Notes from December 4 and Questions for December 11

Hello Everyone!

I trust your Sunday was a great day of Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Today we finished our first of four parts summarizing Romans.  We talked about 'What is your problem?' and if it is one of three areas:  People, Purpose, or THE Problem (sin).  We talked about how Paul's encouragement and warning to the Jews and the Gentiles in these  first 3 and 1/2 chapters.  Please look over these three chapters and ask yourself this December:  Why did Christ  have to come?  What did Christ do that is explained here? and When will we see Him as Savior AND Lord?  Shouldn't now, more than ever, our Passion for His People and His Purpose be clear?

Next week we will talk about how the need for help is met with a summarization verses of 3:21-23 and move through Chapter 5.  Please read from Chapter 3:21 to the end of Chapter 5 to be ready for this summary class.

Please get ready by answering the following questions:

What is your argument or ones you have heard regarding why they are special and don't need Christ?

When, be very specific, did Romans 3:19 come over you?  When did your mouth shut because you fully realized you were without any excuse nor any saving on your own?

Compare and contrast these three verses regarding justification:

Romans 3:24
Romans 3:28
Romans 5:9

Review the following verses - what are their main themes?

Ephesians 2:8-10
Titus 3:8
Galatians 5:6
Phil 2:11-12
Romans 4:3 (incl Gen 15:6)

Summarize the following for yourself (what does this mean in your words and how do you live it out) and be ready to share in class:

Romans 5:1-5
