This Lord’s Day, we arrive at a new section of Romans in chapter 9. Here in this chapter, Paul switches gears to answer an implicit question: With all of these Gentiles coming to faith, what does that mean for national Israel? Has God abandoned one people for the sake of another? Paul uses the doctrine of election to show that it is not those who are descended form Abraham by blood only who are heirs of the promise. But it is those who are descendants of Abraham by faith. This passage also highlights the spiritual nature of the Christian faith, and teaches us about the distinction between the visible and invisible Church.

This Lord’s Day, Paul puts our suffering as Christians into perspective. As we await the appointed day when we will receive in fullness our inheritance, we groan inwardly at the evil of this world and of ourselves. But God’s own Spirit groans with us, and translates our groaning into holy prayers.

This Lord’s Day, we continue to examine Romans 8. This week, we see the doctrine of adoption brought into focus. As we are transferred from Adam and the dominion of death to union with Christ and the dominion of the Spirit, so we learn that we have become co-heirs with Christ. All which the Lord Jesus Christ received by right, He shares with us by grace.

This Lord’s day, we arrive at the glory and comfort of Romans 8. As we begin this chapter, we see how the Christian’s new life and assurance is bound up - not in who they are or what they’ve done - but in who Christ is, and what He has done.

This Lord’s Day we arrive at Romans 7. This chapter is famous for Paul’s honest spiritual autobiography. He provides us readers with a brief glimpse into the state of his own sanctification. When we see the Apostle’s situation, we at once recognize it as familiar to ourselves. Just as we do, the apostle struggled mightily with sin this side of glory. The Lord willing, we will see 1.) why Christians continue to struggle with sin 2.) What do to about it.

Last Lord’s Day, Paul began to address the antinomian response to the gospel. The antinomian response sees the gospel as a “get out of jail free card” which allows us to sin without consequence. However, this is not what the gospel is. Paul reminded us last week that the gospel provides a fundamental change to who we are: we are united to Christ in His resurrection life. Now, in the latter half of Chapter 6, Paul continues to tackle antinomianism. Now, he approaches our relationship with the Law. In Christ, we relate to the law differently. Specifically, we will see this Lord’s Day how in Christ we serve a new master. We are no longer enslaved to sin, but now bound to righteousness.

This Lord’s Day, we arrive at Romans 6. This week we will look at the first 14 verses. In this chapter, Paul is dealing with an incorrect response to the gospel. We have already seen one incorrect response: Legalism (Romans 2-4). Now, Paul is dealing with the opposite issue: antinomianism. Antinomianism simply means “anti law”. It is a response of the gospel which says “If God forgives sins, then why not sin as much as possible, so God can forgive as much as possible?” or “If Jesus really did forgive me, it doesn’t matter what I do now”. We will see this week and next week how these two responses fail to understand the true nature of the gospel and its transformative new life.
