In conclusion, Paul teachings help us to understand how God views sin and its consequences. His message also reveals God’s righteousness and forgiveness through Christ. Our natural world, our human

In chapter 1, Paul writes about his sufferings and how they are helping the progress of the gospel. Chapter 2 is about the benefits of Christian faith, “mind of Christ”, and how Jesus gave up his glory so he could rescue mankind, and save us of our sins. Chapter 3 Paul again explains the benefits of Christianity and prompts the church to keep up with the Gospel. In the last chapter Paul promotes Christians to rejoice in the lord by praying and giving thanks to God. “My God shall supply all your needs.”

Once the nature of Adam’s sin is understood to be his refusal to suffer out of love

So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?" (Romans 7:15-24) The solution to this problem is stated by Paul in these terms: "For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." (Romans 8:3-4) "Though the New Testament doctrine of original sin is most clearly expressed by Paul, it is also implicit in the teachings of Jesus: for example in such words as: "And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." (Mark 10:18) and "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for

A central point of Paul’s claim was that Jesus was resurrected into heaven and was himself divine.

Christian ought to examine himself and seek to bear his own sins. As motivation to do good, Paul

The nature of God, the deity, is shown here as righteous, and it is His actions which are central to the entire message Paul is proclaiming. “The righteousness of God” is shown in the way he has chosen to justify humans in spite of the fact that all humans have sinned. Jesus

Paul writes to the Ephesians: I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints.

In conclusion: Whatever turmoil may come in life, the love of Christ has always survived all oppositions and all trials cannot or never will separate God’s love from

But that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sin.” Because, God

Paul, having figuratively died and rose again with Christ, demonstrates a profound change in his outlook. Armed with a transformed mindset, the once vitriolic man who had been possessed by the demonic “Us vs. Them” mentality, goes on to champion unity and equality -- “In Christ’s family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal” (Gal. 3:28; The Message). He then implores fellow Christians to defy conformity, exhorting them to be transformed by gauging their values against the credo that holds ultimate significance -- the will of God, which Micah defines as acting justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with God (Rom 12:2; Micah 6:8).

Paul counsels and admonishes all that the only way to conquer the flesh is to yield to the Spirit, give ear to and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit as He ministers to our Spirit. By this we are enabled to walk by the Spirit, thus live by the spirit. You see when we make our decisions and choices according to the Holy Spirit’s guidance, and act with the spiritual power that the Spirit supplies overcomes the desires of the flesh. The bodily cravings and the desires of fallen human nature become led by the Spirit and no longer free to do as it wills, but as the Spirit wills. [The Greek verb here implies there is an active, personal involvement by the Holy Spirit in guiding Christian’s lives. Christ said He would sent the Comforter (the Holy Spirit) in His place to remind us of all things He taught us and teach us in all things. The present tense (“if you are being led . . .”) indicates the Spirit’s ongoing activity.] The Spirit’s active presence in believers’ lives shows that they are no longer under the pre-Christian system of the law, (see John 3:2, 5, 14; 4:6) Galatians 5: 19-21 outlines the works of the flesh which are: (Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings) and without the ongoing transforming work of the Holy Spirit, the cravings and the desires of fallen human nature would follow its own wicked sinful desires and

“For” the “ei” conjunction shows the state of mind that is necessary when a believer seeks to bear a burden of the sinning brother in verses 1 and 2. If a man thinks of himself to be something” (morally above reproach) when he is nothing (he also susceptible to sin at times), he deceives himself." The Galatians, being Jews, have the notion that they are better than others and this notion making them look to the law instead of grace (compare with 1 Cor. 3:6-8). In Philippians 2:3-4b-4, Paul writes with the same idea – “In lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own

But God restored us to himself through his love and mercy and saved us with his grace (v. 4-7).

In verse 4 Paul talks about how before we came to know Christ, we were continually defeated by sin. "When we came to know Him and to receive the indwelling Holy Spirit, we were able to attain a standard we could
