Intro
Series - Studies On The Book Of Romans
This Part - Romans chapter 12-13
Review
Romans 9-11 was mostly focused on the turning of the gospel from the Jewish people to the Gentile nations.
Romans 9 - shows why God turned to the Gentiles: God has elect people among the nations
Romans 10 - shows how Israel missed the righteousness of God despite their knowledge of the laws of God
Romans 11 - shows how Israel’s rejection was not total, nor final in the plan of God
This Part
Paul shifts to Christian living
presenting our lives before God as living sacrifices
Paul shows how this is to be practiced
by serving God through spiritual gifts
by Christian behaviors
by Submitting to government
Paul shows 2 important principles in Christian living
the law of love
the principle of living like Jesus
The Goal of Christian living
Christian living is a life of worship and service
instead of animal offerings - you present your bodies as your sacrifice
living
holy
acceptable
Christian living is attained through the renewed mind
mind - the faculty of thinking and reasoning
renewed mind - mind that is no longer conforming to the way the world thinks
the renewed mind discovers and learns the perfect will of God
God’s perfect will for our life
Service through spiritual gifts
WE SERVE GOD WHEN WE MINISTER OUR GIFTS AND THE CHURCH IS EDIFIED THROUGH THESE GIFTS.
Service through Christian Virtues
Verses 9-13 - general personal virtues
Verses 14-21 - virtues in response to evil and offenses
WE SERVE GOD WHEN OUR BEHAVIORS DEMONSTRATE THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, AND EVIL IS OVERCOME WITH GOOD.
Service through submission to authority
Earthly authorities are appointed by God
Earthly authorities have a purpose in God’s plan
Submission to authority is also a matter of conscience
WE SERVE GOD WHEN WE SUBMIT TO THE LAWS OF THE LAND BY PAYING OUR TAXES AND SUBMITTING TO AUTHORITIES.
The Two Principles of Christian Living
The obligation to love one another
Christians have a “debt” to love another person by virtue of the love of God that was shown him.
Love does no harm to a neighbor.
The anticipation of our salvation (at the Lord’s return)
salvation is very near
Christians should practice living in “the day”
Putting on Christ helps us overcome the flesh and its lust.
Conclusion
True Christianity is not a religion that determines the people’s way of life in order to be distinct from other beliefs.
True Christianity is a way of life determined by the life of Christ that dwells in us.
True Christianity is aimed at pleasing God, not men.
True Christianity anticipates the time of the Lord’s return to sin’s rule and usher in eternity with God.
