It seemed reasonable that the Greeks should in turn share their material wealth with the Jews. What does Paul ask the Jew, therefore? To whom is Paul speaking at this point? The substance of the discussion from Chapters One through Eight is the transgression of the Divine standards of moral righteousness, and the provision God has made under the new covenant for delivering people from the guilt and the power of the transgressions. 49. He will appear in the clouds and we shall appear with Him as an inseparable, integral part of His Presence. It seems clear that Paul is thinking about the moral conduct of human beings, especially of those in the lustful city of Rome—Jews and Gentiles alike. When a Christian church becomes full of people seeking revenge, being filled with unforgiveness, that church has lost its testimony. But on what promise will our faith rest? “And the God of peace shall bruise [crush] Satan under your feet shortly.”, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.”. In that Day we will give a precise accounting of our actions, words, and thoughts while we lived on the earth. Pursue and practice hospitality. Whom did Christ strive always to please? –Kerr, Introduction to New Testament Study. Of what fact was Paul convinced in the Lord Jesus? Hi David, Thanks for sharing this info on Romans 12. 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. 25. We must enter the process of sanctification. What principle of moral servitude does Paul give us? 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. Godly character and behavior are the only proof, the very demonstration, of salvation. We can determine if the Holy Spirit is dwelling in us by the kind of behavior we are manifesting. “Well,” one will ask, “did God us so we would be able to keep His commandments?”. The Ten Commandments were given several hundred years later. Today we complete our study in the book of Romans. Meanwhile, the righteous are enjoying the peace of the Lord. Here is a remarkable fact indeed. 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). Paul desired to impart to them some spiritual gift so they would be strengthened and established in the faith. Yet their destiny has been known to God for the thousands of years the Scriptures have been in existence. “Before the time”! 44. Is this what Jesus meant? Walk in love. 38. 15. 15. If we are walking in the Spirit of God we are not under the guilt imposed by the Law of Moses. If you read it carefully and slowly brood over what it says with prayer and humility, the book of Romans will open itself to you gloriously. The final state of maturity will be revealed as the Christian shines as part of Christ’s resurrection in the Day of the Lord. If we choose to live according to the desires of our physical body we will forfeit these glorious opportunities of life and service. 7. You who say a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? Because our ancestors, Adam and Eve, consented to join the ranks of the spirits in rebellion against God, they and every one of their descendants were convicted of iniquity and brought under slavery to the compulsion of sin. What is the relationship of the Christian saint to the Law of Moses? Why was Christ raised from among the dead? If Satan can do that he can bring the Christian down to defeat. Part of: Wiersbe Bible Study (47 Books) | by Warren W. Wiersbe | Jun 1, 2008. Notice the difference between the two passages. Our new personality shall overcome the world; it does not sin (I John 3:9; 5:4). Zion speaks also of war in that the area of Zion was associated with the defense of the city of Jerusalem (II Samuel 5:7-9). As a result, Satan in them is speaking against the ways and people of the God of Heaven. 33. Who put the creation in subjection to vanity? As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. Then they were raised from the dead by being permeated in every aspect of their personality with the Divine Person and Virtue of the Lord Jesus Christ. If we are not living a righteous and holy life we are not walking in the Spirit, we are not living in the Kingdom of God. The Law of Moses, including all aspects of the first covenant, retains no authority over the Christian. Such preaching is found throughout Paul’s Epistles. The mythological view of eternal residence in Heaven as the goal of the Divine redemption may have originated in the Catholic churches and undoubtedly was due to the influence of Gnosticism, which teaches that matter is inherently evil and spirit is inherently good. What else did the Spirit of Christ state in Isaiah? What is true of each person who believes in Christ? 54. Righteousness and peace lead us to joy. If He does not, the end of the age is surely at hand and multitudes of believers will face destruction in the day of resurrection. You will leave the using of Christ to the members of the Laodicean church—the church of the rights of people. If any person is in Christ a new creation is coming forth, and all elements of the new creation are of God. We often see such adamic traits well advanced in older Christians. The disciples of Christ are known by their love one for another. 31. We come under guilt, under condemnation. He hopes to convince the inhabitants of the heavens, and mankind, that God should grant him amnesty. To practice sorcery? We are crucified to our whole first personality and our whole first personality is crucified to us. 24. 18. 