Romans

NOTE: Friday’s Verse of the Day said we would continue Daniel 10:12 today, but a Bible Study has sent me in a different direction for a period of time. July 19, 2021 – Monday Romans 12:20    NIV 20 On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;  if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head. Comment  This came as a result of our Bible Study tonight when…

July 09, 2021 – Friday Romans 8:38-39    NIV 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,  39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39    TLV 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to…

February 26, 2021 – Friday Romans 14:22-23         NIV 22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.  23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin. Comment Yesterday’s verse of the day (verses 1-4 same chapter) was a lead in for today’s verses which explicitly states, whatever you…

February 25, 2021 – Thursday Romans 14:1-4         ESV 1 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions.  2 One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables.  3 Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.  4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another?…

February 24, 2021 – Wednesday Romans 13:11-14         NIV 11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.  12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.  13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in…

February 22, 2021 – Monday Romans 10:14-15         NIV 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?  15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” [Isaiah 52:7] Comment Friday, we finished with verse 13 and today we…

February 19, 2021 – Friday Romans 10:9-13         EHV 9 Certainly, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  10 For it is with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and it is with the mouth that a person confesses, resulting in salvation.  11 For Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in Him will not be put to shame.”  12 So there is no distinction between…

February 18, 2021 – Thursday Romans 10:1-4         NIV 1 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.  2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.  3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.  4 Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may…

February 16, 2021 – Tuesday Romans 9:30-33         NIV 30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal.  32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.  33 As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a…

February 15, 2021 – Monday Romans 6:8         NIV 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. Comment To really make any sense of this we need the three preceding verses, 5 For if we have been united with Him in a death like His, we will certainly also be united with Him in a resurrection like His. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body ruled by sin might…

February 12, 2021 – Friday Romans 4:23-25         NIV 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.  25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. Comment Only yesterday we read and discussed verses 17 and 18 in this chapter which read, As it is written:…

February 11, 2021 – Thursday Romans 4:17-18          NIV 17 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 into being things that were not. 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.” Comment Paul in…
