Romans Seen from the Perspective of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit (I)

Abraham’s Faith, the Forefather of Faith Today, we will look at the Word of Romans 4:18 to 24 together. Abraham, at the age of 75, left Ur of the Chaldeans, that is, his hometown, relatives, and father’s house, and set out on a journey following the guidance of God. One day, God appeared to him and told him to look at the stars in the sky, and promised that He would make his descendants as numerou...

[Question] 1. How does the Bible say Abraham obtained justification? The question of how Abraham obtained justification is also the answer to how we receive justification today. Verses 1–3 of the text clearly reveal that way in one sentence. The answer is not the deeds of the law, but the faith that believes the word of God, and more accurately, the faith that accepts exactly what God has done for...

Romans chapter 5 is a section that shows the abundant spiritual blessings given to those who have been saved from sin by believing in the gospel word of the water and the Spirit, which Apostle Paul has unpacked from chapter 1 to chapter 4. From verse 1 to verse 11, it summarizes and shows the blessings that the righteous enjoy, namely peace with God, standing in grace, rejoicing in tribulations, G...

Everyone, in Romans chapter 4, the Apostle Paul, while speaking of Abraham’s faith, delivered that Abraham was acknowledged as justified by holding onto the Word of God and by faith.

If we had not held onto the Word of God and had not believed, we would have ended up becoming people no different from t...

Beloved saints, Romans chapter 5 begins with the single word, “Therefore.” This single word is not such a light word. The Apostle Paul has disclosed in detail the fact that all people are under sin from Romans chapter 1. He clearly revealed that whether Jew or Greek, whether a person who has the law or a person who does not have it, all are sinners without a single exception. And going to Romans c...

Romans 5:12 — The Origin of Sin The word of Romans 5:12 contains a very simple yet deep meaning. “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12).Sin entered this world through one person. It is precisely because Adam and Eve were created by God but disobeyed God’s command that sin came to enter th...

Beloved saints, Romans 5:12 begins a new paragraph with one word, “Therefore.” The Apostle Paul unpacked step by step the blessings enjoyed by a person who has been justified from verse 1 to 11. And then, to show on what foundation all those blessings are built, he begins to compare by placing the one man Adam and the one Jesus Christ side by side. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ https://youtube.com/@T...

[Question] 1. Romans 5:1-2 declares, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” What do the three blessings enjoyed by those justified by faith—namely, peace, introduction into grace, and exulting in hope of God’s glory—mean r...
