Romans 14 Summary
Summary

Romans 14 begins by cautioning believers about the dangers of criticizing others. Paul explains that it is not right to condemn others just because they do not have the same convictions as you. This is really important to me because, short of sinning, I believe there should be nothing that stops us from bringing others to Christ. This of course includes being willing to put aside differences for the sake of Christ. Continuing on with the thought of living for Christ, Paul talks about living to please others, just as Christ did. This thought reiterates to me the fact that our main focus in life should not be on ourselves, but rather on God and others.

Moving on from this course of thought Paul explains why he was writing to the believers.

    When one views the life of the Apostle Paul in the New Testament it is evident that he had a heart to disciple others. The evidence at hand identified Paul as more than an individual who had doctrinal knowledge, for he was the quintessential model for living out the standards of Christian behavior. In his letter to the Church of Philippi Paul encourage them to “Whatever…

    Informative Speech On Romans 12: 4-11

    How quickly we are to confuse our identity with our roles and obligations. In other words, regardless to the fact that you're someone's mother, daughter, wife, coworker, business partner, or friend, buried under all the titles and hats that women so masterfully wear, there's a unique and distinctive person, full of creativity and possibilities, whom, the Potter, our LORD, has wonderfully created (Psalm 139:14). Additionally, as exciting as it is to be any of the above titles, there's still so much more to you. Consequently, I'm reminded of the fact that Romans 12:6 declares that: God has given gifts that differ according to the grace that has been given, and 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 declares that: We've been given gifts of the Spirit, furthermore,…

    Bibl 104 Romans 1-8 Analysis

    Romans 1-8 gives us a foundation for a Biblical Worldview. It gives us a foundation for the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture. Paul addresses these subjects while speaking on the wrath of God by warning us of what will happen if we turn away from the Lord. However, he also addresses how we can attain peace with the blood of Jesus. Biblical worldviews differ from those of the secular world. A Biblical Worldview which based on God’s truth and the Holy Bible which directs our life in the world. Therefore we have evidence of the truth by what is written in the scriptures. They are both very important…

    Romans Epistle Analysis

    In the epistle of Romans Paul is introducing himself to the Romans and explains the message he plans on teaching before he arrives in Rome. The epistle was sent from Corinth before Paul had sailed of for Troas during Paul’s second missionary journey. Paul had friends in Rome, whom he had planned to visit on several occasions, but had always been prevented from doing so. He had several reasons for being interested in the Roman church: his desire to see the imperial city, their need for instruction, his desires to stop any Judaizing activity, and his hope for possible support for mission to Spain. The central theme of Romans is the revelation of the righteousness of God to man, and its application to mans spiritual needs (Tenney 1985, 304–305).…

    Often times, new believers are encouraged to read through the book of Romans. This is because Paul is able to break down essential aspects of the Christian life in a way that is both probing and encouraging. It covers aspects of the natural world, human identity, relationships, and culture. As with every word of the Bible, this book transcends time and culture and speaks as much in todays’ time as it did to the Roman church to who Romans was originally written. As believers in Christ, it is important to live these truths so that He may use our lives for His glory and honor.…

    Second Timothy Analysis

    64 and A.D. 67, likely occurring after the events of Acts. Paul writes this letter while enduring his second Roman imprisonment, realizing that his death was imminent. Paul, as a spiritual father to Timothy, writes to his son in the faith one final time to warn against false teaching and to provide instruction to the church at Ephesus through Timothy’s conduct and church life. Even though false teaching is addressed, Second Timothy differs slightly from the other two pastoral epistles in that this letter is written on a much more personal level than the others. Timothy, the intended recipient of Paul’s letter, served as one of Paul’s inner circle and accompanied him on his second and third missionary journeys. In Paul’s first letter to Timothy, he provides encouragement in his role as minister and addresses his responsibilities for that office. He also warns against false teachings and exhorts Christians concerning their conduct. The encouragement provided to Timothy in the second letter implores him to suffer alongside the apostle (2 Tim. 1:8), hold firm and guard the faith, faithfully pass the Gospel message along, handle the Word correctly and to allow it to guide his teaching and life. Included in the closing chapter of Second Timothy, Paul also makes requests concerning travel and personal effects. As a final letter to a friend and co-laborer in ministry, Paul seeks to inspire steadfastness in…

    Galatian Dialectical Journal

    Step One: Paul is the writer of the book of Galatians. (Gal. 1:1) Paul refers to the audience as those in Galatia. (Gal 1:2) “Galicia was the region of central Asia Minor habituated by Celtic people.”1 “The theme of Galatians, like that of Romans is justification by faith.” 2 Paul wrote the letter because of false teachers who were undermining the NT doctrine of grace. The paragraph before, “Paul warns them that the best attitude against false teachers is not to strive with one another.” 3 The main paragraph (v.15-18) Paul tells them to be led by the Spirit. He concludes, “With a caution against pride and envy.”4(v.19-24) Galatians 5:16-18 still applies to us today. Every since creation, it has been a constant battle for mankind, to live under the law or to be led by the spirit.…

    Romans Worldview

    However, before he even begins he gives thanks to God for them. Paul shows his humility, a human trait, as he begins his letter and assures them he is praying for them without ceasing. Paul longed to go be with them and to encourage by means of their spiritual gifts, from our Spiritual Father. Even though we, being sinners, no matter you background, are also unrighteous, unholy, we are identified as justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and can rejoice in that fact. Paul states,” For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man. So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.” (Romans 7:1-4…

    In Paul’s epistle to the Romans he gives us the foundation of Christian life in regards to how we should not only see the world, but also how we should act in a world that rejects the gospel of Christ. In Romans 1-8 Paul teaches us how we are not able to come to a saving grace through our works, but that it must come from Christ alone, and not only to the Jews, but to the Gentiles also. Paul tells us however, that this will not be easy, but we that we need to remember who is ultimately in control of everything around us.…

    Mark 14 Jesus 1-2 Analysis

    Mark’s Jesus has an apocalyptic view of reality, meaning that the current age is under the power of Satan and his forces. In this Gospel of Mark, the forces is referring to the Romans in power, the political, social, and religious elites. In the coming of age, however, will be under God’s power and God’s rule, with the lowly being raised above the high. This point of view completely stands against the gospel of prosperity who say that one of rich and successful because God wanted it that way. In Mark 10:14, Jesus says, “the kingdom of God belongs to such as these [children]”. Children are seen as the lowest and the least and therefore will be accepted into God’s rule. Also in Mark 10:37, James and John ask for power, status and glory; Jesus’ response exemplifies the notion of being lowest and least further. He tells them…
