Redemption for Jew and Gentile - Romans 9 Verse-by-Verse

 A Verse-by-Verse Study of Romans 9

 

From the 1888 Message Perspective

 

"The theme of Romans 9 is God’s everlasting covenant. God promised Christ as the Guarantor of His covenant and He elected the whole human race to be saved. Strict Calvinism teaches that God elected a special few to be saved. Islam, too, has its version of Allah’s sovereignty of election. Arminian Protestantism says, God has offered salvation to everyone if they do something right first and believe. Paul taught the Truth of the Gospel: God has already given the election of salvation to everyone."  -- Paul E. Penno

Lesson 5: “Justification and the Law”

"In other words, justification by faith is the experience of seeing the uplifted Saviour and appreciating the fact that “if one died for all, then were all dead” (2 Cor. 5:14); i.e., all would be dead if One had not died for all. This effective gift of God’s amazing forgiveness in Christ is given to the sinner and it reconciles an enemy’s heart to God so that the soul receives the atonement."  Paul E. Penno

"The righteousness of the law fulfilled in us is the atonement. It is the practical meaning of the cleansing of the sanctuary. It is true justification by faith. It is Christ’s gift to us as our High Priest in the holiest of all. Thus Romans is an invitation into the Most Holy Place with Christ."
—Paul E. Penno

"The healing and health of the church can only come about by the restorative power of the cross. The integrity of the church lies in the pathway of Christ's gift of corporate repentance."  -- Paul E. Penno

Lesson 10: “Integrity: Wholeness and Holiness”   
"The gospel does not teach you to be good so you can have fun. The gospel shows you what true faith is in Jesus and His accomplishment on the cross and that produces true joy. So what did He accomplish? Jesus delivered you from the second death. That is what hell is. Hell is fire and brimstone at the close of the millennium; however, there is such a thing as burning embarrassment here and now."  Paul E. Penno

A Mother With a Difference

"The glory of the gospel is that Jesus took upon Himself the full genetic inheritance Mary gave Him and which we all have, and yet in that fallen, sinful nature He lived a life of perfect righteousness, having “condemned sin in the flesh” so that in us who believe there may be present “the righteousness of the law” (Rom. 8:3, 4)."  Paul E. Penno

Self-Interpretation

"A growing deception found in Christian counseling (and throughout society) is the false gospel of “self-esteem” which is incompatible with the Biblical Gospel of the Cross of Jesus Christ."

"Then we discover something precious: it is easy to be saved and it is hard to be lost, when we begin to appreciate that much more abounding grace! We must not conclude that the upward path is the “hard path” and the downward path is the “easy one;” it’s the opposite."  ~Paul E. Penno
