Die for live
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
In this study of Romans, the focus remains on the fact that human beings cannot save themselves, but need a savior in Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of grace in salvation, but also reminds us of the need for holiness and obedience to God's commandments. In Chapter 6, he addresses the logical error of continuing to sin just because grace abounds, and emphasizes the importance of living a life that reflects the holiness that the Gospel calls for. God established the Jewish law as a legal precedent for all of humanity, knowing that no one could live up to it, and thus creating the need for grace. Paul marvels at the complexity of God's salvific plan, and acknowledges that all have fallen short of the glory of God, but have been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Paul contemplates the complexity of God's plan of salvation and marvels at the abundance of grace that is poured out on humanity despite their sin. He warns against using grace as an excuse to continue in sin and emphasizes the importance of living in holiness and surrender to God. The devil sets traps for us to believe that we can live with impunity, but sin eventually possesses and masters us. Christians are called to submit to the Kingdom of God and not let sin reign over them. It is important to seek help and confess sins to break the trap of sin and live transparent lives. God seeks internal conflict to cover us with his grace.
The speaker believes that God seeks internal conflict within believers in order to cover them with his grace. He encourages believers to not give up the fight against sin and to present their bodies as instruments of justice. He reminds believers that they are free in Christ Jesus and should not let anything enslave them. The goal is to live a powerful and triumphant life that reflects the values of the Kingdom of God. The speaker encourages believers to not give up and to keep fighting the good fight.Continuing our study of our Romans letter, we restart the year by continuing with a very, very powerful teaching. And I also remind the brothers and visitors what is the heart of this letter and it is up to here that we have seen the Apostle Paul show us one thing: man, woman, human beings cannot be saved by themselves, they need a savior and that savior is Jesus Christ.
In the first Chapters, Paul dedicates himself to showing that the unconverted, the Jews who are the people of God, and today we could say, the Evangelicals or the Catholics, or any Christian, no one can be saved by their own works of justice, all of us, he says, fall short of the glory of God because we have sinned. No human being by himself can be saved and that is why God has provided Christ Jesus. Salvation is why? By grace, by God's generosity to us. When the man, when the woman, understands his inability to be saved by himself and accepts the work of Christ on the cross of Calvary and says to the Father, 'Father, I believe that your Son is the savior of my life and of humanity and I confess it with my mouth', the Lord says, 'it's okay, daughter, there is no condemnation for you, now I justify you'.
