Romans

[ccgr]

I enjoy spending my Sunday afternons with my family, go to the park, friend/family house or shopping

1. powerless, sinners, enemies

rebellious, undeserving of God's grace

2. peace with God, access to grace, saved from wrath, reconciled to Him, rejoice in Him

3. by the shedding of Christ's blood on the cross, our sins have been forgiven

4. The hope is Christ's return

5. While we were His enemies he still sent His son to die for us

6. God knew about the requirement for man's salvation when He created us. Christ was in control of His life and ended it as His bidding.

7. If he did that while we were his enemies, He'll do so much more now that we have a relationship with Him

8. suffering builds hope, perseverance and character

9. But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don't be afraid and don't worry.

I know that God did a lot to reach out to us, I never really thought about how rebellious we were before hand. We should be forgiving to everyone even if it's not deserved. Romans 5:10 is my favorite verse, I can't wait to see what is in store for me It brings me joy to know that God has my back

[Chozon1]

Probably playing videro games or playing/writing music. Sometimes, just finding a quiet place to sit and listen to music for hours. Toss in a pizza, and you've got heaven on earth.

1) Powerless, Sinners, and enemies of God. Weak, spineless monsters filled with evil but unable to do more than harm our own selves.

2) Peace with God. God's grace. Saved from God's wrath. Reconciled to God, and saved. Joy.

3) Jesus removed a barrier between us and God, and drew us to Him.

4) The hope of being with Jesus for all eternity, becoming heirs with Him.

5) It's unending, self sacrificial, and He loves us when we have not a thing to give back to Him, through our sin, and He loved us when we were monsters.

6) God sent Him at a time when He could save all nations, before God's judgment is poured out onto the world.

7) That it's filled with joy beyond words.

A testing of faith produces perseverance, and perseverance produces hope for the future. Suffering for Christ's sake, not for deserved punishment.

I guess I knew people were evil, but never really thought of that as all people. I did fall prey to thinking I wasn't so bad a few times too. The whole passage is encouraging, really. It needs be applied heavily. There are so many ways I could love others, not just in word, but in deed. And show them love even if they hurt me. I suppose I take for granted the future God has for me. I usually look forward to getting a job and spending the first paycheck on junkfood. XD I'ma try to amend that.

[ccgr]

No one famous in my family that I know...I can only go back to great grandparents

1. One man sins vs one man saves

condemnation vs justification

death vs life

condemnation vs righteousness

disobedience vs obedience

2. eating the forbidden fruit, an innocent man dying to forgive sins for everyone

3. It took one man to mess it up and Christ was the only "man" to fix it

4. every human, every human who accepts Christ's gift

5. death came to all mankind since all of mankind has sinned

6. Everyone has sinned in one form or another, you break any sin you are guilty

7. by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many
gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ
But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

Yeah Adam blew it but I'm no better, I'm a sinner just the same. I'm grateful Christ died so that my sins are forgiven, big and small. Justice is brought down daily in courts worldwide. Sometimes the trials are rigged or the wrong person is being accused. Adam started it all, Christ finished it.

[Chozon1]

My uncle is into history, and has traced it back quite a way. Supposedly, if you go up one side of my family, you hit Pat Garret. Go up the other and you get Billy The Kid. XD Dunno if that's true or not.

1)

A. Adam trespass brought sin to the world, Jesus brought the gift of Grace.

B. Adam brought Judgment, but Jesus brought justification.

C. Adam's sin brought death, but Jesus brought Life.

D. With sin comes condemnation, but with grace comes justification.

E. The disobedience of one made us sinners, but the obedience of one will make us righteous.

2) When Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the fruit, and when Jesus died on the cross.

3) Adam was the head of a new people, and so is Jesus. It only took one man to break the planet, and it only took One to fix it.

4) All people. Everyone on this planet has sinned. The ones made righteous are those who believe in Jesus, and accept God's grace.

5) Evil and sin were still in the world, just not recognized. Like a virus that hasn't resulted in symptoms yet.

6) Adam was the first human, he disobeyed God, and everyone else came from his lineage.

7)

*A. "...how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!"

*B. "...how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ."

*C. "...But where sin increased, grace increased all the more."

Even if Adam's sin hadn't been credited to me, I've messed up so much it wouldn't really matter either. But to quote a song "The beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair". God's great gift is so wonderful it's beyond description. I will die because of Adam, but that's OK, because I'll end up living because of Christ.

It happens a lot in court, or even in families. Before a certain age, anything the child does the parent has to pay for.

