Title: A Study of Romans:


1
A Study of Romans
  • 6. Living for Jesus

2
Romans
  • Chapter 1 The Gospels Power to Save
  • Chapters 1-3 Mans need for Salvation
  • Chapters 3-5 Justification by Faith
  • Chapters 6-8 Living by Faith
  • Chapters 9-11 Gods Chosen People
  • Chapter 12-16 Living for Jesus

3
Romans 121-2 NKJV
  • I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
    of God, that you present your bodies a living
    sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your
    reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed
    to this world, but be transformed by the renewing
    of your mind, that you may prove what is that
    good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

4
Living for Jesus
  • In the body of Christ - 121-13

5
Romans 123-13 NKJV
  • For I say, through the grace given to me, to
    everyone who is among you, not to think of
    himself more highly than he ought to think, but
    to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a
    measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members
    in one body, but all the members do not have the
    same function, 5 so we, being many, are one
    body in Christ, and individually members of one
    another.

6
Romans 123-13 NKJV
  • 6 Having then gifts differing according to the
    grace that is given to us, let us use them if
    prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our
    faith 7 or ministry, let us use it in our
    ministering he who teaches, in teaching 8 he
    who exhorts, in exhortation he who gives, with
    liberality he who leads, with diligence he who
    shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

7
Romans 123-13 NKJV
  • 9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is
    evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly
    affectionate to one another with brotherly love,
    in honor giving preference to one another 11
    not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit,
    serving the Lord 12 rejoicing in hope, patient
    in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer
    13 distributing to the needs of the saints,
    given to hospitality.

Living for Jesus
  • In the body of Christ - 121-13
  • In the world 1214-1310

9
Living for Jesus
  • In the body of Christ - 121-13
  • In the world 1214-1310
  • With neighbors

10
Romans 1214-21 NKJV
  • Bless those who persecute you bless and do not
    curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and
    weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same
    mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on
    high things, but associate with the humble. Do
    not be wise in your own opinion. 17 Repay no
    one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in
    the sight of all men.

11
Romans 1214-21 NKJV
  • 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you,
    live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not
    avenge yourselves, but rather give place to
    wrath for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I
    WILL REPAY," says the Lord. 20 Therefore "IF
    YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM IF HE IS THIRSTY,
    GIVE HIM A DRINK FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP
    COALS OF FIRE ON HIS HEAD." 21 Do not be
    overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

12
Living for Jesus
  • In the body of Christ - 121-13
  • In the world 1214-1310
  • With neighbors
  • Toward government

13
Romans 131-7 NKJV
  • Let every soul be subject to the governing
    authorities. For there is no authority except
    from God, and the authorities that exist are
    appointed by God. 5 Therefore you must be
    subject, not only because of wrath but also for
    conscience' sake. 6 For because of this you
    also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers
    attending continually to this very thing. 7
    Render therefore to all their due taxes to whom
    taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to
    whom fear, honor to whom honor.

14
Living for Jesus
  • In the body of Christ - 121-13
  • In the world 1214-1310
  • With neighbors
  • Toward government
  • The law of love

15
Romans 138-10 NKJV
  • Owe no one anything except to love one another,
    for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
    9 For the commandments, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT
    ADULTERY," "YOU SHALL NOT MURDER," "YOU SHALL NOT
    STEAL," "YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS," "YOU
    SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other
    commandment, are all summed up in this saying,
    namely, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS
    YOURSELF." 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor
    therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

16
Living for Jesus
  • In the body of Christ - 121-13
  • In the world 1214-1310
  • In view of eternity 1311-14

17
Romans 1311-14 NKJV
  • And do this, knowing the time, that now it is
    high time to awake out of sleep for now our
    salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
    12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand.
    Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness,
    and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us
    walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and
    drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in
    strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus
    Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to
    fulfill its lusts.

18
Living for Jesus
  • In the body of Christ - 121-13
  • In the world 1214-1310
  • In view of eternity 1311-14
  • With brethren of differing opinions 141-1512

19
Romans 14
  • What it is discussing
  • Opinions/scruples/doubtful things (141)
  • Things God accepts (142, 18)
  • Things like
  • Eating or not eating meats (142-3 5-6)
  • Observation or non-observation of days
  • Matters regarding which we should not be judging
    others (1410)
  • Things that are clean of themselves (1414)
  • Things that are good (1416)
  • Things that are pure (1420)

20
Romans 14
  • What it is not discussing
  • Doctrinal differences on matters of faith (2 John
    9 Gal. 54)
  • Additions, subtraction or modification to or from
    revelation (Gal. 16-9)
  • Accepting anything that is not acceptable or
    authorized by God (143 1 Cor. 69-11)

21
Living for Jesus with brethren who are different
from us
  • Requires us to accept things that are not
    customary, pleasant, or reasonable to us
  • Requires us to forgo freedoms that we may
    otherwise enjoy (1421)
  • Requires us to be aware of and make allowances
    for the scruples of our brethren
  • Requires us to accept some we may be very
    different from (157)
  • Requires sacrifice, but we are trying to live our
    whole lives as a sacrifice for Christ

22
Romans 155-13 NKJV
  • Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you
    to be like-minded toward one another, according
    to Christ Jesus, 6 that you may with one mind
    and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our
    Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Therefore receive one
    another, just as Christ also received us, to the
    glory of God.

23
Romans 155-13 NKJV
  • 8 Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a
    servant to the circumcision for the truth of God,
    to confirm the promises made to the fathers, 9
    and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His
    mercy, as it is written "FOR THIS REASON I WILL
    CONFESS TO YOU AMONG THE GENTILES, AND SING TO
    YOUR NAME." 10 And again he says "REJOICE, O
    GENTILES, WITH HIS PEOPLE!" 11 And again
    "PRAISE THE LORD, ALL YOU GENTILES! LAUD HIM, ALL
    YOU PEOPLES!"

24
Romans 155-13 NKJV
  • 12 And again, Isaiah says "THERE SHALL BE A
    ROOT OF JESSE AND HE WHO SHALL RISE TO REIGN
    OVER THE GENTILES, IN HIM THE GENTILES SHALL
    HOPE." 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with
    all joy and peace in believing, that you may
    abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

25
Are you a Living Sacrifice for Jesus?
  • Is your whole life on the altar?
  • Do you think He is worth sacrificing for?
  • Is the purpose of your life obvious to those
    among whom you live and work?

26
Conditions of Justification
  • Believe (John 824)
  • Repent (Luke 135)
  • Confess (Rom. 1010 Matt. 1032-33)
  • Be Baptized (Mk. 1616 John 35)
  • Live Faithfully (Rev. 211)
