| 1 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 01) Introduction | 4301 | Ed gives an introduction to Romans as a whole, a book said by Martin Luther to be "the masterpiece of the New Testament". As the very first book of the explanation books (epistles), it contains "all of the eggs in one basket". Romans emphasizes a total salvation (past, present and future) not as a plan but the Person of Jesus Christ. | Ed Miller | Romans_01Intro.mp3 | Romans | ||||||
| 2 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 02) Chapter 1:1-17 The Gospel | 4301 | The opening verses of the book of Romans present Christ as three-fold salvation and the Apostle Paul as a complete Christian. Jesus Christ is not in the Gospel; He is the Gospel. A complete Christian is a bondservant of Jesus Christ, lives by simple, childlike faith, and ministers to all people. | Ed Miller | Romans_02Chap01_1-17.mp3 | Romans 1:1-17 | ||||||
| 3 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 03) Chapters 1:18-3:21 The Bad News | 4301 | Man cannot appreciate Christ as salvation until he first sees his need--depraved man is God's picture of sin abounding. Sin is the measure of how far man has fallen below God. How does God show mercy and kindness to the heathen? | Ed Miller | Romans_03Chap01_03.mp3 | Romans 1:18-3:21 | ||||||
| 4 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 04) Chapters 2-3 The Good News for the Bad News | 4301 | Before God can thrill us with Christ as our justification, sanctification and glorification, He must show us the dark side--our need (chapter 2). How a person is justified (3:21-31) is one of the most strategic passages in the Bible. Ed unpacks a wealth of truth from this "perfect spot to see the most of God"--at the cross! | Ed Miller | Romans_04Chap02_03.mp3 | Romans 2 - 3 | ||||||
| 5 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 05) Chapter 3:21-31 The Ground of Justification | 4301 | The blood of Jesus is a just and perfect ground for complete acceptance before God. All law-keeping is condemned by God. Adam's sin was imputed to you; your sin was imputed to Christ; and Christ's righteousness was imputed to you! | Ed Miller | Romans_05Chap03.mp3 | Romans 3:21-31 | ||||||
| 6 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 06) Chapter 4 Faith | 4301 | Chapter 4 described the instrument by which we experience Christ our justification--faith. Ed labors to show from Romans what faith is not, such as something that has its own intrinsic value. Faith is the "hand" of the heart, centered upon one Object, the Lord Jesus Christ. Abraham becomes the Old Testament example that faith is receiving the revelation of God. | Ed Miller | Romans_06Chap04.mp3 | Romans 4 | ||||||
| 7 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 07) Chapter 5:1-11 | 4301 | God's love is beyond all human example! Hope in the New Testament is what gives fixity to the Christian. Everything that's happening in your life is to show you Jesus from the Bible or getting you ready to see Him. | Ed Miller | Romans_07Chap05.mp3 | Romans 5:1-11 | ||||||
| 8 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 08) Chapter 5:12-21 | 4301 | Ed shares the principle of universal infant salvation from these passages that press home the first and Last Adam as representatives of the whole human race. Christ brings you beyond where Adam was before the Fall. Now God sees us not as individuals but sees us in Christ! | Ed Miller | Romans_08Chap05.mp3 | Romans 5:12-21 | ||||||
| 9 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 09) Chapter 6 through 8 Overview | 4301 | Ed labors to highlight the major approaches commentators having taken for Romans 6 to 8 in order to draw attention to the common denominator approach: victory is a Person--Christ Jesus. The more Jesus fills up the landscape of my life, the more I am free from sin. Every time God shows you a new revelation of Christ, let your heart just say, "Yes, I want that." | Ed Miller | Romans_09Chap06_08Overview.mp3 | Romans 6 - 8 | ||||||
| 10 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 10) Chapter 6:1 - 7:6 Victory | 4301 | Victory flows out of romance: loving Jesus. Christ, who has the victory, has already set you free! We don't have to worry about sin for Jesus our substitute has defeated sin; now we can get to the business of knowing God. | Ed Miller | Romans_10Chap0607.mp3 | Romans 6:1 - 7:6 | ||||||
| 11 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 11) Chapter 6:13-23 | 4301 | Sanctification is hindered by antinomianism (doing nothing) and legalism (doing everything). A legalist depends upon spiritual activity (quiet time, prayer, witnessing, etc.) to stay spiritual, but new covenant obedience is radically different in its goal, motive and power. Just behold the Lord Jesus Christ and life takes care of itself. | Ed Miller | Romans_11Chap06_13-23.mp3 | Romans 6:13-23 | ||||||
