The Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, received the righteousness of God by receiving Christ. Not think of himself as wise and superior.

God the Father has not lost His Identity as a Person. Malice, envy, murder, strife. This is the coming of the Deliverer from Zion. What will people receive, who, with steadfast endurance in well-doing, are seeking for glory, honor, and immortality?

We have said we are not guilty now (Romans 8:1) and we shall be found not guilty in the Day of Judgment (John 5:29) provided we walk each day in the light of God’s will. 11. Paul’s point is that an Israelite—in terms of the prophecies and promises of the Scripture—is not merely an individual who descended from Abraham after the flesh, a natural descendant. Largely because of the theology of Martin Luther the expression the just shall live by faith has come to mean men cannot save themselves by righteous works but only by believing in the Lord Jesus. But transformation does take place. Possibly Andronicus and Junias were apostles. The wall that surrounds the new Jerusalem is a symbolic portrayal of the resistance, the immunity to sin possessed by the Bride of the Lamb. This interpretation agrees with Paul’s statements in the seventh chapter of Romans: However, there is more to the issue than the simple idea that when we come to the Lord we can forget about the eternal moral law of God. The False Prophet is undisciplined Christianity, crossless Christianity. If “by their fruits ye shall know them” means the prophets of Christ are identified, not by their statement of faith but by their righteous behavior, holiness, and obedience to God, then the doctrine of Divine grace is being taught incorrectly in our day. The Christian Church began with Israelites and will end with Israelites. 17. The teachers of today who believe the Lord Jesus has rejected His own nation in favor of the wild Gentiles know neither the Lord nor His Word. He is held to be unrighteous by the Lord God, and his end is destruction. Why Study the Book of Romans? Therefore Calvary did not change the Law, it established the Law in that it revealed the terrible penalty for sin and then made it possible for those who believe to be forgiven.

And because the governments of today have refused to avenge the innocent and punish the guilty, the Lord Himself shall come and bring judgment and justice. The believer in Christ commences his discipleship with a willing inner man and an unwilling body. The worst result of sin is that we are separated in this world and the next from the Presence of the Father, from the Presence of the Lamb, from the company of the saints and holy angels—from all that is joyous and peaceful. Unnatural affection, callousness, cruelty. I don’t know if that’s exactly true, but I can see how it could be. Each sincere Christian would do well to consider carefully Deuteronomy 28:15-68, keeping in mind that it was the Spirit of Christ who was speaking through Moses. 6. 53. Since this is true, the only purpose of the commandments of Christ and of His Apostles is to show us clearly that we cannot save ourselves. 15. 12.

We absolutely must hold up our physical body a living sacrifice to the Lord. The God of Israel has not given us a simple, easy plan whereby we may attain eternal residence in Paradise. But now we have an alternate route to the Kingdom of God. As far as possible the Christian should avoid bringing himself under bondage, placing himself under financial or other type of obligation. It is the power of the Spirit of God operating on the basis of the authority of the blood of Jesus that enables us to put to death the deeds of our physical body. Often the results of these five steps are dramatic. They had supposed that because they are Christians they were not obligated to obey the laws of their city and country. But if we are living “in the flesh,” if we are choosing to emphasize our animal characteristics of eating, playing, working, sleeping, and reproducing, all affected by the uncleanness of sin, and are paying minimal attention to the Spirit of God, then Christ is withering in us; eternal life is withering in us; the resurrection from the dead is withering in us; the way, the truth, and the life are withering in us; salvation is withering in us; the new covenant is withering in us; grace is withering in us (Luke 8:13,14). He called out the objects of mercy, even us, not only from among Jews but also from among the Gentiles. Why were the Israelites disobedient to the Gospel? A correct interpretation of Romans, Chapter Six depends on our understanding of the expression “we, who are dead to sin.”. Going to Heaven when we die is our joyous hope but it is not the goal of salvation. The creation will continue to suffer birth pains until the Kingdom of God has been established on the earth. The new creation is not the Lord Jesus Christ. What was true if some of the Jews did not mix faith with the Word that was given to them? What flows forth as an inseparable aspect of sin and rebellion against the Lord God of Heaven? What is “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ”? We are crucified to the world and the world is crucified to us. First it is because the satanic pressure on the world has increased. What is true of people who are living “in the Spirit”? The called-out nation of Israel was God’s “Church” in a natural form. Salvation no longer is operating in him as it should. Is it possible to be saved by grace and still have unforgiveness toward an individual? Where the Holy Spirit has produced righteous behavior, the peace of God, the joy of Christ—that is the Kingdom of God. The moment we receive Him He provides us with the power to choose not to sin. It means to have the Lord open our spiritual eyes to behold God’s Lamb who was slain for our sins. The book of Romans teaches us that a renewed mind is God’s plan for changing our hearts and lives. Their water baptism does not indicate they have been grafted into union with the death of Christ and the resurrection of Christ. The concept here may be that the lack of trust of some of the Jews in the oracles, the Scriptures, that were entrusted to them, could not in any manner take away from the trustworthiness of the Scriptures. It reveals also how great God’s mercy and love are. To attempt to manipulate the spirit realm by striving to “believe” is a soulish endeavor practiced by members of occult societies and religions. A true Christian church is made up of a group of people, often quite small in number, who have fervent love for the Lord Jesus Christ and for each other. What is the greatest chapter in the Bible? If salvation by grace means God has invalidated the Sermon on the Mount for the believers of the new covenant, then all is safe and well in the camp of the Christians—of which we are a part.

