Glorious Freedom (Romans 8:18-27)
We usually do not like to wait. If we have a need, we want that need to be met now – not at some future date. For example, if we are hungry, we want to eat now, not next week. The longer it takes for our meal to be prepared, the more impatient we become. […]
Sons of God (Romans 8:9-17)
Children often look like their parents. For example, a daughter looks the same as her mother did at the same age. She has the same dimple in her chin. Her smile is the same. Her nose has the same shape. Sometimes these physical resemblances hold true for several generations. There is also another way in […]
No Condemnation (Romans 8:1-8)
From time to time there is a miscarriage of justice. An innocent person is convicted of a crime and sent to prison for something he didn’t do. We quite rightly become angry when we hear about cases like this. Such things ought not to happen. They are an affront to our concept of what is […]
Nothing Good Lives In Me (Romans 7:14-25)
Slavery has been part of the story of mankind for most of recorded history. It seems that all peoples and all cultures have, at one time or another, practiced slavery. Even today, when most countries have outlawed the practice, many thousands of people are sold into bondage each year. Many thousands of others are kept […]
Sin Killed Me (Romans 7:7-13)
Most people would probably agree that newborn babies are innocent. They have done nothing wrong or bad. In the same way, most would agree that small children are also innocent though they do things which we would never accept or tolerate from adults. Why do we consider young children innocent even though they misbehave? It […]
A New Way of Service (Romans 7:1-6)
Most people agree that the way to please God is to live a holy and blameless life. They are right. However, the problem we face is that we are not holy and blameless. All of us have violated God’s standards and become sinners. In this way, God’s Law which was supposed to direct us and […]
Slaves To Righteousness (Romans 6:17-23)
Scripture tells us that God is good. Yet, we need only look around us to see that evil is everywhere. If God is good, then why is there so much evil? Not only is evil very prevalent, it often seems like it is increasing and getting worse in character. Why does a good, all-powerful God […]
Alive To God (Romans 6:8-17)
Many people have a negative view of religion, and Christianity in particular, because they think of it in terms of prohibitions. In their minds, religions consist of a list of rules which prevent them from doing what they want to do. It is true that the followers of Christ will refrain from doing many things. […]
We Died To Sin (Romans 5:20-6:7)
We have a tendency to think that if something is good, more is better. However, this often is not true. For example, if taking medicine cures you of an illness it does not mean that a larger dose will be even more beneficial. On the contrary, a larger dose might kill you. Likewise, we need […]
Through One Man (Romans 5:12-19)
Regardless of whether we are rich or poor, whether we are highly educated or have no schooling at all, no matter where we live or whatever our background and culture happens to be, we all have one thing in common: we die. How did death come into the world? The Bible records how it happened. […]
