IN HELL

Romans and Christ’s Direct Teachings:

​

The Theme OF ROMANS IS TO ABANDON RELIGION; ABANDON THE LETTER OF THE LAW AND TO LIVE BY THE FAITH IN CHRIST TO FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE.

 

To the national jews and pagan gentiles in Rome who infiltrated the churches in Rome and brought the letter of their religious law to the spreading churches.

God used Paul’s letter to correct this ignorance of HIS TRUTH.

​

RELIGION JUDGES PEOPLE. God wants us to know that only HE is the JUDGE and HE only Judges the hearts of each individual.

*A PERSON HAS NO RIGHT BY GOD TO JUDGE ANOTHER PERSON.

We are to never judge ourselves against the standard of another person because we all will be Judged by God. WE are to judge righteous judgement of ourselves against Christs example to us.

GOD WANTS US TO KNOW THAT THE LEVEL TO WHICH WE JUDGE OTHERS, IS A DIRECT REFLECTION OF THE STATE OF OUR OWN HEARTS BEFORE THE LORD.

 

Chapter 1:

​

[1] Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

 

 **Paul was hand picked of Jesus to be Judas’ replacement…..Not Matthias.

[2] (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
[3] Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
[4] And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
[5] By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
[6] Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

 

**This is the only supernatural calling of God. Remember, the Spirit convinces all of the world of sin and of His Righteousness and of our Judgement to come.

[7] To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

**Saints do not count the cost of their belief in Christ, they are willing to lose their temporary life in this cursed world, looking only to a better and Heavenly Country.

[8] First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
[9] For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

 

**Let us pray always for the faith and patience of the saints.

[10] Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
[11] For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
[12] That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
[13] Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
[14] I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
[15] So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
[16] For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
[17] For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

 

**In this last time, God is only Glorified by our sacrifice of faith in Him. Faith willing to die daily to this fake world system for His Name sake.

 

Reference to how the Lord changed at Christ’s Coming:

 

In those days God wanted His Glory through the physical and visible. He created a physical nation on earth for Himself and used that nation for His Glory, to spread His Name through fear in His Name among the dogs (unbelieving, heathen nations). According to Scripture that alone was the reason for His interventions including national interventions, the raising and lower of kings, etc.

 

God has no physical nation on earth since Christ. His kingdom on earth now is spread across the hearts of all saints and is Spiritual only. Conversely He makes no interventions anymore.  He raises no kings nor lowers them. He gave control of the world's socioeconomic systems to Satan when our Lord Jesus was born. Satan (by God's decision) controls all principalities and powers from the highest to the lowest levels.

 

God used Daniel to provide clues, the last series of kingdoms on earth are described as beasts led by the wicked with the final kingdom (prior to our Lord's return) as a world wide kingdom reigning over all other kings and led by the "beast". Now, it is our death to this temporary physical life on earth that gives God Glory, nothing physical here does.

[18] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
[19] Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
[20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

​

**Connects also to Acts 17

[21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
[22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
[23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
[24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

 

**The farther the wicked get from God, the more weirdly wicked they become. MANIFESTED by fleshly fornication which never satisfies and gets worse and worse, culminating in homosexuality, transsexualism, pedophilia and on and on, weirder and weirder.

[25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
[26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
[27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

 

**When people reject God’s Authority, they become more and more rebellious against God, God then hardens their hearts more and makes examples of them according to HIS Righteous Principles.

[28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
[29] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
[30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
[31] Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
[32] Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

 

**They always knew since childhood making them all WITHOUT EXCUSE.

 

Chapter 2:

​

[1] Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

 

**Our judging of others in the flesh is usually always because we still harbor similar thoughts in our hearts.

 

We must keep ourselves from this. We must not judge others in the flesh. We are susceptible to sin SO WE CANNOT SET UP A STANDARD FOR OTHERS THAT WE OURSELVES CAN EASILY FALL INTO.  Those who are busybodies and always condemn the actions of others, CONDEMN THEMSELVES with their judgments of others.

