Walking In Newness Of Life

Week Four

Trusting God's Grace And Goodness

Day Twenty-Two

[Remember to always begin your Bible study with prayer.]

1. Begin today by reading carefully Romans 7:14-25. Paul presents an excellent picture of the condition of a person without the benefits of Christ. What impresses you about this text? Can you relate to this condition?

2. The picture we see in this text is a picture of the helplessness we all experience in our efforts to obtain salvation without Christ. We simply cannot do it because we do not have the blessing of forgiveness. Forgiveness is the key to our Christian life. Without forgiveness we cannot make it. This is what it means in Romans when it states we are to be justified by faith. Our salvation is not based on living a perfect life, but in our unwavering faith in Christ for forgiveness.

3. Now read Romans 8:1-2. Here is a good description of a life in Christ. Write down what this means to you. Also notice that there is a condition in obtaining this blessing. Write this down also.

** Thanking God in prayer for the grace He has given us should be a central part of your prayer life.
