is a battle today for the minds of human beings. 35. 24. Can you see the reason for this? The Gentiles on receiving Christ were grafted onto the root of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. A covering of grace that abounds to a greater extent than did sin when the Law was given. By the time of the Lord Jesus, the olive tree was a fraction of all the descendants of Jacob. The present earth, and then the new earth, are the proper homes of the saint. As we are pressed into Christ’s crucifixion, choosing to yield ourselves as the servants of righteousness, eternal life in the form of the resurrection of Jesus rises in every element of our personality. God sent His own Son in the form of sinful flesh (although without sin), and the Divine judgment fell on the flesh of Christ as though it had been sinful. They chose instead to follow the letter of the statutes while their hearts were far from God. Our inner, spiritual nature is born of God, but our body is adopted. By whom was the Gospel of the Kingdom of God promised? Now do you understand why God allows sin and rebellion to continue in His creation? The new covenant has little to do with the terms of the old covenant, and this is why Paul did not want the believers to attempt to mix the two. The Lord Jesus will descend to the Mount of Olives at the head of His army. But, Paul claims, if the remnant, the firstfruits, is holy, then the lump of dough from which it was taken also is holy. Index to the Lessons Paul’s letter to the Romans is the one book in the Bible the mastery of which gives a solid framework for organizing God’s whole revelation. The goal of the Divine redemption is to conform us to the image of the Lord Jesus. It would be to maintain that one has been healed because he has called the doctor even though he still is sick. 39. The guilt of Adam’s sin and of our own sinning has been removed from us through the atonement made for us by Christ on the cross (II Corinthians 5:19). Unlike the old covenant, the new covenant is of the Holy Spirit rather than of a body of laws and ordinances contained in writing. The restored sanctification plus the death of obedience, in association with the coming from Heaven of the Lord Jesus Christ, will destroy the kingdom of darkness. We Christians must—absolutely must—endure steadfastly in well-doing if we are to attain eternal life. 26. True saints must now throw off the false security given by the teaching of “workless grace” and follow the exhortations to holiness given by the Lord Jesus and the Apostles of the Lamb. On what basis is the saint, Jew or Gentile, declared righteous? As amazingly in depth the doctrine is, Paul concludes the book with five chapters of application. The goal and the means of attaining the goal are both incorrect. If we would think of salvation as a process, a program that has a specific beginning, a specific plan for change, and a specific conclusion, an alpha and an omega, we would be closer to the Scriptures in our understanding. On whose behalf could he have wished to be accursed from Christ? 22. If we are serving the Lord in our own wisdom and strength, we are working in the flesh and not in the Spirit of God. But if hatred, misery, unrest, impatience, harshness, selfishness, unbelief, hardness, lack of self-control are being revealed in our behavior we need to ask the Lord Jesus if the Spirit of God is abiding in us, whether or not we speak in tongues and exercise spiritual gifts. 9. The proof that we actually have received such life is found in our speech, in our deeds, and in our imaginations and motives. “I will take away their sins.” Think of it! Our answer to this commonly asked question is as follows: The Lord Jesus Christ commanded us to take up our cross and follow Him. This is a false vision of God. Yet they possess no redemption. Endure tribulation. 56. What is true of people who are living “in the Spirit”? The believer who views the new covenant as a plan whereby an individual is released from conscience and law so he can live as he pleases, and then attain eternal residence in Paradise, is misunderstanding both the process and the goal of the salvation made possible through Christ. God did the work, and we receive righteousness by believing and receiving God’s efforts on our behalf. In the Book of Romans are found definitive statements concerning the transition from the Law of Moses to the grace of God in Christ. Every act of righteousness flowing from Christ’s Life within a believer is part of that one resurrection. We must decrease and He must increase. If such were the case the numerous admonitions of the New Testament writings would be superfluous or meaningless. The spirit heavens are the home of the angels—a different race of intelligent creatures. Each has gained victory in the Lord during his or her own period of history. 