Living Sacrifices (Romans 12:1-8)
The theme of the first 11 chapters of the Apostle Paul’s inspired letter to the followers of Christ at Rome is God’s mercy in granting salvation to sinners. Without God’s mercy, all of us would perish because we fall short of God’s expectations and standards. This raises a question. How should we respond to the […]
Mercy On Them All (Romans 11:25-36)
We enjoy stories in which the characters overcome seemingly impossible odds. They face a situation which threatens to overwhelm them or destroy them and there is no way out. Then, when hope is almost gone, the consequences of a choice made much earlier change the situation and provide a solution. We like to read about […]
Riches For The Gentiles (Romans 11:11-24)
It is probably true that almost all people live with a sense of failure. Very few of us are able to accomplish everything we would like to do. Even the things we do accomplish rarely reach the level of perfection we would like. In a more profound sense, we fail to reach our full potential. […]
A Remnant Chosen By Grace (Romans 11:1-10)
We humans have the tendency to let the principle of “collective guilt” influence our actions. For example, if a foreign government does something we don’t like, we will insult or harass a person from that country even though he had nothing whatever to do with the incident, has no influence over the policy of his […]
Good News (Romans 10:14-21)
Businesspeople face a two-part problem. First, they must provide a product or service which others are willing to buy. Secondly, they must let others know that the product or service is available. For example, suppose someone starts a restaurant. His kitchen may be spotlessly clean. He may use only the finest ingredients in his dishes. […]
The Word Is Near You (Romans 10:5-13)
There is a saying that, “Ignorance gets us into trouble and pride keeps us there.” The reason pride often prevents us from escaping the situation we are in is that we don’t like to admit that we are wrong. We don’t like to confess that we have made a mistake. In the Old Testament there […]
A Righteousness That Is By Faith (Romans 9:27-10:4)
When a painter paints a picture the paint does not have any right to say what kind of picture he should paint. When a potter forms a utensil the clay does not have any say in what kind of pot it ought to be. Further, the painter and the potter can destroy their work if […]
The Riches of His Glory (Romans 9:19-26)
Inequality is an undeniable fact of life. Some people have much, others have little. Some have the opportunity to receive a good education while others do not. Some enjoy good health, others are crippled or suffer chronic illnesses. Some people live in areas of the world which enjoy peace, while others face social unrest, terrorism […]
God’s Purpose (Romans 9:1-18)
One of the messages of the Apostle Paul’s inspired letter to the church at Rome is that there is nothing which can separate the followers of Christ from God’s love. No matter what the situation is; whatever dangers or persecution they may have to face, there is nothing in all of heaven or earth which […]
More Than Conquerors (Romans 8:28-39)
There are great benefits to belonging to Christ. For example, He frees us from our slavery to sin. God also promises the followers of Christ that they will share in Christ’s glory. Unfortunately, there is also a cost to following Christ. If we wish to share in Christ’s glory, we must also be willing to […]
