NO FEAR OF GOD / ROMANS 3:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 3:18

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

NO FEAR OF GOD / ROMANS 3:10

Why does the disgraceful condition of humanity continue? Because “there is not fear of God before their eyes.” To fear God means to have a deep wonder and reverence for Hom, which keeps us aware of our accountability to the Almighty God. If people had a true fear of God, they would have desired to be restored to God and to make peace with Him. “Through the fear of the Lord a man avoids evil” (Proverbs 16:6; Proverbs 3:7; 8:13; 9:10; Acts 5:11).

NO ONE RIGHTEOUS / ROMANS 3:10-18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 3:10-18

 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

17 And the way of peace have they not known:

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

NO ONE RIGHTEOUS / ROMANS 3:10-18

These verses reveal the facts about human nature. All people in their natural state are sinners, separated from God and prone to go their own way (Isaiah 53:6). Our entire being has been affected by sin. Apart from God we are drawn toward the evil and rebellious ways of the world, the devil (Matthew 4:10) and the selfishness of our human nature. All are guilty of rejecting godliness and embracing selfishness.

ARE ALL UNDER SIN / ROMANS 3:9

(KJV) Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

ARE ALL UNDER SIN / ROMANS 3:9

In Romans 1-2, Paul has shown that all people, Jews and non-Jews alike, are in spiritual slavery to sin. In Romans 3:9-18, he explains why as he teaches that all people possess a sinful nature – a nature that they are born with that is constantly pulling them toward sin and evil. The result is that all are guilty before God and deserve the greatest penalty: death (Romans 3:23) and permanent separation from God. But God’s loving response to this tragic situation is to provide a way of restoring us to a right relationship with Himself. For this reason, He offers grace, forgiveness, spiritual salvation and eternal life to all who accept the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, and yield their lives to the One who died to pay the price for our sin (Romans 3:21-26).

DO NOT LET SIN REIGN / ROMANS 6:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 6:12

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

DO NOT LET SIN REIGN / ROMANS 6:12

Since sin has been removed from the place where it once ruled, the believer must continually resist it effort to regain control. Sin attempts to reign primarily through the desires and temptations involving the body. You must resist these desires by relying on the spiritual strength available to you through Christ. By doing so, you can say “no” (Titus 2:12) to the desires and lusts of your sinful nature that try to fulfill themselves through your body (Romans 6:12). You must refuse to give in to these desires by the things you do, see and think about so they cannot control your behavior (Romans 6:13). Instead, you must present your body and whole personality as a willing servant to God so you can fulfill His desires and purposes and do what He says is right (Romans 6:13-19).

COUNT YOURSELVES DEAD TO SIN / ROMANS 6:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 6:11

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

COUNT YOURSELVES DEAD TO SIN / ROMANS 6:11

The basic principle in Romans 6 is how the believer is united with Christ in both His death and life. If you are a true follower of Christ, you have died to sin – a fact that is reflected in several areas of your Christian experience.

  1. You died to sin in God’s view. You are considered by God to have died with Christ on the cross and to have been raised up to new life through His resurrection (Romans 6: 5-10).
  2. You died to sin when you received Christ and were spiritually “born again” by the power of the Holy spirit. As a result, you have been given Christ’s power to resist sin (Romans 6:14-18), to “put to death the misdeeds of the body” (Romans 8:13) and to live a new life in obedience to Go (Romans 6:5-14, 18, 22).
  3. You died to sin in water baptism as you identified with Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection and committed yourself to reject sin and to live for Christ (Romans 6:3-5; 6:4).

These areas of the Christian experience mark the first stage that shows your life is dead to sin and alive to God. But in order to experience ongoing victory over sin, you must consider yourself dead to sin, not only in principle but also in practice. What does it mean to be dead to sin?

  1. Consider the fact that if something is dead, it is not active or responsive. Being dead to sin means that the influences and temptations that may have one caused you to give in to sin no longer have control of you because you are unresponsive to these things.
  2. Developing this type of spiritual resistance requires a deliberate and willful choice not to feed or exercise your sinful nature. It means refusing to carelessly expose yourself to those activities and areas of life that can easily trouble or temp you.
  3. Instead, you must feed yourself spiritually and exercise godly disciplines that bring you closer to Christ and build your strength to resist Satan’s temptations and the sinful tendencies of your own human nature. These spiritual disciplines include time in prayer, God’s Word, worship, Christian companionship and acts of service.

