Choice 1: Romans 12-16. Live as Saints Should Live
1. Review Romans 13:11 and look for what is “nearer.” Read Ezekiel 3:20; Doctrine and Covenants 14:7; and explain in writing what we must continue doing to work out our salvation.
Keeping the commandments of God and enduring to the end will help us to have everlasting life. In Ezekiel it explains that we need to walk in righteousness so that when we run into temptation, it won't hurt us.
2. In Romans 12-13 Paul gave much counsel that leads to salvation. Read each of the following verses and list what Paul taught would help lead to salvation:
Romans 12:1-- Present our bodies a living sacrifice acceptable by God
Romans 12:2-- Transform your mind and be renewed
Romans 12:9-- Adhor that which is evil and clean to that which is good
Romans 12:13-- Give to others in times of need
Romans 12:16-- Don't think you are better than others
Romans 12:21-- Overcome the evil things with good
Romans 13:1-- Be obedient unto Christ
Romans 13:3-- Make sure you are always doing your best and not judging
others of their mistakes.
Romans 13:8-- Love one another
Romans 13:9-- Follow the commandments of God
3. Review Romans 14:1-13; 15:1-3. Then write answers to the following questions:
o What cautions did Paul give about judging?
He cautioned us against unrighteous judgement against one another. We don't know the struggles of others around us and if we judge them unrighteously then we can be a burden to them.
o People may have different opinions and practices, but what is most important to remember?
That we are all saints and we need to love each other always
o What additional insight comes from reading Doctrine and Covenants 38:25-27?
We all come from the same God and it is not our place to judge others around us. We are to leave that up to our maker and do the best we can on this earth to help others around us.
4. Review Romans 15:25-26, 31; 16:2, 15. Write the term Paul frequently used to refer to members of the Church in his day.
The Saints
