In this episode I explore the relationship between God's active and passive wrath, demonstrating how God's wrath is often manifested by Him allowing people to suffer the consequences of their sins, which is what Paul has in mind when he thrice says that God “handed them over” to sinfulness in Romans 1. Romans 1 and Romans 6, focusing especially on Paul's understanding of obedience, participation in Christ, sanctification, and the Christian life. I discuss the theological categories of “active” and “passive” obedience and consider whether these categories always fit neatly within Paul's participatory and covenantal framework. A central theme throughout the episode is the idea that Paul does not merely present salvation as a legal declaration detached from transformation, but rather as incorporation into the Messiah himself. Romans 6, in particular, emphasizes dying and rising with Christ, liberation from the reign of sin, and becoming enslaved to righteousness. I argue that Paul's theology consistently frames obedience within the context of union with Christ and the work of the Spirit rather than autonomous moral achievement. The episode also explores how Romans 1 introduces many of the themes Paul develops throughout the letter, including the “obedience of faith,” the kingship of Christ, the gospel as the fulfillment of Scripture, and the transformation of the people of God through participation in the Messiah. Along the way, I discuss tensions within Protestant theological traditions regarding sanctification, imputation, transformation, and participationist readings of Paul, while emphasizing the deeply Christological nature of Paul's gospel. Media Referenced:More work on Romans:Romans 8:29-30 Episode: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-268-christs-image-and-human-glory-a-political-reading-of-romans-829-30Christology and Romans: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-261-the-christology-of-romans-and-romans-13/Government as God's Servant in Romans 13: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-243-government-is-gods-servant-romans-13-isaiah-10-and-jeremiah-25/Why We Get Romans 13 Wrong: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-130-everyone-is-wrong-about-romans-13-including-me/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

Send us Fan MailKen Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison continue “Pondering the Bible” (Season 18, Episode 16) by finishing Romans 7:7–25 from the Revised Standard Version. They discuss Paul's teaching that the law is holy and reveals sin—especially the internal sin of coveting—while sin exploits commandments as a “base of operations,” making forbidden things more tempting. Using Prohibition and a basketball-rules illustration, they explain that God's rules are meant to prevent self-inflicted harm, not punish, and that ignorance doesn't remove consequences. Paul's anguish highlights the ongoing war between a believer's mind that delights in God's law and a flesh still captive to sin; sanctification is the lifelong process of aligning mind and behavior. They close with Paul's cry for deliverance from the “body of death,” gratitude for Jesus, and anticipation of Romans 8's “no condemnation.” 00:00 Welcome Back and Setup 01:09 Reading Romans Seven 04:03 Law Reveals Sin 08:22 Rules and Consequences 14:15 Carnal Nature and Original Sin 16:39 The Inner War Explained 22:25 Anguish and Two Laws 25:31 Body of Death and No Condemnation 30:30 Takeaways and Next EpisodeNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock

Introducing Romans The Passion and Depth 1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God – 2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name's sake. 6 And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. (Romans 1:1-6)   Imagine if you will, that you are a member of this 1st century Roman church. Rome, the beating heart of the great Roman Empire. Now imagine the sense of mystery and wonder that you are feeling at the news that the Church has received a letter from somebody called Paul. Did you know who Paul was? Paul had obviously heard of them, probably through its reputation, which had spread throughout the empire. As well as through personal connections with members of that community who had travelled or moved there. All roads led to Rome. Paul was patently aware of their faith in Jesus Christ, which was being proclaimed throughout the known world, the Roman empire. Paul commences writing this grand letter to the church of Rome! He starts by initially planting a seed and as his readers work their way through the letter the seed grows in their mind, becomes a seedling and ultimately reaches the pinnacle of its growth and becomes a mighty oak or cedar tree, towering, passionate and with deep roots. All roads in the Bible, people say, lead to this letter of Romans: a book of passion and depth. Perhaps a new definition of Christian joy – passionate action and depth of thought, working together radiating Jesus Christ and his gospel. Click or tap here to save this as an audio mp3 file

This message explores what is perhaps the single most compelling verse in all of Romans:  Romans 5:10.  It is the Gospel in a Nutshell. It also contains the secret of the Christian life.  Last week I spoke of one of my heroes, Pastor Ray Stedman.  My English hero was a man called Major Ian Thomas. His life and message deeply impacted me as a boy of 10, 11 and 12.  He wrote a masterpiece of a book entitled "The Saving Life of Christ," which is the second most impactful book I have ever read, second only to the Bible!  That book's title refers to Romans 5:10.  Listen and learn about the TRIUMPH of the Gospel of God, the saving life of Christ!!visit us at: conejochurch.com

Friends of the Rosary,In today's Gospel (Luke 13:1-9), the Lord Jesus gives us the parable of a fig tree that bears no fruit.This tree symbolizes the moral person who bears no spiritual fruit.Christ is the vine, and we are the branches, meaning we are—or should be—conduits of divine grace into the world. We are meant to bring the fruits of charity and love and forgiveness.However, as St. Paul explains today in his letter to the Romans (Romans 8:1-11), "those who live according to the flesh," while those living in the spirit are with God."The concern of the flesh is death,but the concern of the spirit is life and peace.For the concern of the flesh is hostility toward God;it does not submit to the law of God, nor can it;and those who are in the flesh cannot please God."As we belong to Christ, let's acknowledge that the Spirit of God dwells within us.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