Believing that God raised Jesus from the dead shows that we have faith in God’s power. There is no more critical area of the Christian discipleship than that of vengeance for wrong done. If you look and look and look at the book, the treasures you will find on your own with God’s help in humility and prayer and a vigorous attention to what is there will be worth every hour. Instead the grace of God has been perverted into an excuse to break the moral commandments of the Lord. 20. Confession and sincere repentance lead directly into release from slavery to the particular sin, whether it be adultery, fornication, filthy speaking, murderous rage, gluttony, sorcery, gossiping, harsh criticism, impatience, lack of self-control, or any other sin.

A servant of God, an avenger who brings Divine wrath on the individual who is practicing evil (according to the Bible definition of “evil”), whether or not the person is a believer in Christ. The Christian is not to seek revenge. If we are rebellious and resistant to the laws of the Kingdom of God now we will be rebellious and resistant to the laws of the Kingdom of God then; because the laws now as well as then proceed from God. God will make certain that even his enemies are at peace with him (Proverbs 16:7). This is the white robe of righteous conduct being formed now before the Throne of God as we sow to righteous conduct in our present mortal body. This isn't intended to be a Cliff's Notes version of Paul's epistle . What is true of the person who is the slave of sin? There are no quick, easy ways to the knowledge of the Lord. What does the Law of Moses (the Ten Commandments) bring to us? Our hearts are not right in the sight of God! 6. Who were sending their greetings to the saints in Rome? Why must the whole be consumed? Who is without condemnation in the sight of God? The old covenant cannot, however, enable the believer to finally overcome the guilt and compelling power of sin.

What would have been true if Abraham had been declared to be a righteous man on the basis of his observance of the moral law of God? Have all obeyed the Good News of Christ? If our faith is great, then we are to respond accordingly. Was the first member of the Gentile church the Apostle Paul of the tribe of Benjamin? Therefore the Christian churches are in moral chaos.

What has the behavior of the Jews caused to take place? It may be true that the Book of Romans is the most misunderstood writing of all time. We are determined to obey God. He has been researching, writing about, and teaching Romans for decades. The fact that God selected Abraham from all the inhabitants of the large city of Ur, and chose Abraham’s descendants, the nation of Israel, with whom God has dealt in a manner that has never been true of any other race of people, is one of the clearest demonstrations in all Scripture of Divine foreknowledge, predestination, and election. In fact, God meets the individual who “rejoiceth and worketh righteousness.” Rather, Isaiah is proclaiming that God willingly accepts the righteous individual; but the Jews of Isaiah’s day were practicing uncleanness. But prayer and faith are not to be used as weapons by which we are to get from God what we want in order to achieve our own pleasures and ambitions in the world. Actually, there is far more Scripture to the effect that the resurrected saints will serve the Lord on the earth rather than in Heaven (the last two chapters of the Book of Revelation, for example). He observes that day in faith toward God. In so doing God was able to make known the riches of His glory on objects of mercy He prepared beforehand for glory. If we do not sow to the Spirit, choosing instead to follow the desires of our flesh and human mind, we will not be part of the first resurrection. 13. 8.