 

Judgement of others is STEEPED in our own faults and cloaked so that we appear pious over a standard of conduct WE OURSELVES cannot keep.         

​

James 3: [5] Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
[6] And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
[7] For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
[8] But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

 

In our flesh we cannot overcome this without total reliance on the Holy Spirit. DYING to self daily, walking in His Spirit which is Walking with Him.

[9] Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
[10] Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
[11] Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
[12] Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
[13] Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
[14] But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
[15] This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
[16] For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
[17] But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
[18] And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

 

REMEMBER the Words of our Lord in the Sermon on the Mount and reiterated here in ROMANS: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

 

[2] But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
[3] And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

 

**Careful how we judge others in those things that they do KNOWING FULL WELL WE DO THE SAME OR HAVE PLEASURE IN THOSE WHO DO THE SAME.

[4] Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

 

How are we any better than others? If we walk in the SPIRIT then WE WILL NOT JUDGE OTHERS. ONLY WHEN WE WALK IN THE FLESH DO WE DO SO.

 

SO: THE JUDGING OF OTHERS IS NEVER OF GOD AND ALWAYS OF SATAN AND THE FLESH.

 

THINK ABOUT IT: HOW DARE WE JUDGE OTHERS WHEN WE ARE THE RECIPIENTS OF GOD’S MERCY. HOW DOES THIS GO TOGETHER? WE ASK AND RECEIVE FORGIVENESS FROM GOD BUT TURN AROUND AND ACT LIKE GOD WHO JUDGES?

 

GOD TELLS US WE ARE TO JUDGE ONLY OURSELVES: THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN US. THERE ARE ONLY TWO CATEGORIES FOR US TO JUDGE RIGHTEOUSNESS JUDGMENT:

 

BELIEF AND UNBELIEF.

 

**LISTEN: THE FLESH IS WEAK AND WE CAN NEVER SEE THE HEART SO HOW CAN WE PRESUME TO JUDGE ANOTHER?

 

I Corthinians 11: 31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

[5] But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
[6] Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

 

Stop bringing to light your judgements of others, keep them to yourselves and pray for God to help you to be more like Christ and HIS example. Our flesh desires that we judge others according to appearance but our Lord Judges according to the heart. We can never see the hearts of others, ONLY OUR OWN, so who are we to judge others?

[7] To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
[8] But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
[9] Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
[10] But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

 

** THIS WORKING OF GOOD IS ONLY THROUGH WALKING IN THE SPIRIT NEVER OF OURSELVES BECAUSE WE ARE JUST AS EASILY FALLEN INTO SIN AS OTHERS.

[11] For there is no respect of persons with God.
[12] For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
[13] (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
[14] For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

[15] Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

 

** The dogs of satan’s religions all use the standard of God's Law twisted in their own ways and use those laws to judge each other constantly in the flesh. It makes one feel better about their own faults when they constantly point to the faults of others.

[16] In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

 

These can only hide their faults from each other while they judge each other. NONE CAN HIDE FROM GOD.

[17] Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
[18] And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
[19] And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
[20] An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
[21] Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
[22] Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

 

**THIS IS THE LAW OF THE FLESH THE NATURAL MAN WHO JUDGES ALL OTHERS BUT NEVER HIMSELF.

While he judges others, God judges him and there is no escape.

[23] Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
[24] For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
[25] For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

 

How can we say we are of God when we ourselves are hypocrites.

 

[26] Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
[27] And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
[28] For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
[29] But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

 

We can try to stop the actions of others, but only the Spirit of Christ can change their heart. That must be the focus of our prayers of supplication to God for them. Do not complain about others when you won't lift them up to the Lord in prayer to strengthen their faith to conform into our Lord's Image.