24. To whom does all the glory belong forever, ages without end? They exchanged natural relations for unnatural relations. This is true of the Sabbath day, circumcision, and all other ceremonial practices. Under the new covenant our Father directs every aspect of our daily life. We have embraced fables in place of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. While there are a few passages that could be construed to mean we are to do nothing but wait until Jesus obeys the Word in us, there are an abundance of passages that command us to take action. Christ has not lost His Identity as a Person. Salvation consists of much more than a vocal expression of belief in the facts of Christ’s atoning death and triumphant resurrection. Perhaps when Paul referred to Andronicus, Junias, Herodion, Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater as his kinsmen he was speaking of the fact that they were Israelites, not that they necessarily were his blood relatives. 22. The overcomer comes before the Lord and puts every relationship, every situation, every person, every activity, every thing including his own life on the altar of God. What will take place in every person in whom the Spirit of God is dwelling? First, we must regard ourselves as crucified to the world, to sin, to our former personality, and them as crucified to us. You will find He is strong and mighty in battle, and that He has entered you so the inheritance that is His and yours may be restored to Him and to you (see Psalms 24). What is the saint to avoid if at all possible? Take dominion over it in the name of Christ. The Holy Spirit of God through Christ—Head and Body—will turn away ungodliness from those who repent of their sins today. Leadership, he should be diligent in the Lord. God found a way to remove condemnation from us. I was truly inspired by all the amazing scripture found within it, and I narrowed it down to ten lessons which stuck out to me (though there are much more). When they succeed in so doing they die and leave it all to the righteous. Being saved “by grace” has come to mean the necessary aspect of Christianity is that we make a correct statement of faith concerning Christ. 29. Who is it that delivers us from being compelled to think, speak, and act in a sinful and rebellious manner, from being forced to behave differently from what we desire in our mind and heart? What is Paul’s response to his own question? The name Sardis means remnant, or they who have escaped. Apart from such love there is no Church of Christ. Christ is Lord of the Jew and Lord of the Greek, and He assigns His riches to every person who calls on Him. He never sought His own pleasure. The Lord Jesus Christ possesses authority and power over the guilt and compulsion of sin and rebellion. What else distinguishes the true Jew? At His resurrection the hand of God Almighty reached down and opened the massive door of the prison—but just a crack! Therefore they are married neither to Moses nor Christ, and Satan assumes control of their personalities. However, if the goal of the new covenant is not to go to Heaven but righteous behavior (which it assuredly is! What does Paul state concerning our sufferings in the world? We are to kill them as the Holy Spirit gives us the virtue, wisdom, and energy. No other book has been as foundational to Christian faith as the book of Romans. They have mentally assented to the facts of redemption but have not embraced the teachings of the Apostles. God has freely given us eternal resurrection life. We are not to be presumptuous in the use of our faith. The meaning of major passages of the Scriptures will be hidden from him because he does not perceive correctly the plan or the purpose of God. They possessed lamps, a type of the Word of God, the Scriptures. Paul was also known as Saul. Why were we buried with Him by baptism into death? It is true that the adamic nature cannot deliver itself from the bondages of sin. If one nation is chosen, and another nation is not chosen but instead suffers destruction, then the Lord God is working according to His own desires among the nations of the earth. The devils are assured of these facts and tremble in terror. What has God done because people chose to worship and serve the creature rather than the Creator? Paul based his explanation of the transition—of the way the new covenant differs from the old covenant—on the manner in which Abraham received the status of righteousness in the sight of God. God will prove to be true while every man is found to be a liar. Have God’s covenants and promises directed toward Israel failed in their eternal purpose? There are 66 books in the Bible. Notice that the true Jew is the individual who keeps God’s commandments. He is the King of the Kingdom. The righteousness of God without the Law comes as we leave Moses and are married to Christ. The Christian personality is not to be governed by the sinful nature. To submit all that we are and possess to God is to enter the death of the cross. 