Cannot say thank you enough for being patient with those of us who have sat under bad teaching. Both my mom and dad have been word of faith pastors my whole life. I was saved out of the church a few years ago and have been devouring teaching like this. I started this study back in April and hope to be caught up with y’all by the end of summer! Praying for you all!
Comment about Ligonier.....So I didn't go to the Ligonier Conference because I thought they (teachers and attendees) were all too smart for me. Nice to know it is all Doctors haha. I am a 60-year-old uneducated hairstylist. I had (smart educated) friends go to Ligonier. After several years, with their encouragement, I went. I met you, Steve. Now I listen to you as well as others. :) I follow what you say here as well as at Ligonier. Maybe God just gives me the grace to understand. I'm thankful for this teaching.
This was an excellent video and really helped me to understand Romans 6. I also noticed in the LSB that Romans 6:22 uses the word "sanctification" instead of Holiness. That really cleared up some things in my mind.
The feeding of the Word is really a great blessing for me... the depth of study inspires me to know more about Him, passionately!! Thank you so much for this 🥺 I pray we will have this in depth Bible study in our church. But praise God for making this available online! Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭 💕
Beautiful Bible Study !!! Trank you so much DR Lawson!! Your Bible Teachings are so Eye Opening and so encouraging!!! The Young man on the right side of Dr.Lawson should not have jawned without covering his Face with his Hand. This is a very disrecspectful behaviour.
Watching from Malaysia with great appreciation for Dr Steven Lawson's manner of teaching and praying that God will continue to bless him, his family,his church, his ministry and all like me who listen to him.
GRACE IN SIN! GOD FORBID! As I fliiped through my bible, I came across a very, very interesting part of the scripture although all are important. Looking at the book of Romans 6:1-6, I discovered a Professor of Theology might want to explain it through KNOWLEDGE (FILTHY) and will get it very, very WRONG(very, very possible). Yes, An Apostle(Paul) who was once a MURDERER (Mysteries of Mysteries) was ARRESTED by CHRIST himself and JESUS CHRIST forgave him all his sins and he was made WHOLE. Looking at the first verse, "What shall we say then? The Apostle was asking a very, very mysterious question which no one is allowed to answer unless one who is given the GRACE. Yes, a man may ask a question and may not require an answer unless one is given the grace to answer such a question. Now, the Apostle knew that he was once LOST(SINNER/ MURDERER) but now he is FOUND, not just found but SAVED. Yes, there is a very, very great difference between being found and saved. A Professor quickly looked at me and told me to say the difference. Yes, Professor, the difference between found and saved is in GRACE! How? Yes, a man that was a one time smoker and was arrested by God and later goes back to smoking cannot be said to be FOUND seeing he was FOUND at the point of smoking and was restored back to LIFE but a man that was a one time smoker gave his life willingly and later backslide although not to smoking again but to FORNICATION would truly be said to be FOUND. Now for a man that was a one time smoker and later backslides, he has lost his SALVATION only if he dies in SIN(DEATH). Now provided that man is LIVING, his SALVATION is almost secured but if he does not allow Christ again into his LIFE, he has lost his salvation. Now, a pastor who preaches, once saved is forever saved should be tied by the brethren and forty strokes save one be administered upon his buttocks after which, he(Pastor, Bishop, Evangelist, Apostle, Deacon, etc) should be relieved of his TITLE (false of false). Now, talking about the book of Romans 6 Vs 1, which says, What shall we say then? Shall we continue IN SIN, that grace may abound? A man of knowledge (filthy) may want to use the bible and confuse his fellowers by making them believe that it is not CONDUCT. Yes, he may be very, very CORRECT and he is very, very WRONG. Yes! We will know why such a man is very, very WRONG. Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? How can grace abound(many) where SIN does not exist and how can sin abound where men are still carrying the BODY of the SPIRIT. Okay, Sin can only abound towards a man with the BODY of FLESH and the body of FLESH has the WORKS of the FLESH (Galatians 5: 19-21) but the BODY of the FLESH was Destroyed on the CROSS of CALVARY by the Son of Man(Jesus), hence, anybody that comes to him(Christ), he(Jesus Christ) will destroy the BODY of the FLESH and in exchange give the person the BODY of the SPIRIT (Galatians 5: 22-24). Now a man that has given his LIFE to Christ cannot CLAIM to be free from TEMPTATION and as such even the greatest APOSTLE on earth is not free from TEMPTATION. Hence, when a man that has the BODY of the SPIRIT (Galatians 2:20) is TEMPTED, there is AMPLE Grace(2 Corinthians 12:9) available for such a man to OVERCOME SIN(devil) but the" man in question is