Romans 6

Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

Sometimes we taught that God forgive what we do is necessary to do that, therefore we can always get forgiveness from God as we commit ourselves to something that God’s dislike we do it. Paul said that: we can’t do like this. This means that we not understand the seriousness of a sin. God sent his son, Jesus die for our sin just show that how serious that cause by sin that can make us far from God and 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[b] Christ Jesus our Lord. So as what we know “For the wages of sin is death” Without Jesus Christ we are death with our sin.

We are in relationship with God when we choose to die with Jesus Christ and reborn with him and we can get eternity life with him. All sin and bad habit will be death with Christ at the cross. By faith we can live with Christ and reborn and make a stronger relationship with God and not under control by sin.

If we reborn in Christ, who’s believe in Jesus will not afraid of death anymore. We are in relationship with God and our life, include working, worship, resting, caring of others will be influence.

17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. “Obey God with all our heart and our soul.” That’s what we need to do to as a return to a gift from God.

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[b] Christ Jesus our Lord. Everlasting life is a gift from God. That’s a gift so we can’t earn it with our good action or anything else. If I accept a gift from the others, but I need to pay for that, that won’t be a gift anymore. Gift is not paid by anything. If someone present you a gift, what the best respond is accept it with a grateful heart.

Thanks God had given to be the best gift I ever had and now I’m death with Christ and born again with Christ and I’m brand new in Jesus name.

Romans 4

20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

What I learn from Abraham is he never distrust God that ever promises God had give him. He have done many mistake in his life too, but he still trust in God. By faith in God he obey and God bless him and his family.

Romans 5

3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

We accepted Christ and we are in Christ and we have to grow in Christ like. Enjoy the relationship with God, but also need to face all the difficulties in life. But yet, we can go through all the difficulties with the strength from God that given to us and his Holy spirit will guide us through. As perseverance ,characters; and character, hope. Satan do all things to attack us to build our character and strengthen our will so that we more closer to God and trust him and have hope in him. We maybe been tested everyday, but that's will be our growing experience, Thanks God and with his strength we go through all difficulties.

Romans 5:20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

As God grace is sufficient for us, what we have done show that we are in sin, but God gave his only son die on the cross for u and me and redeem us from sin and shame and we can back to close relationship with God again. Sins, but grace much more. That's amazing. Thanks God for what he has done for us. I love You.

Romans 3
No one is Righteous...
Paul said that we are in sin that make us far from God. What we think??? Am I sinless?? Am I lie to others before? Am I hurt the others when we get angry? Actually we are just the same with the unbeliever, we have sinful thinking, In God, we are sinful. We have to admit our weaknesses so that Jesus die on the cross, his precious blood washed out our sin.
What is faith?? Why we just saved by faith not the action?
1. Faith can take away our ego, because faith is not an action.
2. All glory to God by faith that not by action.
3. Faith make us realize that we can obey law to reach the aim of God, we need helps by the holy spirit.
4. Faith is a relationship with God and not what we present for.

Today I started on Roman chapter 1 & 2
Just like Paul cares and love the Romans people, if we want to influence others life, at first we need to love them, trust them and pray for them. Paul desperate to teach them just because he love them. I must thanks God on behalf of my bro. and sister and let them know I care them.
Beside I also learn from Paul that I need visit the others, and use what God had given to me as spiritual gift to serve them, encourage them, and sometime we can be encourage by the faith of the others. As believers, we need to work together and encourage each other to work for God, as we have same mission and language and we serve a same God.
In Romans 1:14-15
I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. 15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
So I'm the same,I am obligated to my friends and families. I must eager to preach the gospel to my friends and families. That's my role as a believer because Jesus die on the cross for us too. What we can do to thank our mighty God is to show his LOVE to the others as what he gave us.

Romans 2 is about God righteous and judgment
1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?
4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
If we want to judge people we need to be careful what is our purpose of judgment? because we love them or we want to gossip? we need to humble ourselves before we judge. Usually when we judge people we can clearly see all the bad thing of the others, but back to us, we maybe will have same mistake on us too. What's is going on??? That's GOSSIP.... God... please get me away from all the GOSSIP... break me up from Gossiping...fill me with your holy spirit let your words fill me and change me to what you want me to be. Thanks God.
Romans 2:29
Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.
God want us to praise him with all our heart and soul. God please lead me so that my heart and my soul can worship You always.
Thanks God I will worship you always and use all you had gaven to me to serve you and love the others .Praise Lord.
