Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? What a question. Unfortunately, over the years I have heard people say that you don’t have to worry about what you do because God has already forgiven you, (mainly not Christian people, thankfully). I have wondered why they… Continue reading New Creation

Consequences
Romans 5:19 For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. What a contrast between the man who wanted to be more than he was and the man who became so much less than he was. The action of the… Continue reading Consequences
Reconciled
Romans 5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. We are either for God or against God.

You cannot ‘work’ your way into heaven; salvation is a gift and is obtain by faith alone. Works are the product of our faith,… Continue reading Gold or Straw?
Unashamed
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Shame is a terrible thing to feel. It can take away hope and joy and can cause us to want to hide away.… Continue reading Unashamed
Called to Serve
Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God. If you know and love the Lord and have accepted Him as your Saviour, then take out Paul’s name and insert your own. A servant of Christ Jesus… in some translations the word is bond-servant,… Continue reading Called to Serve
