For centuries, God made Himself known to Israel and the Jews. He was not silent and use a variety of means to reveal Himself to His elect. However, due to their hardness of heart, rebellion, and deaf ears, God raised up a new people to fulfill His purposes throughout the earth. Today, God is using His bride, the church to fulfill His purposes and to reveal the "good news" to all the nations of the earth.

The law was never meant to bring about righteousness, but despair. Paul’s message is simple. Our righteousness is based on faith in Christ, not on the law. All we have to do is accept what Christ has done on our behalf. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

God's purpose for Israel was to be blessed by him so that they would be a blessing to the world. Through their rejection of Him and His Son, God has chosen the Gentiles to now be blessed and carry on his original purpose for the nation of Israel.

In this message, Paul makes clear to the Church of Rome that no one is grafted into the Kingdom of God simply by family or national privilege, including the Jews.

Paul reminds Christ followers of the incredible benefit of knowing Christ and the assurance of God's promises kept in Christ. Not only is God for us, but we also discover that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

The Spirit is our helper and guide. When we are weak, struggle to know how to pray, and have difficulty seeing how God is working around us, we can take great comfort in the fact that the Spirit of God intercedes for us in ways we can't comprehend and is working on our behalf.

There are many things that do not seem to mix in life. For instance, oil & water or toothpaste and orange juice just don't go together. In this message, Paul makes it clear to the church in Rome that life in the flesh is contrary to life in the Spirit. One leads to death and one leads to life and peace. One leads to opposition with God, while the other leads to fellowship with God. Take a few moments and learn what it means to live life in the Spirit.

There is a thought that people often have along the lines of “if I knew then what I know now, what would I have done different?” The better question is, “what am I going to do now with what I now know?” Paul introduces a truth to the Romans that has never before been given. Regardless of our wretchedness there is a truth in Christ Jesus that should propel us forward to what now exists for us rather than looking backward to what we cannot change.

For years, people heard of, and longed for the awaiting King and Messiah. When He arrived, He brought hope to Jews and Gentiles alike.

In this message Paul teaches that the Law is holy, good, and that it reveals our sin problem. We also see the dilemma of our flesh (sin nature) and our inability to escape the flesh without Jesus Christ. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

We have seen how the law reveals our sin, arouses our sin, and is used by our sin, but do we recognize the seriousness of our sin? If we are not spending time in God’s Word, we will never begin to understand our need for grace. Lord, help us to accept your grace and not abuse it. Help us to trust in you and not return to the sin that you have saved us from. Archie Engledow | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com
