Summary: CHRIST DESIRES ALL MEN TO BE SAVED.
ALL THINGS
INTRODUCTION:
MANY BIBLE SCHOLARS REGARD ROMANS, CHAPTER 8 AS AMONG OF THE GREATEST THEOLOGICAL SCRIPTURES IN THE BIBLE. BEGINNING WITH NO CONDEMNATION IN VERSE 1, IT ENDS WITH NO SEPARATION, VERSE 39.
SPIRITUAL INSIGHT:
ROMANS 8:31-32
PAUL, IN VERSE 32, RESPONDS TO A RHETORICAL QUESTION BY IN VERSE 31. THE WORDS “THESE THINGS” REFER TO GOD’S PURPOSE. IF GOD IS IN CONTROL, HIS PURPOSES WILL TRANSPIRE. THIS REALITY IS NON-DEBATABLE ANYONE QUESTIONING THIS REALITY IS IN GRAVE ERROR.
READ 1 TIMOTHY 2: 1-6
GOD’S DESIRE IS FOR ALL TO BE SAVED. SIN PASSED ON TO ALL MAN BECAUSE OF ADAM AND EVE’S SIN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN (GENESIS 3). ROMANS 5:12 SAYS THE SIN PASSED ON TO ALL MEN WITHOUT EXCEPTION. REDEMPTION FROM THIS SIN COMES BY WHAT THE SCRIPTURES TEACHES RATHER THAN MAN’S DISTORTED VIEWS. GOD IS CLEARLY ON YOUR SIDE!
APPLICATION:
CHRIST GIVES YOU ALL THINGS NEEDFUL, ALL THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOU. .THIS INCLUDES ALL THAT IS NEEDED FOR YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH!
