Bible Commentary - Romans

Romans 3:23. The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life are the three avenues through which Satan tempts mankind. Is sin inevitable? I cannot say. However, I say with all confidence that all who have ever lived have sinned, and all who are yet to be born will sin.

Romans 6:1. This erroneous conclusion was based on the statement in 5:20b. If our interpretation of scripture leads to evil conclusions, then the interpretation is wrong.

Romans 7:9. All those passing from childhood to adulthood, at some stage, become accountable for their sin. To what degree an individual becomes enslaved to sin will, to a large extent, depend on the instruction they received from their parents. But let us be careful not to blame our parents or the circumstances in which we were raised for our present behaviour. When you sin it is because you choose to do so.

Romans 8:29. Our purpose here on earth is to become conformed to the image of Christ. Conformity begins with learning and ends in the application of that knowledge in our day-to-day lives.

Romans 10:9. The resurrection of Jesus is the crucial and pivotal point of the gospel. To believe that He was raised from the dead is to believe all the truths dependant upon it. Preaching the resurrection, therefore, is to profess all the truths of the gospel.
