“He who believes in the Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) has eternal life (the Zoe Life); but he who does not obey the (command to believe in the) Son will not see (the Zoe) life, but the wrath of God abides 
on him.”
 
But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own (private) interpretation,//for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved (carried along) by the(influence of God the) Holy Spirit spoke (directly) from (the exact thinking of THE) God (the Lord Jesus Christ).
 
Jesus said to him (Thomas), “I am the way, and (I am) the truth, and (I am) the (Zoe) life; no one comes to the Father but through (believing in) Me.
 
 

TODAY’S STUDY

Romans Chapter 1 -

Prayer is an Indicator of Privilege and Relationship 

 
What then shall we say (face-to face) to these things (all the blessings of Romans 8:26-30)?  If (1) God is for us (and He is), who is against us?
 
He (God the Father) who did not spare His own Son (the Lord Jesus Christ), but delivered Him over (as a substitute) for us all, how will He (God the Father) not also with (our union with) Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) freely give us (the) all things?
 
“And all things you ask in prayer, BELIEVING, you will receive.”
 
His divine power has granted to us (believers in Christ) everything pertaining to (the Zoe) life and godliness (the functioning of the Christian Way of Life), through the true knowledge of Him (as a Person we’re in relationship with) who called us by His own glory and excellence.
 
But I (Paul) say, (keep on) walk(ing) by (means of) the (influence of the Person of the indwelling God the Holy) Spirit, and you will (absolutely) not (NEVER) carry out the desire of the flesh.
 
I (Satan) will make myself like the Most High.
 
For the flesh sets its desire (in rebellion) against the (influence of the) Spirit, and the Spirit (sets His desire) against the (influence of the dead) flesh; for these are in opposition to one another…
 
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident…
 
For as in Adam all die (spiritually)…
 
But if (1) you (believers in Christ) are led by the (indwelling) Spirit (and you are), you are not under the (influence of the Mosaic) Law.
 
Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in (union with) Christ Jesus.
 
For the law of (the indwelling God) the (Holy) Spirit (and the law) of (the Zoe) life in (union with) Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of (the) sin (nature) and (the law) of (spiritual) death.
 
“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in(dwelling) me; and the (Zoe) life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me (unconditionally) and (who) gave Himself up (as a substitute) for me.”
 
“I do not nullify the grace of God, for if (just for the sake of argument we say) righteousness comes through (obedience to) the (Mosaic) Law (even though it doesn’t), then Christ died needlessly.”
 
For He (God the Father) rescued us (believers in Christ) from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son (the Lord Jesus Christ),//in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (a complete pardon…a remission) 
 
…(believers in Christ)…do not walk (have a lifestyle) according to the (influence of the) flesh but (believers have a lifestyle) according to the (influence of the indwelling God the Holy) Spirit.
 
For those who are according to the (influence of the) flesh (unbelievers) set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the (influence of the indwelling God the Holy) Spirit, (set their minds on) the things of the Spirit.
 
For the mind (that is) set on the flesh (the mind of unbelievers) is (set on) death (the dead things), but the mind set on (the indwelling God) the (Holy) Spirit is (set on the Zoe) life and (and is set on) peace…
 
…because the mind set on the flesh (unbelievers) is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so…
 
…and those who are in the flesh (unbelievers) cannot please God.
 
However, you (believers in Christ) are not in the flesh but (you believers in Christ are) in the Spirit, if (1) indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you (and it does). But if anyone does not have the (indwelling God the Holy) Spirit of Christ (unbelievers), he (that person) does not belong to Him (Christ…is not a believer).
 
If (1) Christ is in(dwelling) you (and He is if you are a believer in Christ), though the body is dead because of (the indwelling) sin (nature which was crucified at the Cross), yet the (human) spirit is alive because of (possessing absolute) righteousness.
 
But if (1) the Spirit of Him (God the Holy Spirit) who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you (and it does), He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give (the Zoe) life (the resurrection life) to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
 
So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the (influence of the) flesh (“in the flesh”) —
 
…for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die (the second death…the Lake of Fire); but if (1) (you are living) by the (influence of the indwelling) Spirit (which you do,) you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live (by means of the power of the Spirit).
 
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God (believers in Christ), these are sons of God.
 
For you (believers in Christ) have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
 
The Spirit Himself testifies (along) with our spirit that we are children of God…
 
…and if (we are) children (of God, and we are), (we are) heirs also, heirs of God (the Father) and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
 
Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.//In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
 
The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed
 
Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.
