Scriptural Confirmations # 4
4. 2. The Son of God (Romans 1:3-4).
Called after Jesus Christ, Christians (Romans 1:6) through the faith of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:22).
Faith in Christ. Through Jesus Christ we have peace toward God, and to God we have access by faith into this grace, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2).
By Jesus Christ were we reconciled to God (Romans 5:10,11).
As by one man sin entered into the world, so by the justice of one are we justified (Romans 5:12, 13, 15, 18-19).
There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, in order that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit (Romans 8:1-4). Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34).
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, hunger, death, angels, principalities, height, depth, etc. (Romans 8:35-39)?
From the fathers Christ is according to the flesh, who is over all; God blessed forever. Amen (Romans 9:5).
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved (Romans 10:13).
We are one body in Christ; all are members having different gifts according to grace (Romans 12:5-6). The gifts which belong to different members are enumerated in a long series (verses 6, 13).
Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).
Whether we live, we live in the Lord; whether we die, we die in the Lord; therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died and rose and lived again that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living (Romans 14:8-9).
It is written, I live, saith the Lord, for every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Romans 14:11). Isaiah saith, there shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to rule over the nations; in Him shall the nations hope (Romans 15:12).
The Gospel of Christ (Romans 15:19-21).
Chosen and tried in the Lord, in Christ: to work and labor in the Lord (Romans 16:8-13).
Romans 13
1
Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
2
Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
3
For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,
4
for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn't bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
5
Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake.
6
For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God's service, attending continually on this very thing.
7
Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
8
Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9
For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not give false testimony," "You shall not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
10
Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
11
Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
12
The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let's therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let's put on the armor of light.
13
Let us walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
14
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