10. It is as simple as that. When the Law comes, sin “revives” because the Law brings to us the knowledge of sin. He soon will come and destroy such spirits with a wrath incomprehensible to human beings. This error in understanding has perverted beyond recognition the Gospel of grace taught by the Apostle Paul. 48. What does Paul know to be true of his flesh? What flows forth as an inseparable aspect of holiness in the Presence of God? Under the new covenant our Father directs every aspect of our daily life. Remain in fellowship with the brothers and sisters, not allowing himself to become lifted up in pride. Few people know Romans as well as Dr. Moo. If we will believe God has forgiven us through Christ, that Christ has been raised from the dead, and that we too will be raised from the dead, God will declare us righteous apart from the works of the Law just as He declared Abraham righteous apart from the works of the Law. If we do less than that we will have to give an answer for our lack of diligence when we see Him. Paul’s employment of the term works does not refer to upright, godly behavior, but to the Law of Moses or a similar body of religious observances. 14. If we do not, we will not be glorified in the Day of the Lord. The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. But Satan’s power (the amount of power Christ allows Satan to exercise, because all authority and power in Heaven and on the earth is held by Christ) prevents us and the nations of the earth from practicing righteousness. I don’t know if that’s exactly true, but I can see how it could be. 14. What have some people accused Paul of teaching? The Sabbath commandment has nothing to do with throwing a light switch or riding in an elevator. It appears he did not clearly understand the relationship of circumcision to Christ’s salvation (Galatians 2:14). We are not to be yielding the members of our body as slaves to sin, as instruments, tools, of unrighteousness. We are not to struggle ineffectively with the lusts of our flesh. Usually it is the pride and self-seeking of the Christian that causes him to break rules and resist the law. The ministries and gifts given to the Christian Church are for the purpose of building the Body of Christ into maturity in the Head. There is no more critical area of the Christian discipleship than that of vengeance for wrong done. 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. 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? It is made up of many parts, each of which has a special use in the body. The Torah written in our mind and heart is not the letter of the Law of Moses but the eternal moral law of God. 1. The startling truth of Romans 8:11 is that the resurrection is at work in us now. The blood of Christ reveals the righteousness of the Lord God of Heaven. What should we do for our enemy if he is hungry? We absolutely must hold up our physical body a living sacrifice to the Lord. Sin is not reckoned, not charged to our account. It is extremely important to keep in mind that God is not creating sons apart from Himself. In almost every case, God will enable the Christian to keep all the laws made by man. The words of the Lord have to do with the individual who is tempted to harbor hatred in his heart, not with the criminal justice system. What can the sincere disciple do in order to escape from this influence? Freedom from condemnation and release from the slavery imposed by sin restore us to the state of innocence in which Adam and Eve began. It is speaking of the redemption, the resurrection that will take place in us at the coming of the Lord. The experienced saint understands that he always must be on his guard against the lusts of his flesh and soul. The grace of God under the new covenant assists those who take up their cross and follow Jesus. Read Isaiah 40:13,14. Our faith in these two facts causes God to regard us as righteous. It is not at all true, as Paul explains later. 1 Corinthians Jude and 2 Peter. No individual possesses anything at all except what God has given to him, including his own conscious existence. The Christian who does not, after a reasonable period of time, begin to bear the fruit of Christ likeness, will be removed from the Vine by the Father (John 15:2). To lie and steal? The resurrection life is in us now, waiting for the Father’s time to be exercised. This “sell,” this commercialization of spiritual principles, cannot be found among the patriarchs or the Prophets or Apostles. Judah portrays the remnant of Jews, and Joseph (Ephraim) portrays the remnant of Gentiles. The Jews were supposed to approach the Law with faith, thus learning to walk in righteousness before the Lord. The Jewish Apostles preached the Gospel of the Kingdom. As we have stated, God will regard us as righteous if we continue to serve Him through Christ. Why did the Lord Jesus Christ not open the prison door two thousand years ago? Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount (the fifth through the seventh chapters of Matthew) in which he described how men should live. The transformation of our mortal body by the resurrection life of Christ will establish us as sons of God, just as Christ was declared to be the Son of God when the Holy Spirit exercised the power that raised Him from the dead (Romans 1:14). What shall take place in our life if we truly have been married to the Lord Jesus Christ? Many Christian people would find it quite difficult to explain the principal points of difference. “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork” (Psalms 19:1). What does this fact tell us concerning the natural branches that had been cut off from the holy root? In view of the long-standing Hebrew traditions governing eating and drinking, combined with the lack of such ordinances under the new covenant, it is not surprising that food and drink became a topic of concern in assemblies that contained both Jews and Gentiles. Of all the laws, statutes, and ordinances, none asked for the offering of the body of the believer as a living sacrifice, a thing devoted totally to the Lord for His glory. Because each of us one day will stand before the judgment seat of God, bowing our knee to the Lord Jesus and giving praise to God.
