Life Applications and Lessons from the Book of Romans (Vol. 67)
I started reading the Book of Romans this past week. Although it is very good, parts of it are a little bit harder to grasp and understand than some of the other books of the Bible. However, the Lord continues to share life applications and lessons through His Word.
Let’s take a look at some of these lessons, and see how we can apply them to our lives as we continue with the Book of Romans.
Life Applications and Lessons – Romans
Romans 1:17
- Con you imagine if when once we came to trust the Lord, He immediately showed us everything we needed to change in our lives? It would be so overwhelming that we would probably shut down and do nothing.
- Once we come to know Him, we do not become perfect. We learn and grow in our faith along the way.
- He shows us what to change as we grow in our faith. “from faith to faith”
Romans 2:13
- Imagine telling your kids or employees to do something, and they choose not to do it. Now imagine that they argue that they are right in doing so because they “heard” what you said to do. There is no logic in that!
- We need to be doers of the Word and not just hearers.
Romans 4:17
- Just like with the creation of the world, there was nothing and He spoke it into existence.
- He can do the same thing with our difficult situations and needs.
Romans 5:5
Accept all the love He pours into our hearts to the point that it overflows and spills onto other people!
Romans 7:22-23
- This is a case of Spiritual vs. Physical.
- This is an on-going war that we will always face while we are in these mortal bodies. We need to make sure we are strengthening the spiritual side and readying it for battle.
- The battle begins in the mind, so guard it always! Do not allow unwholesome things in there, because they will grow.

Gah I love this series so much! You always offer such a relatable way of looking at things, Susan. It truly offers an invitation for us to examine our lives and make appropriate changes while at the same time reminding us He will always be patient with our growth. Big hugs, CoCo
You are so right on His patience, and I am so glad! Lots of room for growth over here! I am so glad you enjoy these. I love the way He shares these things. It just makes it fun to learn and share.