Dying to sin means refusing to let sin have its way so you can offer yourself fully to God – spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally – for His honor and purposes (Romans 6:13).

HE DIED TO SIN ONCE FOR ALL / ROMANS 6:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 6:10
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

HE DIED TO SIN ONCE FOR ALL / ROMANS 6:10

Although Christ was sinless, He suffered from and was humiliated by the power and punishment of sin for our sake (Romans 5:21; 2 Corinthians 5:21). He endured this to restore our opportunity to have a relationship with God (1 Peter 3:18). In His death, Jesus died to the influence and effect of sin; in His resurrection, He triumphed over its power (Acts 2:24). As a result, Jesus makes His life and power available to all who accept His sin-forgiving sacrifice and yield their lives to His leadership. Those who enter this personal relationship with Jesus are united with Him in death to sin and are freed from its power (Romans 2:2, 11) so they can experience a new life as God planned (Romans 6:4-5, 10).

THE SPIRIT OF HOLINESS / ROMANS 1:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 1:4

And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

THE SPIRIT OF HOLINESS / ROMANS 1:4

The “Spirit of holiness” refers to the Holy Spirit, the third person in the divine Trinity (the one true God in three distinct, interrelated and unified persons, Mark 1:11). His holiness (purity, perfection, completeness and separation from evil) separates Him distinctly from the spirit of humanity, sin and the world, and describes both His greatest characteristic and His work (Galatians 5:16; Galatians 5:17; Galatians 5:18; Galatians 5:19; Galatians 5:20-21; Galatians 5:22-24). The Holy Spirit’s power was on and in Jesus’ life in such a way that it unmistakably confirmed His identity as God’s Son who came as the Christ (the promised Savior). This power was particularly evident through Jesus’ resurrection from the dead.

THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVES IN YOU / ROMANS 8:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 8:9

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVES IN YOU / ROMANS 8:9

All believers, from the moment they accept Jesus Christ as the Forgiver of their sins and Leader of their lives, have the Holy Spirit living in them (1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 1:13-14).

OH, THE DEPTH OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD / ROMANS 11:33-36

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 11:33-36
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

OH, THE DEPTH OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD / ROMANS 11:33-36

In these verses, Paul expresses his awe of God and reflects on the fact that God’s wisdom and judgments expressed in His plan of salvation are beyond our comprehension. What ese can be said that “To Him be the glory forever! Amen” (Romans 11:36).

ACCORDING TO THE SINFUL NATURE … THE SPIRIT / ROMANS 8:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Romans 8:5

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

ACCORDING TO THE SINFUL NATURE … THE SPIRIT / ROMANS 8:5

Paul describes two types of people: those who follow the pull of selfish desires that come from their rebellious natures and those who live by the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit.

  1. To live “according to the sinful nature” is to desire, take pleasure in, be occupied with and try to satisfy the corrupt desires of sinful human nature. Such living includes immoral behavior, selfish ambition, jealousy, hatred, drunkenness, outbursts of anger and any other attitudes or choices of behavior that do not pleas God (Galatians 5:19-20; Galatians 5:21). Obscenity, pornography, drug addiction, mental and emotional pleasure from sexual images in movies, plays, magazines, books and television have a powerful hold on countless people’s lives.
  2. To live “in accordance with the Spirit” is to pursue and submit to the Holy Spirit’s guidance and direction and to rely on His power to live as God desires. It means focusing one’s attention, thoughts, energies and values on God’s desires and purposes. This requires keeping a constant awareness of God’s presence and trusting Him to provide the help and power needed to accomplish His will (His desires, plans and intentions based on His character and purposes).
  3. It is impossible to follow the sinful nature and the Holy Spirit at the same time (Romans 8:7-8; Galatians 5:17-18).  Those who resist the Spirit’s power and assistance and rely on their own ability (Romans 8:13) are choosing to become God’s enemies (Romans 8:7; James 4:4). They can expect spiritual and eternal death (Romans 8:13). Those who make God’s desires and purposes their primary passion and concern can expect eternal life and companionship with God (Romans 8:10-11, 15-16).
