Lesson 5 - Jesus Christ the Second Adam - In the Word with Michele Telfer

In the Word with Michele Telfer

Lesson 5 - Jesus Christ the Second Adam

Romans 5, Romans 6:1–7

Romans 5:1-6:7 Adam’s choice led to mankind's death and separation from God, but Christ’s decision to obey opened up the way for our reconciliation with the Father and eternal life in His presence!

Lesson 1 - Not Ashamed of the Gospel

Romans 1:1–17

Romans 1:1-17 Paul was speaking at a very evil time in history it was not easy for Christians and yet he revealed in Romans 1 that he was “not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.” God’s offer of salvation that comes by faith in Christ’s sacrifice has the power to truly transform our lives!

Lesson 2 - How the Universe Works

Romans 1:18–32

Romans 1:18-32 Creation reveals there is an order to the universe, a set of “rules” by which things operate that we ignore at our own loss or peril. For example, disregard the law of gravity and see how quickly you fall. There is a moral order built into the universe as well, which God made known through His dealings with Israel and through His messengers, the prophets. Living according to God’s moral order results in peace and blessing; but ignoring it will ultimately lead to shame, degradation and spiritual ruin.

Lesson 3 - True Faith is Proved by How We Live!

Romans 3:1–8, Romans 2

Romans 2:1-3:8 Paul’s hope was that coming face to face with their great need and their sinfulness, would push the Jews toward Christ and repentance as their only hope for salvation. It was his greatest desire for them…and also mine for you today!
