He gives the strongest appeal to Gentile believers to be patient with the Judaizers and legalists who believe in “Christ plus-“ their good works as the basis of an approach to God and capitulates finally to accepting the scope of his ministry as being to the Gentiles and not to his kinsmen the Jews. [Rom 15:1-14 KJV] 1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities … (click link or title to continue)

Today: [Romans 14:] Today: [Romans 14:] Allowances and Concessions in God: In chapter 14 of Romans Paul addresses very personal issues such as diet and holy days. Believers in his time were condemning one another to hell because they ate meat or worshipped on a wrong day. Things have changed little in our own day as the existence of the Christian denominational system attests. Paul gives us his judgment in pointing out allowances we may feel free to live out in our private lives and concessions we must make in our public testimony. [Rom 14:1-23 KJV] 1 Him that is … (click link or title to continue)

Could this chapter have any relevance whatsoever for modern Christians? Today political upheaval is an absolute art form even among the community of believers. What is your idea of a proper attitude toward government? Does it line up with Romans 13 and if not do we have permission to just disregard these particular passages as not applying to our day or our generation?

Today modern Christianity only recognizes one or two ministry offices, but Paul teaches something very different in Romans 12. You have a calling, and a place to serve and this chapter will help you find out what that is. [Rom 12:1-21 KJV] 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this … (click link or title to continue)

In Romans 11 Paul points out the Judaism has descended into blindness and a spirit of slumber because they did not know the day of their visitation. They fell into declension Paul says so that the gospel might be made known to the Gentile nations. What of our day? The warning from Paul is if God broke off Judaism as a natural branch in Himself what makes us think that Christianity as a wild olive branch is unconditionally secure?

Paul declares in this verse that we cannot save ourselves by religious performance or moral excellence. The righteousness of God is not found in the good works men do but in the message of the Gospel preached by those who have gone out into all the world. [Romans 10: 1-21 KJV] 1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 … (click link or title to continue)

They received the law of righteousness given through Moses, and they were the bloodline by which Jesus came into the world. They did not, however (except for a remnant) accept the salvation found in Christ and therefore they are rejected while the Gentile nations who were alienated under the Old Covenant will be accepted in the New when they come by way of faith in Christ Jesus and the finished work of Calvary.

The baptism of fire? Are we waiting on God for this or is creation waiting on us?
