Paul’s letter to the Christians in Rome is addressed to …
“the called of Jesus Christ … beloved of God, called to be saints” (Romans 1:6-7)
He says to them,
“we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith” (Romans 1:5)
“The Romans Road” is famous for laying out the Plan of Salvation for Christians.
However, for Christians who are NOT obedient to the faith …
“The Romans Road” lays out the Plan of Damnation for Christians!
Paul gives MANY WARNINGS to the Christians in Rome …
Romans 1:
• The righteousness of God is revealed: “The just shall live by faith”
• The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness
• Knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things
(a long list of sins) are deserving of death
Romans 2:
• You who judge those practicing such things (a long list of sins),
and doing the same, (do you think) that you will escape the judgment of God?
• To those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness
— indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil,
for there is no partiality with God.
Romans 6:
• Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not!
• We should no longer be slaves of sin
• Reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin
• Do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts
• Do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin
• Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!
• You are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or …
• Present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness
• The end of those things (practicing sin) is death
• For the wages of sin is death
Romans 8:
• No condemnation to those who walk according to the Spirit
• The righteous requirement of the law is fulfilled by walking according to the Spirit
• To be carnally minded is death
• The carnal mind is enmity against God
• Those who are in the flesh cannot please God
• If you live according to the flesh you will die
• If by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live
• For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God
• We are children of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him
Romans 11:
• Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches (the Jews),
He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God:
on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness.
Otherwise you also will be cut off.
