Righteousness by Faith in Jesus, Rom 10:1-13

Let Not Sin Reign, Rom 6:12-23
In Rom 6:12-23 Paul explains why we should not let sin reign in our mortal bodies. He gives a practical reason, a doctrinal reason and a rational reason. We will examine each of these reasons why we should not let sin reign. The Practical Reason – Rom 6:12-16 – after we get saved sin still […]
Speaking the Truth in Love
Speaking the Truth in Love Eph. 4:11-15 As the saying goes “the truth hurts”. So speaking the truth in love is very important. We often times are given the opportunity to do it, yet we either don’t speak or don’t do it in love. The following is a testimony from my wife of a […]
Comparing Abraham’s Righteousness to Ours, Rom 4:16-25
In the last portion of Rom 4, Paul establishes that righteousness is imputed to us by faith by comparing Abrahams righteousness to ours.

In comparing Abrahams righteousness to ours we will examine […]
Imputed Righteousness, Rom 4:1-15
“Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness,” [Rom 4:3]. That is imputed righteousness; righteousness was imputed or accredited to Abraham by faith because he believed God’s promise that his seed would be as the stars of heaven for multitude [Gen 15:5-6]. Thus, God established a pattern for New Testament salvation in […]
The Righteousness of God, Rom 3:19

Thou Art Called a Jew, Rom 2:17-29
Paul now deals with Jewish pride, hypocrisy and circumcision to show each Jew that he isn’t righteous just because “thou art called a Jew.” Circumcision and a vague knowledge of the law don’t make him righteous. An uncircumcised Gentile who by nature fulfills the law is better than a circumcised Jew who doesn’t. Consider: A […]
God’s Righteous Judgment, Rom 2:1-16
The context of this passage is Rom 1:32, “the judgment of God.” Rom 1:32 says that men KNOW the judgment of God. They know that “they which commit such things are worthy of death.” Yet they do them. So, when a man judges another, he has condemned himself, because he admits there is a judgment. […]
