Friendship Bible Church

Paul's concluding thoughts as he finished out the letter to the Romans.

The only hope for America or anybody, is the gospel.

The goal is the soul

The only hope that overcomes the waiting grave and hell that awaits on the other side, is belief in the empty grave of Christ, and acceptance of the loving Savior Who emptied it of all its power.

The exercise of our liberty in Christ must take a backseat to our concern for the welfare and growth of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Whether or not we agree with one another as Christians, we are to accept each other as brothers and sisters in Christ, for we are all on the same team, and we all answer to the same Master.

We are running out of time to serve the Lord, and need to get busy for Christ now.

Christians should submit to authority, except when it would violate our submission to God.

The Christian response to being wronged is not vengeance, but rather trusting God, seeking peace, and reacting with kindness.

In spite of how things might look, God is still with us, and always will be.

In this section Paul lists several characteristics of the Christian's life... the life that is presented to God as a living sacrifice.

You are gifted and should be using that giftedness in and for your local church.

Christians are to avoid worldly thinking and lifestyles, and allow themselves to be transformed by God's will and Word.

If Jesus Christ be God, and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.

Our God is a promise keeping God. He always keeps His word.

Three things are needed if we would be saved - hearing, believing, and confessing.

We should weep over and pray for the lost.

No one and no thing can ever separate the Christian from Christ.