not spirit but a man having flesh and blood", hence he has "WILL", and the devil has to TEMPT him through his" will". Now this is what happens, if the "WILL" of the man to do evil is more than the GRACE released, the man(BORN AGAIN) will TRULY FALL into that SIN. It is happening everyday under the surface of the sun and God is truly not happy about that. Yes, the first shall be last and the last first. Yes, a great man of God who has served(CONDUCT) God faithfully for many years only to die at the LAST MOMENT out of CARELESSNESS. Some never told their members on the need to dress in a only way into church and at last the back blast(fornication) will hit the man. Verse 2, says God forbid. Apostle Paul had a STRONG BELIEF that once a man gives his life to God NOTHING of this world should ENTICE him away from God but that is his BELIEF and it worked for him till the end. Yet that is not always the case with most BELIEVERS. Even his fellow Apostle called DEMAS(2 Timothy 4:10) forsook him. Hence, no man is beyond TEMPTATION. And also in verse 2, it says, How shall we, that are dead to sin , live any longer there in. Looking at a Professor, I discovered if I explain this by the POWER of the HOLY GHOST, he will be SHOCKED (holy)! Yes, Professor, do you know what that means? TO BE DEAD TO SIN? He quickly gave his own meaning from his knowledge (filthy)! Yes, thou doest well but here is the meaning: DEAD TO SIN A man(Christ) told his Disciples "DO THESE IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME" and another man takes it to mean a CONTINUAL THING! Now this is what is means, Christ had to take bread(body- flesh, sin) gave thanks and gave it to his disciples to eat and also took wine(BLOOD- SIN), gave thanks and gave it to his disciples. Now if a man opens the bible, he will truly think that act should be a continual thing but in ACTUAL SENSE not!!! Yes, how can a man(Christ) give his disciples his body(flesh, containing the works of the flesh) and his blood(sin) and Immediately they drank, their bodies also became Christ's and as he(Christ) went to the CROSS and DESTROYED the WORKS of the FLESH, that of his disciples that is also containing the flesh(bread, sin) and blood ( sin) was also DESTROYED and in exchange he(Christ) gave them the BODY of the SPIRIT and another man on earth will now continue taking what was destroyed(flesh-sinful and BLOOD- sinful). Now once a man(smoker, drunkard, fornicator, adulterer, mastubator, porn watchers, ) gives his life to Christ, the BODY of the FLESH is DESTOYED and the BODY of the SPIRIT is given in exchange. The person becomes DEAD to SIN although could still be TEMPTED by the devil to revive the SENSE of the FLESH that was DESTOYED. Now if a man use his knowledge that understand this, he will get it very, very WRONG, but through WISDOM. Verse 3, was talking about the BAPTISM through the DEATH and RESURRECTION of Christ. Now if I ask a question, man may not be able to answer such a question! What is the question? What is the question? Yes, a man was a drunkard and died in sin and another man was a smoker and later gave his life to God. Why did God allow such a smoker to die in sin and gave his brother (drunkard) grace to give his life to him. Is God partial? If any man dare answers this question then God is no longer God! Yes, the writer is not an ordinary human being and he is not the one writing but a being(Holy) through him. Now God cannot be said to be PARTIAL but before the devil over his children (humanity), God is very, very PARTIAL! Why? Why? Yes, the devil knows that God is very, very PARTIAL over his children because a man will do what the angel of death would have SLAIN him but because of the MERCIES of God, he will have mercy. A man stabbed a pregnant woman and remove the baby from her womb and stabbed the baby to death, at that point, angel of death was supposed to be despatched to KILL the man IMMEDIATELY but because of the MERCY of God, he may still want to give such a one opportunity to still make it up to him(God). Now talking about the BAPTISM through death and resurrection, man may be confused! Yes, a man was a drunkard and gave his LIFE to Christ, if the man is still ALIVE then he is a SINNER! How? I mean if the man is still alive(sin, fornication, falsification of nature- false eyelashes, false skin- bleaching, false genital- transgender, false hair, false finger nails etc) but if the man is dead(to the world - detesting what he once loved, detesting the worldly music he onces loved, detesting fornication, smoking, alcoholism, masturbation, detesting falsification of nature etc). Now can a man that says he is dead be still alive( LOVING WORLDLINESS - filthiness) if he(she) is not a LAIR. Finally verse 6, is where CONDUCT(SERVANT) comes to PLAY and not NATURE. Yes, a servant is one who is BOUGHT OR PAID especially in the PAST to do one thing or the other for the MASTER(EITHER GOD (Born again) or the devil (SINNER). Yes, one cannot be a servant by NATURE ONLY but by CONDUCT(ACT). A man that was once a servant(CONDUCT) unto RIGHTEOUSNESS, once he begins to BACKSLIDE, he will finally become a servant(CONDUCT) unto SIN. It is finished! It is finished!