​

Chapter 3:

 

[1] What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
[2] Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

 

**Remember the national jews had all the advantages of God and still spit in HIS Face.

[3] For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
[4] God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar;

 

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD WITHOUT FAITH IN HIS SON. ALL OUR GOOD DEEDS ARE FILTHY RAGS TO GOD WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT BY WHOM ALL TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS COMES.

 

As it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

 

**As the unbelieving jews of this day so it is with all of the self righteous by religion. These will never overcome their sin when they stand before God at their Judgement.

 

**when we judge others it is because we are in the flesh and have confidence in our own self righteousness. This is how the national jews distorted God’s Truth about the Old Testament.

 

Without total reliance on the Spirit to walk with God, all our righteousness is filthy before God.

SEE the paradox, if we judge it is because we are thinking in the flesh. If we don’t judge others but rather pray for them, that Is of the Spirit.

[5] But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
[6] God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

 

**IF RELIGION whether the jew's traditions or any man made way to God is worthy of confidence or notice by God then WHY WOULD GOD JUDGE THE WORLD?

[7] For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
[8] And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
[9] What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
[10] As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

 

So who are we to judge another?

THOSE WHO CLING TO MADE UP RELIGION APART FROM GOD’S WORD ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NONE OF IT IS OF GOD.

[11] There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
[12] They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
[13] Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
[14] Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
[15] Their feet are swift to shed blood:
[16] Destruction and misery are in their ways:
[17] And the way of peace have they not known:
[18] There is no fear of God before their eyes.

 

EVER WONDER WHY WARS HAVE BEEN FOUGHT SINCE CHRIST OVER MAN MADE Religions? True faith in Christ will never result in conflict. The world's religions are all crafted of Satan through his great Whore, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations on the earth.

[19] Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
[20] Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

 

God gave Israel His Law to show them that they could not live up to it by themselves and in their own power. He gave it that they might understand their true purpose for existence which is to walk with God as His grateful children.

[21] But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
[22] Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
[23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
[24] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
[25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

 

**BY OUR FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, GOD HAS PASSED OVER ALL OF OUR SIN. ALL OF WHICH ARE “THE PAST” TO GOD. He is apart from Time and has imputed His Righteousness over us:

 

So how can we judge each other when we who believe are given this same Grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Is the sin of others worse than our own?

[26] To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
[27] Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

 

NO FLESH SHALL EVER GLORY IN HIS PRESENCE. HE RESPECTS NO ONES SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS OR PERSON.

[28] Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
[29] Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
[30] Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
[31] Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

 

FOR BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN AND THIS LAW IS UPON THE MINDS OF ALL MEN.

 

​**REMEMBER the Theme OF ROMANS IS TO ABANDON RELIGION; ABANDON THE LETTER OF THE LAW AND TO LIVE BY THE FAITH IN CHRIST TO FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE.

 

The LAW was made by God to separate His People from the heathen nations in how they lived to give God Glory. This failed after time as Israel committed adultery after adultery against God. God then used the Law PRIMARILY to show His People, Israel, that they were hopeless sinners without HIS Grace and Mercy.

 

Prior to the Flood there was no law and God adjusted. The people prior to the Flood didn’t even know that they were sinners committing sins. Every man did what was right in his own eyes.

 

THEN CAME God’s adjustment and His Laws

 

Israel was formed with the LAW to separate them and then to show them that they need God’s Grace and Mercy.

Then with His new Bride, the church, God abolished His previous adjustments and made one final adjustment.

 

Chapter 4:

 

[1] What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
[2] For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
[3] For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
[4] Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

[5] But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
[6] Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
[7] Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
[8] Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
[9] Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
[10] How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

 

** The point is that God has always declared our faith and obedience as Righteousness;  HIS Righteousness.

 

Faith to follow our Lord to death is the evidence of God. Faith comes only by hearing the Word of God. His Word is swift and powerful and sharper than any two edged sword piercing and dividing asunder both the soul and spirit, cutting deep into the heart.

