Romans 6 Research Paper

“A human is fundamentally a dialogue between body and spirit” (Swidler, 2014:2). Our sin nature comes from the point when “The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”(Genesis 2:9, NIV) This tree that God created will later be used as a tool to enable humanity’s initial fall. “Now the serpent was craftier than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” “You will not

The relationship that God has in our life as a saved Christian is authority. God has authority over our life because he is sovereign and all-mighty. In Romans 12:1-2 we are told that we need to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God. That is also a form of worship, because God sent his son to die for out sins we need to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God. It can be easy as a college student to focus more on school then God. So while at college I should use my time as worship. The Bible says we are created as a holy temple, so while at college everything I do should be devoted to God. I often do things and think how can this be used to glorify God? I am studying right now to be a teacher and through these studies one day

God created Adam and Eve to live in a perfect world, one filled with “pleasant [work]” for them to enjoy, where they tend the Garden of Eden together, with God and all of his angels close at hand (Milton 819). Through this vast expanse of land, they received all the knowledge they needed, and were given instruction not to eat of the forbidden tree because they would die. To gain knowledge of evil for “happier life”, as the Devil suggests, only leads to death and hard labor, something that neither of them will come to enjoy (Milton 831). To ascertain that the forbidding of

“And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability” Acts 2:4 (NLT).

The Biblical images of the Church are the basic concepts of becoming one with the Lord and with each other in perfect harmony. The mission for us is to be the salt and light of the earth and become that of which God wanted from us in the beginning. The first time salt is used in reference to the People of God is in Matthew 5:13 and this is a key point in understanding this image of the Church. The first time that light is used is in Matthew 5:14 and this marks the start of a huge step within the Church and those who belong to it. Together salt and light make the world a better place and help us keep a perfect faith that is good for all to enjoy.

Romans 12:13 states, “Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” Giving to those less fortunate is one of the most important things that I can do in my life. The greatest joy of service is to share it with others; Unfortunately, the elation of service is often overcome by the need to fill volunteer requirements for school functions. I once thought that I knew the complete intrinsic value of volunteering: working with friends to support the community. Focused on the bigger picture, I lost sight of the meaning of service to the less fortunate; However, I have since changed this, and I now align my understanding with Romans 12:13.

Sadly many believers of God are taught that “all you have to do is call upon the name of the Lord and you will be saved” and reciting what is commonly referred to as the "Sinner's Prayer" is the way of salvation. Baptism and obedience is minimized or all together omitted if literally saying "Lord" is all that is required. Jesus' last will and testament is clear in Matthew 28:18-20. Jesus never commands Christians do to anything that He Himself did not, specifically being baptized (Matthew 3:13-15). Jesus told John the baptizer that He had to be baptized of John to “fulfill all righteousness," that is, to fulfill prophecy. Fulfilling prophecy also meant being obedient

1. Jesus Christ is the Son of God - Jesus Christ is the Son of God refers to His deity. Jesus is fully God. Jesus is the second member of the Trinity and He is God in the flesh. There are several passages that point to this truth. Scripture such as Romans 9:5, Hebrews 1:8, Titus 2:13, and 2 Peter 1:1 all refer to Jesus as both God and Savior. The section of Scripture that most clearly points to Jesus as God is John 1:1-18.

Romans 3:21-24. Father God is the best supreme justice. The fact was if we have faith in him, there was no discriminative under God love and his laws. When we trust God, we are following his words, following the right path. We are all treated and judged equally through our faith to God. Wrongdoings come from the disobedience to God. Moreover, this verse also express that human first lack of honor of God since everyone was borned with sins. Jesus had come and died for us to cover all of our sins. Faith, for me, is the only key word to lead to be righteousness, and peace. I remember, last year, I got a punch of things to study for the health final exam, I did think I’m going to fail the health class. One of my friends had the idea that he showed me some cheating way that could be really useful for tests. First, I thought that would be the great ideas. Truly, sins was in me naturally . But then, I could not do it since it was so struggling to me. That’s when I prayed God to help me study well so that i didn’t need to use cheating stuffs for my text. I got faith in him and believed I could do it. So it did.

Justification by faith has enabled believers to have peace with God through Jesus Christ and access into His presence. Furthermore, Paul returns to the language of sacrifice in Romans 5:6-11. Add quote… In Romans 6:23, Paul reminds his readers that Christ’s sacrifice, a free gift, has appeased God’s wrath and brought eternal life for those who believe. Romans 8 declares in greater detail that Christ has set man free from the law and man is no longer under condemnation. Through God’s love and wrath He has provided a way for justice to be served and His righteousness brings man back as fellow heirs with Christ. Because of Christ and His complete work of propitiation nothing can separate the believer from His love. The good news of Romans 3:21-25 is expressed further as Paul reiterates in Romans 10:4,12, and 13 that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. There is no distinction between Jew and Gentile; all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved. God’s wrath

Since the moment Eve bit the apple from the tree of knowledge all of mankind has been introduced to evil which created humanities sinful nature. On the other hand, mankind was, nevertheless, created in God’s image which means humans still have the capability to love, create, reason, explore, be aware of right and wrong, justice, and to communicate and worship God (Origins, 2017). Jesus believed that since mankind was created in the image of God and created good by God, each person has the ability to be good, they just have to choose to be good. Many make wrong, sinful choices because they believe they know better than God. Mankind was made to follow God’s ‘rules’ because God knows best. Mankind was created to take dominion over God’s creation, to care for everything God had made. Genesis 1:28 explains how God commanded Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply.

As explained in the beginning of time, in the Bible, Eve ate from the one single tree God had told her not to, and because of that the demon of sin haunted her and most importantly the rest of humankind for the rest of eternity. As a result of that decision, sin has corrupted the human

In Romans 3:21, Paul presents his thesis: “But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.” According to Douglas J. Moo, Paul, in this verse, reveals the heart of the Gospel. Paul’s following sentences expand on how God’s righteousness covers humanity.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth ex nihilo (out of nothing). After God created the earth he made “the adam” out of the dust of the earth and by breathing into his nostrils made the man living. Everything God created was Good, the man was also good but only with woman was man complete. God created woman from the rib of Adam. Both Adam and his partner Eve were both placed in the Garden of Eden where they were to live and eat from, everything in the Garden except from the Tree of Knowledge, Good, and Evil. However one day a serpent came to Eve and asked made her question the command of not eating from the tree. The serpent told her that she could have knowledge and become like God if she ate from the tree. Both Adam and Eve ate from the tree and disobeyed God’s divine command. God in turn cursed the serpent as well as Adam and Eve. He told Adam that he would struggle and toil with the land and also that he will return to the dust just as he was created from it. God had to punish Adam and Eve for the disobedient act from where human corruption became apparent.

The book of Genesis chapters one through eleven show us the absolute beginning of the natural world as we know it. In all his magnificent glory God created objects with sense awareness, self-awareness and finally man, which had God awareness. What God made was good; however, whenever there is good, the enemy seeks to destroy it. Here enters sin, “the corruption of the human race, and the long, difficult history of fallen humanity” (Hindson and Yates 2012:2)
