BSF Romans Lesson 8 Day 4
Study of Romans 5:6-9
8. This is what we were like:
- Powerless, weak
- Ungodly
- Sinners
God knows and loves us, anyway.
“Notice the terms that Paul used to describe us before the transformation of the new birth. We were weak, ungodly sinners (Romans 5:8), and enemies (Romans 5:10). The Lord didn’t save us because we deserved it; it was an act of grace.” (Andrew Wommack)
9a. The reasons for God’s love are found in Him, not in us. (Guzik)
how do these words help clarify the role people play in their salvation? See also Ephesians 2:1-9
Jesus is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. No one can get to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6 paraphrased)
No other path recognizes our utter inability to do it ourselves and provides the way.
No other “god”, guru, or philosopher loves us unconditionally. No other “god” sacrificed his son for us.
9b. Saved by grace
At the age of 5, I was already aware of my selfish, rebellious tendencies. I’m grateful I heard the good news that Jesus loves us so much He died for us.
My old nature made me radioactive with sin. Jesus’ blood provided the decontamination shower, cleansing and justifying me inside and out. I think it is possible He changes our DNA.
