ROMANS Study Guide

…Sex outside of marriage …doing shameful things (uncontrolled lust) …Strife (contentious, fighting) …Jealousy or envy (wanting what others have)

(3) “ Put on Christ” … means to activate what you have

in Christ and stop activating the flesh (this goes

back to Rom.6:13,16… who do we choose to yield

our minds and bodies to)

…don’t make pr ovision (planning ahead) for the fleshes (evil) desires to be met. …This is losing the battle of our mind (Prov.23:7 (kjv); Rom.8:5-7; 2Cor.10:3-5)

Conclusion: Paul has been specifically dealing with the corporate testimony of the Church in

being good citizens of both the Kingdom of God and of the Kingdoms of this World. Paul then shifts

to dealing with our need to have godly love for each other and for those outside the church. The time

is short, the coming of the Lord is not far off. We must choose as God’s people to live the Life of

Christ in the world and not the self- indulging life of the world… so that our witness will be powerful

and effective. This is how an awakened - spirit led believer lives.
