Romans 6:15-19

15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that [l]though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

Romans 6 (Introduction)

1What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be [d]done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Romans 5:12-21

We have been studying Romans. Focus: The Gift of Justification or Righteousness. We have been Justified! We have been declared Righteous! Gift of Justification 1. We have communion with God 2. We have eternal life. 3. We can be in the right relationship with God forever

We exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ...Romans 5:1-11

The door of Justification leads us into the abundance of the Christian life! Here are some of the scriptures we are going to be looking at... Philippians 4:7 John 14:27 Colossians 3:15 II Corinthians 12:9-10 Proverbs 13:12 John 7:38-39

Faith is necessary for our Christian life. Romans 4:13-25

We are going through the Book of Romans The theme of the book: The Gospel --The Righteousness of God revealed In this video, you are going to hear more about faith and how we should understand Biblical faith.

Justification By Faith (Romans 4:1-12)

Romans is a study of the Gospel, the Good News. After telling us how all of us are unrighteous, we are told about God's Gift of Justification (or Righteousness) An understanding of Righteousness is necessary for us to understand the rest of the Gospel. #christianlife

Romans 3:27-31

The great Gift of Righteousness -The Gospel begins with the Gift of Righteousness -This is a Gift that is needed by everyone -This is a Gift that has been purchased by the blood of Jesus -We can now go before God in full confidence, in complete right standing before our God Some of the passages we are going to be looking at including Romans 3:27-31 are... I Peter 1:18-19, Romans 5:9, Hebrews 10:19-20...22-23, Hebrews 4:16, Revelation 7:9...13-15...12:10-12, Hebrews 10:29, Romans 1:17

Romans 3:21-26

In Romans 3:21-26 we have perhaps one of the most truth-packed two sentences ever written. God’s plan of salvation is clearly presented. Specifically, it tells us of the Gift of Justification. This is the greatest gift ever known to mankind. This is a Gift we receive by faith. It is a gift purchased at a very high cost, the blood of Jesus Christ. It is through this Gift that we receive forgiveness of our sins, eternal life, and all that God has prepared for us!

Romans 2:1-3:30

In this session we look at Romans 2:1 through Romans 3:20. Like last time, we continue to look at the “bad news” that characterizes the first three chapters of Romans. We see that these chapters describe three categories of people….those who are noticeably enslaved to sin, the moralist, and the religious person. Everyone falls into one of these categories. We see in these chapters that all of us are found unrighteous and all of us face the consequences of sin. This section of Romans prepares us for the “Good News” that we begin to look at in our next session.

Romans 1:18-32

Today’s passage is Romans 1:18-32. This begins a section in Romans that goes through to the middle of chapter 3. We might call this section “The Bad News.” In this passage, we see how sin leads to more sin. In fact, it is like a giant mudslide or avalanche. Sin, and its consequences, get worse and worse, and faster and faster. All people, all of society, and every institution man creates follow this pattern, more or less. And apart from God’s intervention with the Gospel, the message is bleak and scary. Why talk so much about the bad news? Because it provides a contrast to when we get to the Good News! It makes us appreciate and see so much clearer the Good News!
