For years, people heard of, and longed for the awaiting King and Messiah. When He arrived, He brought hope to Jews and Gentiles alike.

In this message Paul teaches that the Law is holy, good, and that it reveals our sin problem. We also see the dilemma of our flesh (sin nature) and our inability to escape the flesh without Jesus Christ. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

We have seen how the law reveals our sin, arouses our sin, and is used by our sin, but do we recognize the seriousness of our sin? If we are not spending time in God’s Word, we will never begin to understand our need for grace. Lord, help us to accept your grace and not abuse it. Help us to trust in you and not return to the sin that you have saved us from. Archie Engledow | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

Justified by faith, dead to sin, and alive to God. The believer has also died to the law and has been released from the law. The Apostle Paul teaches us why, and what becomes of the believer’s relationship then to the law. Cody King | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

In the first Adam, his temptation in the garden led to the world being corrupted by sin and death reigned.

We do not find life in God through our good works, outward circumcision, or by keeping the law. We find life in God Himself; the one who keeps His promises and is faithful to accomplish His purposes.

We all at one point or another can tend to see others more clearly than we see ourselves. We can perceive their faults without acknowledging our own. In doing this it becomes easy to pass judgment upon one another while excusing ourselves. The Apostle Paul tells us otherwise by pointing out how we are all, one way or another, going to come under the same judgment. This being the case, we should not be casting judgment upon one another.

In this message, Paul challenges the cultural precedent in Rome that was spreading among Jews in the area.

Paul makes it clear that this thought process was irrational and off base. Brandon Bachtel | Romans Visit our website! http://stonepointchurch.com

The Jewish people believed they were set apart by God because of their pedigree, position, and the precepts of God's law.
