Romans 8 Essay

Improved Essays
Romans is an important book. When reading it, and really trying to understand it, a person can learn a lot. This book is full of ways that people can relate to relationships and the several ways a person may struggle in their personal life. It is also very helpful and encouraging. These passages help someone to understand that what is meant to the Christians back then; furthermore, how similar it is to what it means to be a Christians today; furthermore, that no matter what there is nothing that can separate us from God and the love He has for us. The book of Romans 8 is somewhat negative in the beginning. It speaks about how we are not good enough on several different levels. However, when you get to Romans 8: 26-38 it changes a bit. It goes on to tell us that God has come and died for our sins; which in return, restores us. God created us and He knows everything there is to know about us.

Back then people did not seem to have the fear that most people today do. They also do not seem to rely so much on worldly things. Back then they did not have electronics, as much entertainment and even very much money. Most that knew Jesus, knew that He was and, should be, everything to them. However, in today’s society people tend to focus on and rely on so many worldly things. Everything in people’s lives focus on things rather than Him. Therefore, they forget and do not need God unless they are really, really in a world of hurt. God used and still uses the Holy Spirit to help us, and speak to us, in ways that we might not understand, or may not even get, at that particular moment. The principle derived from the biblical text is that no matter what we can always reach out to God and He will always be there. This, very much, is applicable both to the first and twenty-first

    The first message I ever gave was here a couple of years ago, and it was also on Romans. And in that message, I explained what it meant when certain words are used to begin a passage. Romans 8:28 begins with the word “AND”. When a passage starts with the word “AND”, what it means is, that it’s a connection. It’s a connection between what he has been saying and what he's about to say.…

    Humans were created in the image of God, and were created by God. Human identity can be identified as the understanding of God and his word, and the meaning of our true nature. However, the book of Romans articulates that humans have ignored the word of God and continuously live in sin, regardless of the outcome. Humans were living reckless lives and ignored the word of God. Humanity could only be saved by believing in Faith and God’s grace.…

    I really like the image called "Those Who Love Me Will Keep My Word". In this image it shows two people who are obviously starving and the one on top is holding the other and feeding him something from a bowl. I interpret the image as Jesus (on top) giving his strength and hope to someone else (on the bottom). I chose this representation of Jesus because Jesus is the definition of strength and grace, he will help anyone before himself. When Jesus was on earth he helped anyone who needed it; the blind, poor, and those who were weak.…

    “There is therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.” Paul’s opening to Chapter 8 is indicative of the participatory nature of justification realized in sanctification. Those who are in Christ Jesus are no long defined by the past, but rather are defined a future reality being realized through the Spirit of life. Spirit-enable participation in the life of Christ is one of transformation.…

    The Love of God God is the creator of all life and he is the highest of all powers, he embodies all ‘persons’ (The Father, The Son, and The Spirit). Although we cannot be as him, we should try to follow his guidance. In this world, it is easy to get wrapped in earthly things. We are humans, and many of times we fail by trying to hold a certain status, gain certain materialistic possessions, and cause great emotional/physical harm to one another. In my beliefs, that is not the way one should live.…
