Hebrews 12:28 (NKJV) “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear”

Romans 1:16 (NKJV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for IT IS THE POWER of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 “Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good.”

-Spending time with God and learning to hear the voice of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (AMP) For our sake He made Christ to be sin Who knew no sin,

so that in and through Him we might become, endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of the righteousness of God,

what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness.

So today, as we continue our look into Romans, we’ve got to get this settled.

Seriously, how many ways can Paul say it, Jesus alone makes us righteous.

And the Gospel alone is the power of God to salvation.

Our assignment is simply becoming better stewards of the Gospel.

There is only one life in Christ and it is a life of faith. As a matter of fact in Colossians Paul tells us that the same way we received Christ is how we now walk in Him.

Romans 4:24-25,NLT- It was recorded for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in Him, the One who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

He was handed over to die because of our sins, and He was RAISED TO LIFE to make us right with God

As we continue our look into the Holy Spirit’s address to the Roman church, remember, Paul’s letter comes with a certain level of maturity and directness as he addresses the issues of a church that’s had some success, but are being pulled from the ungodly and the religious world.

His mission is to glorify the gospel while at the same time unifying the church.

So for the church today, the Holy Spirit absolutely knew what we would be facing and He’s still reminding us of the fact that God knows the power of free will. And by design, from the beginning, the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world is the only answer.