| 12 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 12) Chapter 7 | 4301 | The law is both reveals sin and evokes the power of sin. Ed addresses the different approaches that influence the one who loves God, hates sin, and is unable to perform. We are like King Saul who needed another life--the heavenly David--to come in with the heavenly "harp" (the Holy Spirit of chapter 8). | Ed Miller | Romans_12Chap07.mp3 | Romans 7 | ||||||
| 13 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 13) Chapter 8:1-11 The Holy Spirit | 4301 | Chapter 8 introduces us into a new step in the victory: the Holy Spirit. God puts into man a new law of spiritual genetics, a fixed principle by which the child bears the resemblance of the Parent. Contrasted with the futility of law-keeping in chapter 7, walking in the Spirit becomes the habit of our lives! | Ed Miller | Romans_13Chap08_1-11.mp3 | Romans 8:1-11 | ||||||
| 14 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 14) Chapter 8:12-17 | 4301 | How will we be holy? By the Spirit. There will be a great moral likeness to God because His seed is in my heart. God Himself is the inheritance, the Christian's portion! | Ed Miller | Romans_14Chap08_12-17.mp3 | Romans 8:12-17 | ||||||
| 15 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 15) Chapter 8:18-27 | 4301 | Why does creation groan? The groaning of the Christian is not one of murmuring or discontentment. The good news of Romans 7 and 8 is that the Christian need not worry about sin and the will of God. | Ed Miller | Romans_15Chap08_18-27.mp3 | Romans 8:18-27 | ||||||
| 16 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 16) Chapter 8:34-39 | 4301 | Since Christ is your sanctification, don't worry about anything, these last verses of chapter 8 proclaim! The more you embrace a full Savior, the more His electing love dawns on you. When God the Father gave His Son, He gave everything. | Ed Miller | Romans_16Chap08_34-39.mp3 | Romans 8:34-39 | ||||||
| 17 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 17) Chapters 9 - 11 | 4301 | Ed presents a Christ-centered approach to perhaps the most controversial three chapters of the Bible: Romans 9 through 11. A good approach factors in mystery here that transcends human reason and that God's sovereignty is in light of all of His other attributes. A right approach to this section should end as Paul did--in adoring worship! | Ed Miller | Romans_17Chap09_11Overview.mp3 | Romans 9 - 11 | ||||||
| 18 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 18) Chapter 9 | 4301 | Romans 9 underscores three great truths: the sovereignty of God as the foundation of world redemption, the channel of redemption as one people in Old and New Testament, and the climax being the glory of God in all the earth. Paul uses three illustrations to show God always intended a spiritual seed (i.e., miraculous birth of Isaac) and that it's not of works (i.e., selection of Jacob over Esau). God uses "Pharaohs" to open people's eyes to see more of Himself. | Ed Miller | Romans_18Chap09.mp3 | Romans 9 | ||||||
| 19 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 19) Chapters 10 - 11 | 4301 | Romans 10 shows that even in Moses' day that obeying God was to be done out of simple faith in Christ; usurping the work of Christ comes when we try to do it ourselves. Israel refused to listen to creation and human instruments, but Israel's fall is not total and not final. Ed goes into the background of the wild olive and domenstic olive tree analogy to prove that God never cuts off those who come to Him by simple faith. | Ed Miller | Romans_19Chap10_11.mp3 | Romans 9:30 - 11:24 | ||||||

| 21 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 21) Chapter 12:1-2 | 4301 | Chapters 12-16 highlights what Christ does through us, expressed as the Christian's relationship to every part of life. God uses all of the relationships of life as tests of our relationship to God. Romans 12:1-2 teach that surrender is a heart response to the mercies of God (chapters 1-11). | Ed Miller | Romans_21Chap12_1-2.mp3 | Romans 12:1-2 | ||||||
| 22 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | Romans | (Romans 22) Chapter 12:3-8 | 4301 | Christians are unique in their gifts but alike in their fruit. The common life and common will centered in the Lord Jesus is what beautifies the body of Christ with all its diversity. Disharmony among believers only comes when one tries to live a life of their own. | Ed Miller | Romans_22Chap12_3-8.mp3 | Romans 12:3-8 | ||||||