I think he did it because Jesus was the "new" Adam. And to show that one man broke the world, and One man fixed it. ^_^

*Trimmed, and emphasis was added by me.

My first job was at a hot dog joint, I only worked there for a month and made minimum wage...I think that was $4.25 an hour back then...

The questioner understands that God gives us grace

The questioner suggested that we should sin more to get more grace

Baptism symbolizes death and resurrection in Christ

Our sinful self died with Christ we will resurrect with Him, until then we should walk with Him

If we're walking with Christ, we want to sin Less!

We were slaves to sin

Christ frees us

Our old selves are crucified with Him

We will be resurrected and united with Christ for eternity

We want to be holy and Christ like

Be dead to sin, ignore physical temptation, do not offer yourself to sin

I think most Christians take sin seriously, though a few take God's grace for granted

The best way to avoid sin is to not flirt with it

We'll always sin but we need to pick ourselves up again

I'm thankful for God's grace

[Chozon1]

My first job was scrubbing that green nastiness that grows on vinyl siding off of a local hair salon. My Dad helped because I'm terrified of ladders, but I got paid somewhere around $175 to scrub the whole house.

1) That God's grace is big enough to cover out every sin.

2) That Christians can continue to sin, and live as they did before knowing Jesus.

3) Our death to the old way of living.

4) That we died with Him on the cross, our old nature was crucified, and we will rise with Him again some day.

5) If my old nature is dead, why should I keep letting it have control?

6) I was a slave to it.

7) It is no longer our master.

The old nature died on the cross with Jesus.

9) That we will one day wise with Him. Totally free any kind of death.

10) It doesn't fit the profile. Jesus dies to save us from our sins, and God's grace did. We're new creatures, no longer bound as slaves. We should live as we now know how.

11)

A. Count ourselves dead to it, but alive to Christ.
B. Do not obey sinful desires.
C. Don't offer parts of my body to sin, but render them to God.

I dun't think I'm qualified to make that assessment. Personally, I do, and I don't. I seem to care deeply about some things, but not notice others. Plank-eye, that's me.

Crying out to God and turning my mind to Him. Keeping my mouth shut helps too.

I tend to try and resist sin by making out my own little set of laws out of God's word. Completely missing out the point, and turning me into a Pharisee.

I dunno. Makes me sadder at all the times I've boogered up because now I know that I'm no longer a slave to sin, that I had a choice and I bricked it.

[ccgr]

hmmmm any job.....I'm happy with staying home with the kids but if I could get paid to run sites like this or steady income doing computer or website work from home, that would be awesome

1. We shouldn't sin just because we're forgiven

2. v.16 sin, death > obedience, righteousness
v.19 impurity > righteousness

3. You're free from sin so obey God and be holy

4. slave of sin and slave of righteousness
freedom to follow your flesh, freedom to follow God
sin leads to death and obedience to righteousness

5. we are slaves to what we obey, our flesh or God

6. we deserve death for the sins we commit, we "earned" it

7. Luk 12:37 Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. (Be ready for the Lord)

Luk 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Choose God over the world)

Luke 17:10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’ (Obey God, be humble)

Luk 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. (Be fruitful with what the Lord give you)

Jhn 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. (Be prepared for tribulation)

Romans 14:4 Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. (Let God judge people)

Ephesians 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; (Listen to those over you)

I try to be obedient to God but he's a pretty laid back master...but He can get angry (and rightfully so!) Obedience is key, who you listen to is who you serve, God or yourself? I think of pornography and how many are slaves to that or drug addiction. Many of these can be overcome by surrendering to Christ

[Chozon1]

A Christian musician. Mercenaries are cool, but I really like tour buses.

1) That the "law" of grace means it's cool to sin.

2)

V.16 Slaves to sin leading to death/Slaves to obedience, leading to righteousness.
V.18 Freed from sin/Slave to righteousness
V.19 Offering the body to sin/Offering it to holyness.

3) Falling off a cliff will break your legs. Before Christ, we're the cliff standers and there is always a high wind. If someone came, and put a guardrail around that cliff, would I climb over and jump off? If I get freed from prison, will I so easily hold my hands up and ask for the chains to return?

4) Slaves of sin and slaves of righteousness.

Free from the control of righteousness/Free from sin.
Death/Eternal Life.

5) Even though God saved us from our sins, every time we "mess up" we choose to go back under the yoke of sin. If we choose not to mess up, we stay under God''s yoke.

6) Wages are what is earned, so if we stay in our sin, what we'll earn is death.

7) House slave, waiting for the master.

Managers/care takers.

