Romans

“And, being assembled together with them, (Jesus) commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem , but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.5: For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.” And certainly it wasn’t many days hence. Exactly 10 days […]

For the last two lessons, we have been looking at Chapter 12. Although the Word of God can lift us to the heavenlies, in this section we are definitely where the rubber meets the road. Last time, beginning at Verse 9, we studied “The Christian and those within God’s family.” The bottom line was love.

Last time we looked at the gifts of the Holy Spirit which God has given individual believers for the edification of the church. Yes, each of us has a gift, or gifts, and a responsibility to use them. However, Romans 12:3 cautions us “to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the

Romans Chapter 12 begins a new section that we can call The believers guide book for practical Christian living. C.I. Schofield’s heading for verses 1 and 2 is “Dedication.” In these verses, God places great emphasis on the physical bodies of Christians. Our bodies are very important because they are the only contact we have with the

Our last lesson in Romans Chapter 9 concerned God’s chosen people Israel . In that chapter, we learned how the Gospel of God affected them dispensationally and historically. And we were made aware of the fact that God is sovereign. God’s purposes where not defeated by Israel ’s rejection of their Messiah. Rather, their rejection only postponed the promised kingdom, and

Certainly, there had been a great ingathering of precious Jewish souls on the day of Pentecost, and the Lord “added to the church daily such as should be saved.” However, for the most part, Israel remained steadfast in its rejection of God’s Son. At the temple, the sacrifices were still being offered, and the elaborate ritual of Judaism

There are a lot of parallels between the earthly and the heavenly found in scripture. For instance, Christians call God their Father, and collectively they are referred to as the bride of Christ, relationships that we can readily understand. So we shouldn’t be surprised when we find Jesus cautioning Nicodemus, “Except a man be born again (or

As we concluded Chapter 7, the struggle was still going on, even in the midst of hope. V 25 “— So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” Not a good situation, and not one that God can condone. But, unfortunately, it’s a situation that prevails in

Well, a great deal of ground has been covered in the first 6 chapters of Romans. Perhaps this would be a good time for a short review. As you might remember, the first three chapters deal with man’s total depravity. God’s final verdict has made it painfully apparent — “all have sinned, and come short
