Romans 7:13 - 25

Struggling with sin

Romans 7:1 - 12

When we stumble in our Christian walk, sometimes we tend to then follow the Law, making our list of things we will do to try to make amends with God. The Law will never produce fruit, only failure - because we can't follow the Law without breaking some part of it. The Law is not the problem, the Law is holy, righteous and good (vs 12). It is only by grace that we can stand.

Matthew 24:37

As it as in the days of Noah

Romans 6:15 - 23

We are a slave to somebody - it's our choice. We are a slave to the one whom we obey. A slave to sin which leads to death or a slave to obedience which leads to eternal life in Jesus Christ. Pursue God and righteousness as we had pursued sin & wickedness before we were saved by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Romans 6:1 -14

Dead to sin / Alive in Christ

Romans 5:6 - 21

Paul reminds us that when we were still powerless, and while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Through Adam, all men were condemned, BUT one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. Thank you, Jesus!

Romans 5:1-5

The fact that through Jesus and what He did on the cross, we are at peace with God, we are no longer an enemy of the Father. Knowing this should bring a rejoicing - knowing where we were and now where we are, and where we will be. But it's not an easy time - there will be suffering. The Word says we are to rejoice in that suffering because if we persevere during the suffering, it will bring character, being transformed into the likeness of His Son. And that character will bring hope that does not disappoint.

Romans 4:1 - 25

Abraham justified by faith

Romans 3:21 - 31

Righteousness from God through Faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:1 - 20

No one is righteous, not even one.
But thanks be to God for His faithfulness.