The doctrine that the Jews were obligated to behave in a morally correct manner, and the Christian is not obligated to behave in a morally correct manner because the Christian is “saved by grace,” is totally in error. Although Christ never was guilty of one sin against the Law of Moses He was visited with the judgment and execution of sentence that must attend the soul that sins. The blood of the Lamb of God makes possible an expunging of our record so it is as though we never have sinned. But if we are praying, reading the Scriptures, gathering together with the saints when possible, giving, serving, and doing all else we know to do, God’s Spirit will cause us to grow in Christ. It is not that God has turned away from the Jews, it is, rather, that the elect Gentiles have been grafted on Israel, on the cultivated olive tree.

Notice it is not OUR righteousness he is talking about. It appears that over the last few decades a spirit of commercialization has overtaken the assemblies of Christ. Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount (the fifth through the seventh chapters of Matthew) in which he described how men should live. When studying Romans, we must keep in mind that Paul had an ongoing battle with Jewish theologians and teachers who were insisting that righteousness could come by the Law of Moses. Deuteronomy 28:15-68 is a good balance to the concept being presented today, which has the Lord serving as the head butler and grand Santa Claus of the Christian assemblies. 10.

If we fight the good fight of faith, gaining, through the Holy Spirit, mastery over the sin that dwells in our flesh, we will receive the robe of righteous conduct. God’s program for providing righteousness through the Lord Jesus Christ. The first resurrection from the dead is not a departure to Heaven. When the firstfruits have been perfected in the Lord they will be gathered to Jesus and return with Him to save the nation of Israel. The first resurrection from the dead will be an open manifestation of the inner spiritual resurrection the Church has attained in the Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:6; Colossians 3:2; Philippians 3:11; Revelation 20:4-6). This is Gnosticism. Paul suffered much in the world (II Corinthians 11:23-33, for example). We of the remnant of elect Gentiles will have the privilege of sharing His inconceivable joy as He receives the adoration that was denied Him at His first appearing to Israel. Romans comprehends and summarizes the basics of the Christian faith. “I will put my law [Torah] in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts.”. The earth, its peoples, death, life, light, darkness, the present age, the ages to come, every creature, every thing—all belong to Christ and His saints. When the Lord Jesus returns to the earth it will be for the purpose of manifesting His glory through His saints. We must eat of Him and drink of Him and live by Him if we are to develop the kind of character the Father in Heaven regards as righteous. Spiritual death—the loss of the Presence and fellowship of God in Christ. Sin does not proceed from the Lord God of Heaven. Sometimes, however, we do not obtain relief immediately because the Spirit is working on other aspects of our personality or on circumstances having to do with the behaviors under scrutiny. We simply cannot participate in the works of Satan, even if they are endorsed by our government. What additional prayer did Paul offer for the saints in Rome? Therefore we are to keep all of the commandments issued by Christ and His Apostles. The crack was large enough, however, to let the glorious light of Heaven stream into the darkness. They possessed lamps, a type of the Word of God, the Scriptures. The Torah, the term used to describe the new covenant, refers to the Books of Moses in particular, and also to God’s eternal moral law. The Messianic inheritance, the Presence of God, the Holy Spirit, rested on Abraham. Death no longer has the power to rule Him. God has left a door open here so the willfully filthy person, the person who chooses to be ignorant and unclean, can deceive himself.

The problem is what we mean by the word “saved.” We mean qualified to go to Heaven when we die to live there eternally in a mansion. Under the new covenant Christ is with us and in us and we are with Him and in Him. Or did He mean when men witness our righteous conduct they will glorify God? Those who are led by the Holy Spirit of God. His life is more than just human-animal existence. What is true of the individual to whom the Law of Moses has not come as yet?

