Description: In our study of Romans 1 today, we concentrated on the righteousness that comes through Christ alone and the gift of faith through which it is displayed in His people as they "seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness", just as Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount.

The concluding verses of Romans 3 ask the questions centered around the heart of the gospel message.  "In what do we boast as Christians?", Paul asks.  Is it the Law that saves or our works?  Is it the circumcision of the flesh that saves? Our answer reveals where our faith lies.  Only one justifies us before a Holy God.

Doug McCary shared a special message today from 2 Timothy 2:14-19 dealing with the importance of our diligence in properly handling the Word of Truth and protecting the Body from false teachers that are creeping in unaware.  Doug repented of our involvement and promotion of the TV series 'The Chosen' because of their affirmation  of people who put forth a false gospel and unbiblical content.

In our study of Romans 4 this week, we looked at the Gospel message as displayed in the lives of the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the sons of Israel.  In their lives we find the message of God's righteousness credited through FAITH to the most unexpected people, at the most unexpected times, and in the most unexpected ways, yet a common thread and a common promise connects them all.

Romans 4 2 - 28 - 24

In Romans 5:1-11, Paul describes the gift of GRACE, (God's Righteousness at Christ's Expense) as the way through which we have PEACE with God again; the way we have been reconciled to Him; and the way through which the veil that separates us has been torn, gaining our access to oneness with our Creator.  This is ETERNAL LIFE and in this we have found our HOPE!

Romans 5A  3 - 6-24

Romans 5:12-21 is a comparative description of the two communities of people that comprise mankind.  The first live under the headship of Adam, through whom they inherit a sinful nature and the penalty of death imputed to them as an inheritance of the seed of the first man, Adam.  Those whose names were written in the Lambs Book of Life before the foundations of the earth were laid, are redeemed from their life of sin and death and are imputed with the righteousness of God through grace by the gift of faith in Christ' and are born again to eternal life, living under the headship of Jesus Christ, the last Adam.

Romans 5B 3 - 27 - 24

Romans 6 begins with a fundamental question from Paul to believers in Rome.  "Do you not know?"  They did know!  Paul's question was rhetorical.  Of course these believers knew that when they were baptized into Christ, they were baptized into His death.  To be baptized "into Christ" was a given in the 1st Century.  But do those of us who know Jesus as Lord in the 21st Century understand this concept of living "In Christ" as clearly as we should?  We take a closer look at Romans 6A this week to make sure that we do.

Romans 6A 4 - 3-24

This week we reviewed again the words of Paul in Romans 6:1-14, this time from the perspective of our baptism 'in Christ' and what this baptism into His death means in our fight against sin, as His righteousness is applied to our account unto eternal life.  The power of sin has been broken and what once had dominion over us no longer has it's hold as we are raised to life with Christ in His resurrection and empowered to walk in the inheritance given to us as proclaimed over us in our baptism... the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Romans 6B 5

In Romans 6:11-23 Paul ends this rich chapter by teaching his hearers what it means to live as those "dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus."  Sin no longer has authority over us, therefore we are free to offer ourselves as slaves to God who offer our bodies as instruments of righteousness, "working out our salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in us to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose." (Philippians 2:13)

Romans 6C  4 - 17 - 24

Romans 7:1-6 is an introduction to a life lived apart from the law that has bound us as sinners since birth.  Paul uses the analogy of marriage and as a women's study, we can clearly relate to this union and what it means to live in it until death ends its bond.  Through Christ our marriage to Adam has ended in death and we are no longer bound to bear fruit to sin but to marry another (namely Christ) and bear fruit unto life eternal.  Our lives have been redeemed from a marriage unto death to one that leads to life everlasting!

Romans 7  4 - 24 - 24

In Romans 7:7-25 Paul revisits the role of the Law in the believers life, building on his teaching in Romans 2 that it is the "embodiment of knowledge and truth".  It is this TRUTH opposed to the LIES of the enemy still at work in our sinful flesh that Paul addresses here, pointing to the Law of God not as an instrument of death, but as LIFE, having been delivered through Jesus Christ our Lord!
