Romans 1:26-32 — The acceptance and advocacy of homosexuality is the sure sign of spiritual reprobation; that is, that God has given up on a society and given it over to its own depravity.

Romans 2:19-22 — Many self-proclaimed preachers fail to practice what they preach. They prosecute others for the things they perpetrate themselves. Far from being innocent of their own indictments, they are guilty of the very things they accuse others of being guilty of.

Romans 3:19-26 — God’s law said don’t, but we did; it said do, but we didn’t. It proved us to be inexcusable sinners guilty of undeniable sin. It wasn’t given to make us right with God by trying to live up to His standard, but to get us to trust the Son of God for our salvation.

Romans 3:21-22 — Our only hope of righteousness is to trust Christ to give it to us, not to try to gain it for ourselves. We were prepared to trust Christ for our righteousness by God's law, as well as promised to be made right with God through faith in Christ by God's prophets.

Although God's law proved man could not save himself, God's prophets promised man a Savior, would do for him what he could never do for himself.

Romans 3:21-26 — Only the wisdom of divine omniscience could devise a plan of salvation that would solve the insoluble problem of justifying and purifying unjust and imperfect men without compromising in anyway the perfect justice of a just and perfect God. (Job 25:4)

Thanks to the blood of Jesus, no sin is swept under the rug of divine justice by a just God's justification of a believing and unjust sinner.

Romans 4:3 — “What saith the Scripture?” Herein lies the acid test of truth! If the Scripture confirms it, it is so, but if Scripture contradicts it, it is not. (Galatians 4:30)

Where the Scripture is silent, we may be silent, but where the Scripture speaks, we must not only speak, but submit.

Romans 4:24-25 — The Son of God was resurrected by God the Father to prove the Father’s satisfaction with the Son’s atoning work for the sins of fallen humanity. Consequently, all who trust the resurrected Christ for their salvation from sin can be assured of their justification with God.

To be justified with God is for you to be seen by Him just as though you’ve never sinned against Him.

Romans 5:8 — The cross of Calvary is the loudest "I love you" ever heard in the history of the world, for on it, He who is altogether lovely, gave Himself for the unlovely.

Romans 5:10 — We are not reconciled to God by Christ’s death so that we can give evidence of our salvation by living our redeemed lives for Christ, but so that we can experience the essence of our salvation, which is Christ living His resurrected life in and through us.

Christ’s righteous life made it possible for Him to die for us. His resurrected life makes it possible for Him to live in us. It is not all for whom He died who are saved to live forever, but only those within whom He forever lives!

Romans 6:1-11 — Baptism is an illustration of the miracle of regeneration. As Christ died for our sin and was interred, we die with Christ to our sin and are immersed. As Christ rose from the tomb, we rise with Him from the water, to live forever like Him to the glory of God! 

Romans 6:1-13 — It is not our old man, who was enslaved to sin, but our new man, who has been crucified with Christ—died to sin—and resurrected with Christ—made alive to God—who is to be presented to God for His use. Otherwise, we would be both unacceptable and unuseful to God.

Romans 6:6-7 — When the sinless Jesus died on the cross for our sins, our old sinful man was crucified with Him, so that we, being dead to sin, could be freed from sin’s servitude.

When the sinless Jesus died on the cross for our sins, our old sinful man was crucified with Him, so that we, being dead to sin, could be freed from sin's servitude.

Romans 6:6-7 — While all Christians know that Christ died for us so that we can have forgiveness of sin, too few know that we also died with Christ so that we can have freedom from sin.

Romans 6:6-11 — All we once were, died with Christ and became dead to sin, so that all we can now be, could rise with Christ and come alive to God. Christ didn’t just die and rise from the dead for us, but we died with Christ and rose from the dead with Him!

Romans 6:11 — Christians are to resist the devil and reckon themselves dead to sin, not resist sin and reckon the devil dead to them. Doing the latter rather than the former not only gives sin an upper hand over you, but also gives Satan a free hand with you. (James 4:7)

Romans 6:16 — Your true sovereign is whoever or whatever you are subservient to. Many who confess Jesus Christ as Lord deny their Christian confession by living under the worship and control of someone or something else.

Romans 6:16 — When sin is resigned to rather than resisted and repented of, when sin is condoned rather than condemned, we become sin’s subjects, sin becomes our sovereign, and our society becomes both steeped in and enslaved to sin.

Romans 6:19 — Just as lawlessness (iniquity) leads to increased lawlessness, lawfulness (righteousness) leads to increased lawfulness.

Romans 6:19 — The Christian’s mind is no longer his to think sinful thoughts with, his mouth is no longer his to speak sinful words with, his hands are no longer his to do sinful deeds with, and his feet are no longer his to go to sinful places with.

Romans 12:3 — We are plagued by prideful self-exaltation whenever we consider ourselves beyond the measure of what God’s grace has made us or whenever we grow discontent with where God has graciously positioned us. 

Romans 15:3 — Those who please themselves and do not suffer the reproach of Christ, cannot possibly be followers of the reproached Christ, who “pleased not Himself.”

All who live to please the Lord rather than themselves will be reproached in this life by a self-pleasing world.