51. If we will study the sixth chapter of the Book of Romans we may notice that Paul does not conclude, from his teaching in the preceding chapters of Romans, that because of the grace of the new covenant, righteous and holy behavior need not follow as an essential part of our salvation in Christ. The five steps of death to sin we mentioned previously help us wash our robes in the blood of the Lamb. 38. What results from putting to death our adamic personality? The viewpoint of current Christian theology is that the goal of salvation is to bring people to Heaven. 27. Each day we behold the Glory of God in the face of Christ, and each day we are transformed into the image of what we are beholding. This simple plan will take you through the book of Romans and would be great for individual or group study. Let us repeat our earlier comment. What is the significance of the expression, “In Isaac shall thy seed be called”? Let us turn now to the redemption, the liberation, the salvation that will be brought to us with the return of Christ from Heaven. What did the Father do as part of His program to bring His many sons to glory? The gifts and graces of the new covenant have to do with the forming of Christ in us. It is to this transformation that we have been predestined and it is the transformation of our personality that fulfills the purpose of God in calling us out of the world (Romans 8:28,29). If Christ is being formed in us and is dwelling in us, honest, upright character begins to appear; kindness and mercy begin to be demonstrated; our walk begins to be one of faithful, humble dependence on the Lord. Righteousness leads us into peace with God and peace with men. The Christian personality is to be governed by the Spirit of God who is dwelling eternally in the Christian. Everything in the Kingdom depends on righteousness. I have found it is most helpful to do this study with others. His likeness cannot be reproduced by the efforts of flesh and blood. The Spirit of Christ in Moses and Isaiah spoke in advance of God’s plan of redemption for the Gentiles. In fact, the main topic of the Scriptures is the establishing of the Kingdom of God on the earth, and Christ as the King of the Kingdom. 5. 6. 24. Look back—and praise Him, Look ahead—and trust Him, Look around—and serve Him, Look up—and expect Him. Therefore the current view of the Christian salvation is incorrect and destructive of God’s purpose in Christ. 13. 29. Instead of doing what Jesus said, it is enough that we “receive Him by faith.” Then we will be saved “by grace alone.”. No situation, spiritual power, or created thing ever will be able to separate one of God’s elected sons from the love of God that is in Christ our Lord. Through Christ. One goal of this study is to correct the common errors made in most Romans studies (and Bible studies in general), that are caused by ignorance of the context of the letter and a tainted opinion of Paul's view of the Torah. Righteous behavior must proceed from both the old covenant and the new covenant or else Divine judgment certainly shall follow. How did Paul become aware he was coveting and lusting? How do we cooperate with the Holy Spirit as He slays the sinful tendencies in us? Today we see numerous pastors and believers falling into moral sin. If our unrighteousness establishes God’s righteousness, what question is raised? God is resting. The verse does not state that Christ died and rose again that he might save us but that He might rule us in undisputed lordship. The occurrences of delusion may indicate that the spirit of deception has been given increased access to the heavenlies and is able to deceive even experienced saints. Cleave to what is good. We are to be transformed into the image of the Lord Jesus so we may prove the will of God in our own life. A person is called or he is not called. The circumstances of their lives worked together so the spiritual message was illustrated. The two remnants, as we understand the Scriptures, will constitute the firstfruits of the Bride of the Lamb. The expression “the righteousness of God without the law” means vastly more than an imputed (ascribed) righteousness. 22. He teaches that God has chosen a remnant of the entire nation, and has sent blindness upon the majority of the Jews. The love of God has filled his heart through the Holy Spirit who was given to him. We are determined that through Christ we will gain victory over all sin and disobedience. It absolutely is true that all have sinned and have come short of the Glory of God. This is the first resurrection from the dead, and it will occur at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ from Heaven. The remnant consists of both Jews and Gentiles (Romans 9:24) who have been called, justified, and glorified, so the eternal purpose of God in Christ may be accomplished. We 18. Beginning in Chapter Nine of Romans, Paul expresses his concern for his own people, physical Israel. The promised redemption will come at the end of the present age. It is a very large canvas that the God of Heaven is painting. Sin, being exposed by the Law, comes to life. Prophecy, he should put this talent to work in the Kingdom, prophesying in accordance with the proportion of faith God has assigned to him. God will not repay the believers according to their deeds. