Chapter 5, Verses 1-5

Now There’s Something To Brag About!

[7-1-18]

Review: “You Were Always On His Mind!”

Romans 4:17-25) [NIV] As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed-the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.

QUESTION: What can our God do?

ANSWER: He can resurrect the dead, and He can speak something into existence that wasn’t there.

18) Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”

19) Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead-since he was about a hundred years old–and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.

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

21) being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

QUESTION: What are the two reasons that Abraham should have quit believing?

He was almost 100 years old, and thought “his body was as good as dead.”
Sarah’s womb was dead.

NOTE: Sarah had always been barren, but now she was past the age to have children.

NOTE: God strengthened Abraham’s faith causing him to be “fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.”

22) This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”

NOTE: Abraham believed against common sense; so God “credited” his faith “to him as righteousness.”

*23) The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone,

24) but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness–for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

NOTE: Way back when the Holy Spirit was giving the Genesis account to Moses by Divine inspiration, and He had Moses record those words, “he credited it to him as righteousness,” HE HAD YOU IN MIND! He had all believers in mind, all of us who have put our faith in the One Who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead.

NOTE: This verse is telling us that when we trust Jesus to be our Savior God accepts us as right with Him.

25) He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

NOTE: Jesus faced the wrath of God for our sins, and when He stepped out of that tomb it was settled; ALL WHO TRUST GOD WILL BE DECLARED RIGHT WITH HIM!

This Week’s Lesson: “Now There’s Something To Brag About!”

Romans 5:1-5) [NIV] Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

(GW) Now that we have God’s approval by faith, we have peace with God because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done.

(ERV) We have been made right with God because of our faith. So we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

QUESTION: What’s the result of our having our faith credited to our account as righteousness?

ANSWER: God has nothing against us! We can now live in peace with a Holy God. This is all a result of what Jesus accomplished for us, and on our behalf.

2) through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

(GNB) He has brought us by faith into this experience of God’s grace, in which we now live. And so we boast of the hope we have of sharing God’s glory!

(ERV) Through our faith, Christ has brought us into that blessing of God’s grace that we now enjoy. And we are very happy because of the hope we have of sharing God’s glory.

QUESTION: What else has our faith in Christ provided us with?

ANSWER: We now have a new home! We have pitched our tent in the land of God’s grace. Grace is our abode!

QUESTION: What’s the result of our newfound confidence in Christ?

ANSWER: We boast, not in a bad sense, about the glory of God that we are going to share in.

NOTE: This isn’t an arrogant boasting. We’re not going around saying, “I’m going to Heaven and you’re not!” Rather, we’re saying, “God has given us the wonderful promise of Heaven! Come and meet Him, so you can share in this promise.”

“Standing in grace means that: • I don’t have to prove I am worthy of God’s love; • God is my friend; • The door of access is permanently open to Him; • I am free from the “score sheet” – the account is settled in Jesus; • I spend more time praising God and less time hating myself” [Guzik].

3) Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

(GNB) We also boast of our troubles, because we know that trouble produces endurance,

“perseverance/endurance,” – “Hupomonḗ is associated with hope (1Th 1:3) and refers to that quality of character which does not allow one to surrender to circumstances or succumb under trial” [Word Study].

QUESTION: What, besides “glory,” do we boast about?

ANSWER: We boast about the troubles/trials/sufferings we face.

QUESTION: Why would we rejoice/boast about our problems?

ANSWER: We find comfort in knowing they are working perseverance/endurance in us.

4) perseverance, character; and character, hope.

(GNB) endurance brings God’s approval, and his approval creates hope.

“character,” – “1) proving, trial; 2) approved, tried character; 3) a proof, a specimen of tried worth” [Thayer].

QUESTION: What good comes from learning “perseverance”?

ANSWER: We develop Christian character; i.e., we develop a knowledge that we are approved by God in spite of all our flaws, which are often brought to light by trouble.

NOTE: As one great Christian songwriter put it:

“Even when our faith is small, we’ll never leave Him;

‘Cause even when we doubt God, we still believe Him.

And when it’s all said and done, and our time on earth has passed;

He’ll wipe away our tears at last.”

ANOTHER NOTE: I don’t believe Paul is saying that our trials will always demonstrate our developed character, and testify that we are spiritual giants. I believe he’s telling us that even when we don’t come through the trial as successfully as we wish we had, we still come through convinced that God loves us is spite of us.

QUESTION: What is the final result of this chain of growth from trouble, to patience, to experience?

ANSWER: We arrive at “hope,” which is where we began at the end of verse 2. Paul said “we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God” at the end of verse 2. In verses 3-4 he’s telling us that we should also rejoice in the process that brings us to that hope.