[11] And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
[12] And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
[13] For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

 

**The Law showed Israel that they could not follow God in the flesh but only through true faith. Faith that results in a change of life’s directions from the fake world to the real world of eternity after this AUDITION on earth.

 

God calls it the circumcision of the heart. That is what He wants from each of us. HEARTS SET ASIDE ONLY FOR GOD AND ETERNITY.

[14] For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
[15] Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

 

The LAW could never make anyone righteous in HIS Sight, only faith in the heart could EVER do it.

[16] Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

​[17] (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

 

This is the Righteousness of God imputed or placed over us, all the while we deserve none of His Grace.

[18] Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
[19] And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
[20] He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
[21] And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
[22] And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
[23] Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
[24] But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
[25] Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

​

Chapter 5:

​

[1] Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
[2] By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
[3] And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
[4] And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
[5] And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

 

**Note this list matches the steps of growth in Grace and in the Knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Never being ashamed of Him and His Salvation.

We are to be the partakers of HIS Divine Nature conforming into HIS image.

 

[6] For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
[7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
[8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

 

God provided salvation to all peoples and He calls all peoples to Him not just those who seem to be upright. Only those pure in heart who seek HIM.

 

[9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
[10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
[11] And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
[12] Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

 

**Adam and Eve’s sin passed physical and spiritual death onto all people because God knows already that all will sin continuously because of Adam and Eve’s sin. By God's allowance Satan continues and intensifies his worldwide deception as the Prince of the power of the air, the "god" of this fake world system-Satan.

[13] (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

[14] Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
[15] But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
[16] And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
[17] For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

 

** Notice these five verses were all contained within one quotation. It is all the same thought.

Adam was the first man. Christ is the last man. Adam caused spiritual death to come over the world as the FIRST MAN. Christ came to sacrifice Himself to cover the sins of the First man.

 

Christ came in the form of the first man to show that we can overcome the world because of HIM as the LAST MAN. However, being the last man caused God’s Righteousness to be GIVEN to ALL who trust in Him and then follow Him.

[18] Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
[19] For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
[20] Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
[21] That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

** More proof that God gave the LAW to show His people their sins and their need for His Righteousness through Faith in Him.

​

Chapter 6:

​

[1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
[2] God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
[3] Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
[4] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

 

**Newness of life is the realization of our purpose for existence, to walk with God as HIS grateful friends.

[5] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

 

**If we die for Him in this fake world because He died for us then we will be like HIM and live with Him for eternity in peace and happiness.

[6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
[7] For he that is dead is freed from sin.

 

**Now we recognize sin and want to avoid it. Before, we did not recognize sin, only laws.

[8] Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

 

IF WE BE DEAD TO THIS WORLD AND IT FALSITY then and only then will we live with Him for eternity.

[9] Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
[10] For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

 

**Our true purpose for existing period. Not for men, not for appearance, not for keeping up with the joneses. But living for Christ by conformance into HIS Image.

[11] Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
[12] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
[13] Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

 

**Purposely live against the natural man and humble ourselves before the Lord.

[14] For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

 

**Liberty in Christ means without the letter, without following rules made up by men. Following God by His Power only through total reliance on Him in prayer and in His Word.

[15] What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
[16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

 

**More evidence that we must walk with Him in the Spirit and resist the devil because of our flesh.

[17] But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
[18] Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

 

We no longer sin continuously and at will because our WILL, our hearts, our spirits and our minds now want to live for Jesus and like Jesus.  To be free from sin means to be free from its imprisonment of us. Now because of the Indwelling Spirit of Christ in us, we now have the new found ability to recognize sin and to choose to avoid it when we walk in the Spirit. If we walk in the Spirit, we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

[19] I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

 

Emulating our Lord and His Life on earth. Not caring about the temporary but only the eternal with Christ and in Christ.

[20] For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
[21] What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

 

**What a waste of time when we had the time. All the time we served satan in his fake world matrix, not knowing or believing the truth. But now we know it in our hearts.

[22] But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
[23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
