Romans 16 – Day 65
Memorize: Salutations given by Paul Romans 16 Key Verses: 5, 16, 17, Paul was a man who made many connections with people. Although he had never been to Rome, he knew many prominent Christians there. This is more than “name dropping.” Paul has a genuine interest in them, and in their well-being. Some even riskedContinue reading “Romans 16 – Day 65”
Day 64
Memorize: Unity within the church Romans 15 Key Verses: 1, 4, 7, 15, 20, 26, It is hard not living a selfish life.

Day 63
Memorize: Strong and weak brethren Romans 14 Key Verses: 1, 4, 5, 14, 17, 19, 21, 22 Not everyone will understand the completeness of grace.

Day 62
Memorize: Established authorities of God Romans 13 Key Verses: 1, 3, 7, 10, 14 Your government has been put there by God! Paul says this twice in verse one.

Memorize: Fullness of the Gentiles Romans 11 Key Verses: 5, 11, 14, 20, 25, 32 Down through history there has always been a group of people, a remnant, who still walked with God.

Memorize: Opportunity for Jews’ salvation Romans 10 Key Verses: 1, 4, 9-10, 17, Paul’s beginning statement is very timely in reference to today’s worldview that every religion leads to the same destination, so stop evangelizing.

Day 58
Memorize: Love shown for Israel Romans 9 Key Verses: 3, 13, 18, 30-31 Paul has great anguish as he thinks about his earthly relatives, the Jews.
