Righteousness of God
(Romans 3:21-22) The righteousness of God does not depend upon, nor is it based upon works of the law. As I showed in my last post, the law served to show what sin is and to give man the knowledge of sin. The law is NOT sin but it showed sin up for what it…

What Is Sin?
(Romans 3:19-20) These two verses hold some very interesting and important information, not the least of which is the question that is the title of this post. What is sin? The verses read as follows: 19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that…

None Are Righteous
(Romans 3:9-18) The opening verse of this section poses both a question and it's answer as Paul writes in verse 9, What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, Every person born into this world has been…

God Is Just
(Romans 3:5-8) God is just. His justice is perfect and not susceptible to the weaknesses and failings of mans justice. God sees all things and knows all things and so when He judges, it is a just judgement based upon all truth and all evidence. When man judges he does not always have all the…

It Doesn’t Matter What You Think
(Romans 3:1-4) There is a saying that has been doing the rounds for a while that goes something like this. “Atheists don't believe in God, but God doesn't believe in atheists.” The essence of this saying is basically what this section of Romans 3 is all about. It doesn't matter what you or I or…

Heart Of The Matter
(Romans 2:25-29) Circumcision was the sign given to Abraham as an outward recognition of the faith that he had in the promises that God had given to him. It was a sign that sealed the covenant of faith between God, Abraham and his descendants. But what is important to note in this is that it…

Hypocrisy Condemned
(Romans 2:17-24) What is the worst thing that people hate in other people? Hypocrisy! And it is alo one of the things that God despises too, as Jesus showed again and again especially when He spoke to the Pharisees. Nobody likes a person who says one thing but does the opposite. The hypocrite is a…

It Is Not the Hearers of The Law Who Are Righteous
(Romans 2:12-16) If there is one thing that defines what civilisation is, it is the rule and structure of law. The establishment of a society based upon a set of agreed and accepted laws is what enabled societies to build, grow and prosper. And even today the rule of law is seen to be a…

God Shows No Partiality
(Romans 2:6-11) People talk about the two great inevitabilities being death and taxes. However neither of those is inevitable as we can be set free from death in Jesus Christ and if you know how you can legally avoid taxes. But there is one thing that truly is an inevitability, and that is the God…

Judgement
(Romans 2:1-5) Judgement is such an important issue in the church and for every person in the world, not just the Christians. Paul writes about judgement and hypocrisy in this section of scripture for they are connected in some ways and some cases. If I were to summarise this section using a modern saying it…

When God Gave Up
(Romans 1:24-32) Can you imagine the possibility where God gives up? How bad must a situation become if God gives up? Well it has happened! In this section of scripture Paul writes and describes not once but three times where God gave up. Three times in this section we see that God gave up on…

Seeing But Not Believing
(Romans 1:18-23) They say there are none so blind as they who will not see. And this is an apt and accurate description for those who choose to reject a God and seek to understand the world around us without accepting His sovereign power. They also say that seeing is believing and many reject God…
