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).
Colossians 3
1
If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
2
Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
3
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4
When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
5
Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
6
for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
7
You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
8
but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
9
Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
10
and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
11
where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
12
Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
13
bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
14
Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
17
Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.
18
Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19
Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them.
20
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
21
Fathers, don't provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged.
22
Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
23
And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,
24
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
25
But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
