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).
1 Corinthians 4
1
Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
4
For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
6
And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
7
For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
8
Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9
For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
10
We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
11
Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
12
And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14
I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15
For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
17
For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
18
Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
19
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
20
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21
What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