We have a job to do, not an optional bonus mission. Shouldn't think that doing our jorbs makes us winner of acclaim.

We have a mission given to us by the Master to complete before the Master get's back.

We'll get persecuted for serving Jesus, who was also persecuted.

We shouldn't judge the other servants.

We should obey with sincerity, all the time, not just when other people are watching.

He owns us, and we serve Him, but He also loves us like family.

It seems to be extremely important. Not only in our own walk, but as a witness to others.

An issue I can think of is pornography. People submit themselves to lust and get addicted to it, making themselves a slave. The big issue is being a slave to Christ results in eternal life. But smaller issues include not getting addicted to alcohol, or drugs. I can't think of anything else, I guess. :\

[ccgr]

Other than my own wedding....hmmm I guess my dad or mom's re-marriage was pretty memorable. I'm glad to see them both happy again.

1. We died to the OT law and belong to Jesus now. His resurrection allows us to bear fruit for Him.

2. Jesus is the groom and we have been released from the OT law that bound us. Jesus has freed us and claimed us as His own

3. baptizing and killing our old nature

4. We are now bound to Christ and he is head of the household

5. We no longer allow sin to rule our lives

6. We're led by God's spirit and His laws (question 7 on the pdf, they skipped 6)

7. Sin ruled our lived leading us to death

8. No one is justified by the law alone

9.

We're dead to sin, no longer slaves to sin and we're married to and serve Christ

When I think of freedom I think of the USA and the statue of liberty. Many view Christianity as restrictive and boring. God only forbids things that are not healthy for us anyway. We're free in Christ I'm not walking around angry or harboring grudges or worrying about the future...God takes control of that stuff....I'm free

The world's view of freedom is to think and do as you please

I considered myself married to Christ, he's definitely the head of our household

Heh I always struggle with sin and pride, but I try to be thankful and spend time with my mate

[Chozon1]

I haven't been to many weddings, so I guess my best friends sisters. The food was surprisingly good, and the bride looked very happy.

1) We're dead to the law, it was caused by our death to sin in Jesus.

2) Like the wife free to marry another man, our death to sin released us to follow Jesus.

3) We died to sin through belief in Jesus, baptism shows that we were buried, then risen.

4) The law applied to us since we were living in sin from birth, but since we died to sin through Christ, we're freed to follow His law of love or "remarry" another.

5) Now we serve through the Holy Spirit, not written law.

6) Dere is no question 6. O_O

7) The old way required following what was written, and serving God in works. The way of the Spirit still requires those, but requires faith in Jesus more. Faith is what saves us now, not works.

Sinful passions were at work in us, and the fruit of them was death.

9) The law let's people know what sin is, and since we're hungry to do evil, we wish to do the opposite of the law. The law just teaches what sin is, but it cannot bring righteousness.

10)

A) We died to the law, and sin, by dying with Jesus. Following the law only brings death.

B) We are slaves to whom we obey, be it God or evil, righteousness or wickedness. We have been set free from the law of death and made slaves to the law of righteousness.

C) Since we died with Jesus, the law no longer applies to us, and we're free to marry another.

Freedom brings to mind open spaces and a feeling weight off my chest, of time that can be spent on whatever. I never really though about what Jesus set me free from. Not in those words. The worlds idea of freedom is the ability to do whatever I want. God's idea of freedom is freedom from sin and death. I struggle with not becoming a pharisee, in that I tend to just try and make it easy by writing a code of regulations for me. God is helping me with this, so no, I don't feel that I married a law book.

I still struggle with sin, and the law. I'm not sure why, because it's clear that Jesus set us free from it.

[ccgr]

I was pretty independent growing up...I don't recall how much I disobeyed to assert my Independence. I wouldn't doubt it happened occasionally.

My kids are pretty strong willed too.

1. Is the law sin? No Did that which is good, then, become death to me? No

2. Paul is stating that we're a salve to God's law and a slave to sin, these two don't mix

3. v10 brings death v12 law is Holy righteous and good v13 sin brings death v14 the law is spiritual

4. v7. though the law we acknowledge sin v8. apart from law, sin is dead v9. sin kills us v10. the law demands our death v11. sin deceives us v13. we recognize sin

5. sold under sin - redeemed by grace
nothing good in us - servants of righteousness
evil doer - serving the spirit
captive to sin - free from the law of sin and death
Serving the flesh - In the Spirit

6. I think he was talking about his life before Christ and ends by thanking him for redeeming him. Though even after we accept Christ, we still struggle

We're redeemed through Christ but we'll still be tacking sin every day of our lives. We're a lot better than before Christ came into our lives but there's always room for improvement.

