Lesson 8 - Basic Training / Boot Camp
Primary Texts: Romans 6
November 8, 2015
The more we sin the greater God’s Grace?
The more good works we do the greater our Justification?
What does Baptism represent?
According to Paul what can we do to ensure our Salvation?
A sacrament properly speaking is that which is ordained to signify our sanctification. In which three things may be considered; viz., the very cause of our sanctification, which is Christ’s passion; the form of our sanctification, which is grace and the virtues; and the ultimate end of our sanctification, which is eternal life. And all these are signified by the sacraments. Consequently a sacrament is a sign that is both a reminder of the past, i.e., the passion of Christ; and an indication of that which is effected in us by Christ’s passion, i.e., grace; and a prognostic, that is, a foretelling of future glory.
In verses 5-6-7 Paul refers to us being Christ-like some how. He speaks about us being dead like Christ, buried like Christ, and resurrected like Christ. How is that possible?
Do Faith and Obedience Have anything to do with what Paul is teaching in the first 11 verses?
Better translation and stuff; Don’t let sin CONTINUE to REIGN in your mortal bodies.
It indicates that it is something that is going on and it needs to stop.
Paul uses the word reign. When you see the word “reign” what thoughts does that stimulate in your brain?
We often times speak of a bodily transformation in the event we call “glorification”. Does Paul indicated that the transformation of our bodies is to wait for that event or should the transformation be beginning now?
If grace abounds in sin isn’t it a logical conclusion to believe that i get more grace the more I sin, and I want more grace, therefore sinning is a good thing.
Be wary of syllogistic reasoning; this is an example of such! logical yes, accurate and correct, NO!
Why does Paul make a difference between “Me” and my “members”?
Slaves of sin or slaves of righteousness is how it is presented. Why is there no third option?
Is our sin static or is it dynamic?
What role does shame play in this scenario?
Is holiness optional for a Christ-follower?
What is the difference between a gift and a wage? Which do you prefer?
What Paul doesn’t give a list of do’s and don’ts. just says “Present yourselves” and Present your members” . Why does he say that?