The truth is, the new covenant is vastly more able to create godly behavior than was true of the old covenant. What does the Scripture say to Pharaoh? If you desire to rule in righteousness, permit the Lord Jesus Christ to fill your heart with His love of righteousness and hatred of lawlessness. 18. The teaching that states we cannot, through the Lord Jesus, overcome sin and self-will in this world is unscriptural. It is made up of many parts, each of which has a special use in the body. Any teaching to the contrary is not coming from the Lord for it makes His words irrelevant. The Christian message stresses we are saved the moment we receive the Lord Jesus. If such is the case, of what church were Peter and Paul members—the heavenly Gentile church or the earthly Jewish church? 2. Personal Savior, yes. “Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.”. There is no question about what will take place as soon as the last Gentile, according to election, has been grafted on the root of Israel. How were the saints to greet one another? Death ruled from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the same manner that Adam did. Now we live for Him alone. 31. The reason people do not gain victory over specific sins is that they do not name the sin clearly and denounce it vigorously. Our righteousness is result of our good deeds. 16. Salvation always is an opportunity. They are set apart as holy in the Presence of God. Since this is true, being carried to Heaven will not create within the sons of God the virtue necessary for satisfying the Father that sin and rebellion will not be found in them. Christianity in the beginning was a Jewish religion and will once again be a Jewish religion when the Lord gathers His people from the ends of the earth. A new creation is being revealed and every part of the new creation is of God (II Corinthians 5:17,18). What is true of us if we indeed are God’s own children? What is true of the believer who eats food? All sin and rebellion—the horrible virus—will be contained within the dark, oppressive interior of the earth. 11. The Sabbath commandment has to do with setting apart a day to think about God and to seek His pleasure, not with straining over light switches. Our physical body is dead—cut off from the Life of God because of the law of sin that abides in the members of our body. We are not walking any longer by the rule of love. 26. It would be to maintain that one has been healed because he has called the doctor even though he still is sick. A Study of Romans Gene Taylor-2- Lesson One: Background Information I. An “expert Christian,” that is, someone who is attaining Christ-likeness but who is not an inseparable aspect of the radiance of Christ’s resurrection Life, is not of God. Notice the preceding verse. We understand, therefore, that the Scripture itself reports that the writings of Paul contain “things hard to be understood.” Apparently Peter himself did not understand the principal differences between the two covenants. If the saint will keep his mind and speech centered on the Lord Jesus Christ he can survive throughout the coming flood of evil. 21. The law of sin in our flesh hates God and resists righteous behavior at every opportunity. Do we believe we will escape the judgment of God when we are practicing the wickedness for which we are condemning others? This is to say, He Himself is the Law. We are to keep on allowing the Holy Spirit to bring down our adamic personality to death until every aspect of our personality and behavior is of Christ, in Christ, by Christ. Are we saved by grace? Understanding these facts we can begin to gain an inkling of the truly awesome implications of the expression: “We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”. We must keep in mind that the Gentile branches are not supporting the root of Israel; rather, the root of Israel is supporting the Gentile branches. Why was it necessary that Christ die on our behalf? The Lord does not allow us to keep any part of our original personality. What does the Scripture state concerning the Lord Jesus Christ? God has decided to create a family, to enlarge His own Being. We are to set aside our own life and receive His Life and His will. As long as we are abiding in the Lord Jesus, as long as we are pressing forward each day in the work of transformation, the blood of Jesus is maintaining our guiltlessness before the Father. He teaches that God has chosen a remnant of the entire nation, and has sent blindness upon the majority of the Jews. Whoever has the Spirit of God in him will say amen to this. There are deaths that the faithful followers of Christ are required to pass through that are far more difficult to endure than physical death. Guile, an evil disposition, whispering. 13. The “Top 10” list is based on aggregate reviews.. We must gain not only deliverance from sin but in addition the crown of righteousness and life. The only free individual is the one who is the slave of Christ. The Glory of the Lord is about to be born in the earth. More than that, we were born to await the Day of Judgment, the day of sentencing. Each of us is the product of overwhelming forces. But the Divine love of God is powerful enough to overcome all evil. He will enter the two remnants (now one stick in His hand) in the fullness of the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles. Abraham is the father of the believing circumcised Jews and the believing uncircumcised Gentiles. The Lord indeed can deliver whom He will at any time. The term “saints” means holy ones.