I've tried making news years resolutions and have given up trying

[Chozon1]

I'm sure I did at some point, but I don't remember a specific incident. Usually, I was a complete pansy who did everything anyone said.

1) Q: Is the law evil?

A: Not at all. The law tells us what sin is so we know to avoid it.

Q2: Did the law bring death?

A2: Nope. The law tells us what will cause us death. Sin, proving itself to be such, gives us the desire to commit what the law condemns and brings our death.

2) To show that the law itself is good, but the sin within us causes our deaths by it, and that only Jesus can save us from the fate.

3) A: Bringer of life. B: Holy. C: Good. D: Spiritual.

4) We wouldn't know what sin is; we wouldn't want to sin; sin comes to life; it brings our death; deceives us to our death; it produces death in us by what is good.

5) Paul: Unspiritual, with nothing good in him, unable to do the good he wants, imprisoned, a slave to sin.

With Christ: Under Grace, free from sin, slaves to righteousness, serving in a new way under the spirit, free from the law of sin and death, and uncontrolled by the sinful nature, but by the Spirit.

6) Maybe both. As Christians, we're set free from sin and death, it has no ties on us. But we're still tempted by the flesh, and so wage a constant war. We're free in the spirit, but still caught into the body of death.

Dunno. We've still got to fight sin, even though it has nothing on us. We're still fallen, and in the words of Switchfoot "Already but not yet resurrected fallen man".

I've never been able to succeed.

[ccgr]

I remember my great-grandma pulling me aside as a child and telling me that she wanted to die. I tried to comfort her to no avail and then ran to tell my dad and he wasn't too happy with her scaring me like that. I don't even remember how old I was. But that's my first memory of death and mortality.

1. The law is able to overcome the sin in our. We have a sinful nature.

2. God sent Christ as a sin offering for us. Who now live through the spirit and not our sin nature.

3. Not condemned

4. concerned about flesh vs concerned about the spirit
carnal minded= death spirit minded = life & peace
flesh cannot please God, living through the spirit = eternal life
spirit of bondage vs spirit of adoption

5. In the flesh or in the spirit. God dwells in those who live in the spirit. God does not know those in the flesh.

6. Believers

7. We are responsible, by the power of the Holy Spirit

8. Believers who have the Holy Spirit in them.

9. Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelling

fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

I like Let Go and Let God. But I believe God helps those who help themselves too. God can do everything, but he shouldn't have to.

I think an heir of God is to be a follower of his, it's like were His children

Putting to death the deeds of the body is a continuous process

I find that distancing myself from things I am tempted from works the best to prevent sinning

[Chozon1]

I think the first time was when I overheard my parents talking about their will and estate and such when I was much younger...I heard that one day they weren't going to be there anymore, and it scared me pretty bad.

1) Salvation.

2) God did it, by sending His Son to die in our place. The result is that we now are free from the law to live in the Spirit.

3) No punishment, no judgment. Free to be who I am.

4) Living by nature: Desiring what nature desires, a mind of death, being unable to submit or please God, death itself.

Living by the spirit: A mind set on what the spirit desires, a mind of life and peace, life, adoption.

5) Unbelonging to Christ, versus belonging to Him.

6) Those who believe in Him.

7) Us, through the Spirit.

Guidance from sin to purity.

9) Sinful nature: Sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like.

Fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, self-control.

Let go and let God. I was about to say neither of them, because inaction is helpful anymore than taking rash action...then I realized that all my striving for an answer didn't help at all, staying still and asking God did. XD I think it's a continual process to put to death the deeds of the body. Adoption into God's family. Life, and love, and joy eternal. Only prayer...It ties in to what I said above, but when I fight against them myself, I fail, and fail hard. Only God helps me, and I'm just now starting to learn that.

Unit 15

I took part in 3 child births. A lot of pain but very rewarding

1. I would assume persecution
Eternal life with God
2. Believers in Christ, we'll be immortal
3. fields, sea, hills and trees rejoice
4. All creation living together peacefully
5. All of creation is waiting to be renewed
6. Sin entered the world, ruined everything
7. sin creatures redemption
sin humans redemption
infirmities spirit speaks on our behalf
8. The spirit can intercede on our behalf

Family,prayer, and my dog helps cheer me up. I really don't have trouble praying...focusing is another story I just have to catch myself and stay tuned into God. When I think I'm suffering I try to remember that other people have it a lot worse than me. Thins will always get better.