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ applies to us the righteousness of Christ and provides us with wisdom and energy superior to the principle of sin dwelling in our members. 13. What is true of an individual Christian? We have died to the Law by our union with the dead body of Christ on the cross. Let us consider, for example, the ordinance of the Sabbath day, which is part of the Ten Commandments. The Gospel of salvation always is to the Jew first. We need in this instance to go to the church and ask for help from the elders. If Christ is our personal Lord, He rules our time, our goals, our employment, where we live, what we do each day, whom we marry, where we go, what relaxation we enjoy, what we read, when we go to sleep, and when we rise in the morning. Being “dead to sin” means we have been crucified with Christ, that we judge the manifestations of sin in us as being unfit for the Kingdom of God and proceed to drive them out through the Holy Spirit, and that we have chosen to offer ourselves as a bondslave to Christ in order that His will may be performed in our daily life. What does Paul confer on the holy ones who are dwelling in the city of Rome? His hope that Christ will release him from the power of sin and death. Being “dead to sin” means we left our first personality in the waters of baptism. Whatever God extends to us in his love is to be received with thanksgiving. These contributions of ministry bring joy and strength to the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:7-16). The Spirit of God is ready to assist us, if we choose to avail ourselves of His help. In what way, then, is the Jew superior? It is not what Paul meant when he taught that we are saved by grace through faith. No. The new covenant is Christ: as our blood atonement, as our Divine Substance whose body and blood we eat and drink, as our Lord whom we serve at all times, as our good Shepherd, as our Baptizer with the Holy Spirit of God, as our Healer, as our Example in all things, as our Redeemer who will return to receive us, as our resurrection Life who will transform our mortal body, as our Hope, our Wisdom, our Sanctification, and as our heavenly Bridegroom who will come for us so we may be with Him where He is forever. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. By reaping Christ we are referring to the righteous, holy and obedient behavior that shows forth in us as Christ is being formed in us. This is not because their hearts or consciences are different from other men, it is because demon spirits have warped their natural instincts of right and wrong. He who gave the Law is the Law. The goal has become eternal residence in the spirit realm rather than moral transformation. What tribulation or persecution or danger or lack of material necessities is able to separate a son of God from the love of Christ? The believer who continues to sin will die spiritually. The key phrase is, “in Christ.” All of the workings of the new covenant depend directly on our being in Christ. Is it possible to be saved by grace and still have unforgiveness toward an individual? Righteousness is a humble reliance on God in all that we do, in place of self-centeredness, self-reliance, self-seeking, self-vaunting, self-assertion. In the likeness of His death; in the likeness of his resurrection. Faith can live only in works of righteousness. Our death to sin, as represented by baptism in water, means God views our first personality as a creation that is passing away. If it is little, then we are to exercise that amount. “What if God, desiring to show His anger and to demonstrate His power, exercised patience in bearing with the objects of His wrath—the objects prepared for destruction? In this way, covetousness was able to reveal itself as Paul’s true master, to demonstrate that Paul was not in control of his own behavior. You who abhor idols, are you committing sacrilege? Many governments of today are democratic in philosophy, that is, they subscribe to the concept that people who are being ruled ought to have the opportunity to express their opinions concerning the manner in which they are governed. The idea is that of an “Elijah” company—those who serve God with a perfect heart during a period when the people of the Lord are cold and backslidden. The Christian will not be held accountable for his behavior in the world. If Jesus did all the overcoming and we merely accept the finished work by faith, then repentance is a meaningless exercise. How do people view themselves, who do not trust in the Lord? He called out the objects of mercy, even us, not only from among Jews but also from among the Gentiles. The observance of the Sabbath day includes not working at our daily employment. The Divine proclamations are working, working, working in the heavens and on the earth. 2. Marriage to Christ places far, far greater restrictions on our behavior than ever could be true of the Law of Moses.