5) And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

1 John 3:1a) The Father has loved us so much! This shows how much he loved us: We are called children of God. And we really are his children.

QUESTION: What is Paul concluding regarding the process of trouble leading to perseverance, which leads to character, which leads to hope?

ANSWER: The destination that the process leads us to is worth our going through the process.

QUESTION: What do we discover on the journey?

ANSWER: God has bountifully invested His love in us. He sent His Son to die for us, and He sent His Holy Spirit to live in us. We are where we are because of His actions; not ours.

Romans 8:18) [NIV] I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Romans 8:29-30) [NIV] For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

30) And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Chapter 5, Verses 6-11

Once His Enemies, Now His Friends!

[7-8-18]

Review: “Now There’s Something To Brag About!”

Romans 5:1-5) [NIV] Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

NOTE: God has nothing against us! We can now live in peace with a Holy God. This is all a result of what Jesus accomplished for us, and on our behalf.

2) (ERV) Through our faith, Christ has brought us into that blessing of God’s grace that we now enjoy. And we are very happy because of the hope we have of sharing God’s glory.

“endurance,” – “Hupomonḗ is associated with hope (1Th 1:3) and refers to that quality of character which does not allow one to surrender to circumstances or succumb under trial” [Word Study].

30) And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

This Week’s Lesson: “Once His Enemies, Now His Friends!”

Romans 5:6-11) [NIV] You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

(GW) Look at it this way: At the right time, while we were still helpless, Christ died for ungodly people.

(MSG) Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn’t, and doesn’t, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn’t been so weak, we wouldn’t have known what to do anyway.

QUESTION: According to (GW), why does Paul say, “Look at it this way”?

“This opens a new view of the subject, or it is a new argument to show that our hope will not make ashamed, or will not disappoint us” [Barnes].

“His logic is that if God’s love went out to us when we were His ungodly enemies, will He not much more preserve us now that we belong to Him?” [BBC].

QUESTION: Why does Paul say, “while we were still powerless”?

ANSWER: We were hopelessly lost and there was nothing we could do to change it.

7) Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.

8) But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

QUESTION: Are there those who willingly risk, or give their life to save someone else?

ANSWER: Absolutely! Soldiers, law enforcement officers, and firemen all risk their lives for others; some who are good, some who aren’t. But the majority of us would save ourselves first.

QUESTION: What did God do to demonstrate His enormous love for us?

ANSWER: He sent His Son to die for us “while we were still sinners.”

*NOTE: Paul is building an argument to show us the depth of God’s love for us. He wants to convince us that we have every right to “rejoice in the hope of glory.”

9) Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!

(CEV) But there is more! Now that God has accepted us because Christ sacrificed his life’s blood, we will also be kept safe from God’s anger.

(GW) Since Christ’s blood has now given us God’s approval, we are even more certain that Christ will save us from God’s anger.

QUESTION: What is Paul’s argument here?

ANSWER: He wants us to understand that if God loved us enough when we were sinners to die for us, doesn’t it make sense that He loves us enough now that we’re Christians to keep us safe in Christ.

10) For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

(GW) If the death of his Son restored our relationship with God while we were still his enemies, we are even more certain that, because of this restored relationship, the life of his Son will save us.

QUESTION: What is Paul doing here?

ANSWER: He’s underlining what he said in the previous verse. It makes sense, he’s pointing out, that if Christ died to save us when we were enemies of God, then surely we can count on His keeping us now that we are His friends.

NOTE: This verse is pointing out that when we were sinners/unsaved WE WERE ENEMIES OF GOD! Unsaved people you know might be as nice as can be, but they are enemies of God. That’s the bad news; the good news is that He wants to save them and make them His friends.

11) Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

(GNB) But that is not all; we rejoice because of what God has done through our Lord Jesus Christ, who has now made us God’s friends.

(GW) In addition, our Lord Jesus Christ lets us continue to brag about God. After all, it is through Christ that we now have this restored relationship with God.

“reconciliation and atonement” – “A change or reconciliation from a state of enmity between persons to one of friendship” [Word Study].

QUESTION: What is Paul pointing out here?

ANSWER: God, by sending His Son to die for our sins, has now reconciled all who put their faith in Him to Himself. We are now right with God!

NOTE: Paul’s reasoning is that:

God loved us when we were hopelessly lost [vs. 6].
Christ died for us when we were sinners [vs. 8].
Through Christ’s death for us God reconciled us to Himself when we were His enemies [vs. 9-10].
Since that is true, God will now keeps us safe from His wrath [vs. 10].
We now enjoy a right relationship with a Holy God [vs. 11].

QUESTION: In these first 11 verses of this chapter what are we to rejoice in?

