Romans 5 & 6
For those of you who are still continuing with Romans:) I've been reading it everyday, but kinda lazy to upload. Apologies!Romans 5 Paul proves that we are justified through faith in Cha 4. And hence, ebing justified through faith through Jesus, we have peace with God. It's like Jesus opened a door for us to stand before God, or like how the veil covering the Holy of Holies was being torn. So, What does Paul call us to have joy in? Essentially, I think Paul is just making his point clear.. why there's sin, why there's death and how we can get life. Ponder... What does it mean "but sin is not taken into account when there is no law?" Romans 6 What does it mean to be baptized? Sin makes us powerless. I think we often feel condemned when we keep sinning because we are not in the position to stop it. We are 'slaves to sin' like what Paul says in v6. POnder... What does it mean then, to die with Christ? Shall we continue sinning so that grace might increase or because of grace? We shouldn't, but why not? |
