Text: Romans 10:1-21. “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved,” verse 9 [NKJV]. To confess the Lord Jesus Christ is not a mere acknowledgement that He is the Son of God and Lord of the universe, because even[…]
Text: Romans 9:1-32. “Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and who He wills He hardens,” verse 18 [NKJV]. By God ‘hardening’ some one’s heart like He did to Pharaoh does not mean that God actively created some evil in Pharaoh’s heart, rather it means that God withdrew all divine influences that would ordinarily act as restraint to[…]
Text: Romans 8:1-39. “Yet in all these things…”verse 37 [NKJV]. Which things? These are: tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, the devil or the sword [verse 35]. “…we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” verse 37 [NKJV]. Look at the things that give you stress: Marriage and family matters, job, politics, neighbours, poor health, finances etc. The Bible[…]
Text: Romans 7:1-25. “For I know that in me [that is, in my flesh] nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find” verse 18 [NKJV]. For the Christian, the flesh acts as a launching pad from which sin operates due to its nature. At present[…]
It is the desire of God for the family to blossom. The call to repentance therefore comes in a context of God grooming marriages and the family to walk in God’s ways. The Bible commands repentance. It is turning towards God by turning away from your ways. In (Ezek.14:6) the Prophet calls people to turn from their idols and[…]

Text: Romans 6:1-23. “…He died to sin once for all…”, verse 10 [NKJV]. Jesus Christ died to sin in two ways: 1. To pay sin’s penalty. A sinner bears legal requirement for punishment and Jesus Christ’s death paid for His own people – those destined to be saved. 2. Also to break the power of sin forever for[…]
Text: Romans 5:1-21. “… just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned,” verse 12 [NKJV]. Note that, here sin does not mean a particular sin but the desire to commit sin engulfed the human race whereby man became a sinner by nature. When Adam disobeyed[…]
Text: Romans 4: 1-25. It is impossible to be righteous by keeping the law. If that were so, then faith would have no value [v.14]. Instead law brings about wrath because it exposes man’s sinfulness. It is important for you to know that even Abraham was justified by faith and counted righteous before the law of circumcision v. 10. Thus[…]