Standing in grace we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God [vs. 2].
We rejoice in our troubles because they are working a process in us that brings us to the above hope [vs. 3-5].
We rejoice in Christ Jesus who has reconciled us to God [vs. 11].

Sin Conquered, But Now Is Conquered!

[7-15-18]

Review: “Once His Enemies, Now His Friends!”

This Week’s Lesson: “Sin Conquered, But Now Is Conquered!”

Romans 5:12-16) [NIV] Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned.

(GNB) Sin came into the world through one man, and his sin brought death with it. As a result, death has spread to the whole human race because everyone has sinned.

QUESTION: Why are we all sinners?

ANSWER: When Adam sinned he died spiritually, and as a result the entire human family that was to come died spiritually as well.

QUESTION: What does “because all sinned” imply?

“That is what happened in Adam’s case. As a result of his sin, human death entered the world. Death became the common lot of all Adam’s descendants because they had all sinned in him. It is true that they all committed individual acts of sin as well, but that is not the thought here. Paul’s point is that Adam’s sin was a representative act, and all his posterity are reckoned as having sinned in him” [BBC].

“The personal sins of responsible persons are not now spoken of, but all the race sinned in Adam, its representative, infants, idiots, and all. Hence all die” [PNT].

NOTE: When Adam sinned we all sinned. We were all in his loins at the time. He was the Representative Man of the human race.

QUESTION: What might one find odd in Paul’s assessments regarding sin being passed onto all men?

*ANSWER: The first human sinner was Eve; yet it was Adam’s sin that spiritually killed us all.

NOTE: We don’t know what would have happened if, after Eve had sinned, Adam would have remained faithful. But, it appears from this passage that Eve would have died, but sin would not have passed unto the human race.

“The Apostle Paul regarded Genesis 3 as totally, historically true. According to Paul (and Jesus, as He says in Mat 19:4-6), Adam and Eve were real people and what they did has a lasting effect to the present day.

It is important to understand that the Adam and Eve account is not an optional passage to be accepted or rejected, or allegorized away. According to Paul’s theme here in Romans 5, you can’t take away Genesis 3 without taking away principles that lay the foundation for our salvation” [Guzik].

13) for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

14) Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.

QUESTION: What was different about the sins of those who sinned between Adam and Moses, and the sin of Adam?

ANSWER: The sins of those who sinned between Adam and the giving of the Law through Moses were sins that did not include breaking a commandment of God.

Romans 5:13b) [NIV] But sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

1 John 3:4) Whoever sins is guilty of breaking God’s law, because sin is a breaking of the law.

QUESTION: If there was no law to condemn this crowd, then why were they subject to death?

ANSWER: The reason is that they were guilty of Adam’s sin. Consequently, their lives were full of sin; though there was no written Law to condemn them. They still transgressed the law of their consciences.

NOTE: However, Paul’s Roman Epistle deals with the subject of Law versus Grace. And, in this area of his Epistle he is showing us the contrast between the First Adam and the Last Adam [1 Cor. 15:45], which is Jesus.

QUESTION: Why is Paul contrasting Adam and Jesus?

ANSWER: They were both representative men! In your flesh you are a descendent of Adam; in your regenerated spirit you are a descendent of Jesus.

NOTE: You were born into Adam; you were born again into Jesus!

IMPORTANT NOTE: As you will see this week and next, Adam’s sin was passed unto everyone who was, is, and will be born into him {the entire human family}; Jesus’ obedience is passed unto everyone who was, is, and will be born again into Him {the entire Christian family}.

15) But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!

(GW) There is no comparison between God’s gift and Adam’s failure. If humanity died as the result of one person’s failure, it is certainly true that God’s kindness and the gift given through the kindness of one person, Jesus Christ, have been showered on humanity.

QUESTION: What is Paul’s comparison here?

ANSWER: When Adam sinned, we all sinned; therefore, when Adam died, we all died. Paul says that in even a greater measure than sin and death flowing to all through Adam that grace, and its accompanying gift flows to “the many.”

NOTE: God’s grace is greater than Adam’s sin because Adam’s sin in my life can be trumped by God’s grace. Adam’s sin in my life can never trump God’s grace in my life; but that grace will always trump Adam’s sin!

16) Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.

(NLT) And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but we have the free gift of being accepted by God, even though we are guilty of many sins.

QUESTION: What is Paul’s comparison here?

ANSWER: He shows how much greater grace is than condemnation. It only took one sin [the sin of Adam in the garden] to condemn us all, but God’s grace follows our lifetime of sin [“many trespasses”] to bring us to justification. In other words, the victory of grace is far greater that the victory of sin!

NOTE: Adam sinned once and he was condemned; I have sinned a multitude of times and I have been declared “righteous” by a Holy God!

Chapter 5, Verses 17-21

I Am Not Righteous Because I Do Righteous Things!

