Today’s Warning Against Others blog discusses Romans almost as a whole. There are some verses which I will post at the end of this blog which, if you are following along in your Bibles, will be found in Chapter 16 of this book. However, I want to discuss with you the many things which Paul warns against in this book:
- Pride and Arrogance
- Being Critical of other believers’ convictions and causing someone to slander that which you know to be good
- Being bound under the law instead of knowing that God’s grace has already conquered you. It is the grace of God which empowers you to fulfill the law (Romans 6:14).
- False Teaching
“And now, dear brothers and sisters, I’d like to give one final word of caution: Watch out for those who cause divisions and offenses among you. When they antagonize you by speaking of things that are contrary to the teachings that you’ve received, don’t be caught in their snare! For people like this are not truly serving the Lord, our Messiah, but are being driven by their own desires for a following. Utilizing their smooth words and well-rehearsed blessings, they seek to deceive the hearts of innocent ones. I’m so happy when I think of you, because everyone knows the testimony of your deep commitment of faith. So I want you to become scholars of all that is good and beautiful, and stay pure and innocent when it comes to evil. And the God of peace will swiftly pound Satan to a pulp under your feet! And the wonderful favor of our Lord Jesus will surround you.”
