The Christian And Government “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Romans 12:3-8 Every Believer Gifted
Every Believer Gifted Romans 12:3-8 God has placed each believer I the church to serve Him and other believers. He has not done so, and left us without desires and gifts which enable us to serve. These gifts are not given for any to boast superiority over another, as has so often been the case …

Romans 11:25-36 Take Away Their Sins
Take Away Their Sins Romans 11:25-36 In the last study vv. 15-24 we saw a warning from Paul to what could be called the apostate church. The apostate church would be those who deny the truths of the Word of God; who believe they are Israel, claiming for themselves things which are not theirs; who …
Romans 11:15-24 Broken Branches – Grafted In
Broken Branches – Grafted In Romans 11:15-24 Paul begins using the allegory of an olive tree. The breaking off of some of the branches represents reprobate national Israel. Note verse 20; they were broken off, because of their unbelief and the Church –Gentile believers–were grafted in. Unnaturally grafted in– “A wild olive tree” (v. 17) …

Romans 11:7-14 Provoked to Jealousy
Provoked To Jealousy Romans 11:7-14 Many Israeli people who live in the land, most of them calling themselves Jewish, have no convictions concerning God, or promises of the land. More of those who profess to be orthodox Jews are growing toward that. National Israel is in a state of unbelief. They adhere to the old …
Romans 11:1-6 Set Aside, But Not Forgotten
Set Aside; But Not Forgotten Romans 11:1-6 Paul has now pointed out clearly Israel’s rejection of Jesus as Messiah. Israel is a very religious people, but lost as a nation. Is this not enough evidence to prove to us that the rejection of Jesus is also rejecting God and His righteousness. It should be enough. …
Romans 10:9-21 Salvation, Preaching, and Unbelief
Salvation, Preaching, and Unbelief Romans 10:9-21 The leaders of Israel had been so blinded by their religion that they missed the very one for whom their Scriptures had foretold.

Romans 10:1-8 God’s Righteousness
God’s Righteousness Romans 10:1-8 Paul is still in his parenthetical statement, and now addresses the unbelief of the nation of Israel. Many of these things in reference to Israel are a means of warning, and also encouragement for Christians of all ages. In chapter nine we see that this statement exposes the nations rejection of …
Romans 9:25-33 No People Left Out
No People Left Out Romans 9:25-33 There may have been accusations against Paul’s teaching, claiming that He was preaching an unjust and unrighteous God. That is not what Paul preached, nor is it the teaching of Scripture. Because God is holy, righteous, and just He has every right to be “Merciful to whom He will …
Romans 9:14-24 God’s Will of Mercy
God’s Will Of Mercy Romans 9:14-24 Is God unrighteous because He chooses some and not others? NO! NO! NO! NEVER! He is God. He is the Creator of all things. He is not limited in any way. If He cannot choose whom He will, then, He is not sovereign and is not God. God told …
Romans 9:6-13 The Word of Promise
The Word Of Promise Romans 9:6-13 Remembering that we are looking at a parenthetical statement, which gives a clearer understanding of what Paul is writing about in chapter 8 and assuring the Roman Christians that the promises of God are good, and that He will not break or void any of them; we come to …
Romans 9:1-5 A Great Heaviness
A Great Heaviness Romans 9:1-5 In chapters 9 – 11 Paul adds a parenthetical statement concerning the Nation of Israel – the chosen Nation of God.

Romans 8:31-39 Since God Is For Us
Since God Is For Us Romans 8:31-39 When you get to thinking about the goodness, grace and mercy of God, and you see things taught us in Scripture as, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (5:8); and, “For if when we were …