[7-22-18]

Review: “Sin Conquered, But Now Is Conquered!”

Romans 5:12-16) [NIV] Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned.

13) for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

14) Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: Adam’s sin was passed unto everyone who was, is, and will be born into him; Jesus’ obedience is passed unto everyone who was, is, and will be born again into Him.

*15) But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!

NOTE: When Adam sinned, we all sinned; therefore, when Adam died, we all died. Paul says that in even a greater measure than sin and death flowing to all through Adam that grace, and its accompanying gift flows to “the many.”

*16) Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.

NOTE: Paul shows how much greater grace is than condemnation. It only took one sin, the sin of Adam in the garden, to condemn us all, but God’s grace follows our lifetime of sin, “many trespasses,” to bring us to justification. In other words, the victory of grace is far greater that the victory of sin!

NOTE: Adam sinned once and he was condemned; I have sinned a multitude of times and I have been declared “righteous” by a Holy God!

This Week’s Lesson: “I Am Not Righteous Because I Do Righteous Things!”

Romans 5:17-21) [NIV] For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

(MSG) If death got the upper hand through one man’s wrongdoing, can you imagine the breathtaking recovery life makes, sovereign life, in those who grasp with both hands this wildly extravagant life-gift, this grand setting-everything-right, that the one man Jesus Christ provides?

QUESTION: What does Paul conclude here?

ANSWER: If Adam’s sin could condemn all who were born in him, the human family, how much more will everyone who is born again in Jesus triumph over that condemnation; and they will receive the “gift” of having a right relationship with a Holy God!

QUESTION: Who are “the many” mentioned in verse 15?

ANSWER: They are the church; i.e., those who are born again.

18) Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.

(NLT) Yes, Adam’s one sin brought condemnation upon everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness makes all people right in God’s sight and gives them life.

19) For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

QUESTION: What about the “all men” of verse 18?

ANSWER: Note the following comment:

“The two alls in this verse do not refer to the same people. The first all means all who are in Adam. The second all means all who are in Christ. This is clear from the words in the preceding verse ‘those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness.’” [BBC].

QUESTION: What is verse 19 telling us?

I am not a sinner because I sinned; I’m a sinner because Adam sinned.
I am not righteous because I did something righteous; I’m righteous because Jesus did something righteous.
I didn’t become a sinner because I sinned; I sinned because I was a sinner.
I didn’t become righteous because I did something right; I did something right because I’m righteous.
All who are born into Adam [the human race] are born sinners.
All who are born again into Jesus [the believers] are born into righteousness.

20) The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

Romans 7: 7-8) (GNB) Shall we say, then, that the Law itself is sinful? Of course not! But it was the Law that made me know what sin is. If the Law had not said, “Do not desire what belongs to someone else,” I would not have known such a desire.

8) But by means of that commandment sin found its chance to stir up all kinds of selfish desires in me. Apart from law, sin is a dead thing.

QUESTION: What is the purpose of the Law?

ANSWER: The Law defines sin. We wouldn’t have a clear knowledge of what sin is without the Law. Our conscience would help us, but it took the giving of the Law to clearly define what sin is.

QUESTION: How did sin “increase” as a result of the Law?

ANSWER: In increased in two ways:

It increased in the sense that we are now aware of what sin is; consequently, sin increased in the sense of awareness.
The Law made the forbidden look good, so we sinned more in numbers [Romans 7:8].

QUESTION: In what way did grace increase “all the more”?

ANSWER: It took more grace to overcome more sin. The grace that covers a multitude of sin is greater than the grace the covers a single sin.

NOTE: The point here is that God’s grace “is greater that all my sin.” NO ONE HAS SINNED SO MUCH, OR SO EGREGIOUSLY THAT GRACE WON’T COVER IT IF THEY COME TO JESUS!

21) so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

17) For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

QUESTION: In what way did “death reign” as a result of Adam’s sin?

ANSWER: Adam’s sin introduced death; and as a result all who live will die until the Rapture. Death, in that sense, reigns over us all.

QUESTION: In what way does grace reign “in life”?

ANSWER: Grace restores the dead to life. Through grace I am no longer dead in my sins. I am now spiritually alive and grace will reign throughout eternity to allow me a place in Heaven.

A CLOSING NOTE: We were born into Adam; i.e., the human race, and as a result, we were born into sin and death. We are now born again into Jesus; i.e., the spiritual descendents of Abraham/the church, and as a result, we are born into righteousness and life. Adam was a type of Christ in the sense that only Adam and Christ were Representative Men. Only Adam and Christ impacted entire races; Adam’s sin brought death to the entire human family, and the obedience of Christ brought righteousness and life to the entire spiritual family of the “whosoever wills.”
