What is sin? In Romans chapters 1 and 2, we saw sin defined as disobedience to truth, a transgression against what’s right and falling short of the glory of God. The standard is God’s glory and anything less is sin. In this episode we summarise Romans 3:9 before moving through to verses 10 to 20. […]
Can you lose your salvation or once you’re saved are you always saved? This has been a long-standing debate in Christianity for centuries. Some believe salvation can be lost, while others believe it is eternally secure. “Speed Slider” Press on image to open larger size Can We Lose Our Salvation? – Transcript The debate persists […]
In this episode we’re in the final parts of Paul’s teaching that all men are without excuse and all are under sin and it’s a continuation of the previous chapters. As you know, the chapter divisions and the paragraphs in our Bible are not inspired but words, every one of them, are and we’ve got […]
We start this article titled “When the Last Days Came” by attempting to communicate the fact that even though we, as Christians today, know things revealed through the Apostle Paul and from scripture, not everyone in the Bible knew those things even though it’s the same God operating throughout scripture. “Speed Slider” When The Last […]
We finished last time in Romans 2:29 and we discussed in detail the foundation that Paul laid in Romans 2 about righteousness, sin and self-righteousness and what that looks like. We saw how circumcision becomes uncircumcision by failing to actually do the law. This is all vital to our understanding of salvation and why salvation […]
In this article, “When We Die” we talk about what happens when we die and after we die. Some might say that this’s pretty basic, we’ve learned this in kids’ Sunday school and that’s true. But we often forget the implications of believing what happens after we die. This might be a new perspective that […]
Paul writes in Romans 2:16 …in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel. We understand that Paul was given apostleship and a gospel, and a dispensation was revealed to him directly by the Lord Jesus Christ and we know that his apostleship was separate from […]
We’re moving slowly through Romans 2 for a good reason. While it’s exciting to reach the gospel message in Romans 3, 4, and 5, we’ve got to first understand Romans 1 and 2, which address truths that many in our culture, including churches, often neglect. If we don’t we’ll misunderstand the very reason for the […]
In this episode we’re still in Romans 2 and Paul’s describing God’s judgment. We’re actually still in the context of Romans 1 where Paul’s giving reasons why he’s ready to preach the gospel, the power of God to salvation. He’s writing the believers in Rome and gives his credentials as an apostle, and he tells […]
We’re beginning Romans chapter 2 in this episode and the first thing we notice is that the first word in Romans 2:1 is the word “Therefore”. This means that it’s a continuation of the last line of thought that precedes this and that’s of course what we discussed in the last episode in Romans 1. […]
