PFHL Course 200-- Basic Christianity– A Study Guide of Romans 8 & 12
(by Bill Stevenson)
 Directions:First try to determine what the different way of formatting Scripture in this study isteaching. Why the indenting? Why the underlining and bold font usage? Thenanswer the questions for Romans 8. An essay is required for relating to Romans12. This assignment is worth 4 units, so write at least 6 quality pages.
1.What is the context of the great promise in Romans 8:1?2.What apparently did the Christians in Rome need to be assured of?
 Romans 81
 
There is
 
therefore
 
now
 
no
 
condemnation
 
to
 
those
 
who are in Christ Jesus
,
who do not walk according to the flesh
,
but
 
according to
the Spirit.
2
For 
the law of the Spirit of life in Christ
Jesus has made
me
 
free
 
from
 
the Law of sin and death
.3.This promise is one of the greatest ones for true Christians because it can give them proper confidence in the worse situations. But every one of God’s promises has at least onerequirement or condition. Why is the promise so very important especially in times whenone is being persecuted for his or her moral/ethical living (Christ-likeness)?4.What does this promise personally mean to you?5.What is the condition and what are the two requirements of that?6.What does the word “according” mean?7.How can you be “in Christ Jesus”? Read the Beatitudes in Matthew 5.8.How can you “not walk according to the flesh”? See Galatians 5:19-21, Romans 1:18-32,Ephesians 4:17-5:12, and 2 Timothy 3:1-5.9.How can you “walk according to the Spirit”? See Ephesians 5:15-21, Romans 12, andGalatians 5:22-6:10.

For
 
what the Law
 
could not do
 in that it was
weak through the flesh
,
God did by sending His own Son
 
in the likeness
of sinful flesh,
on account
 
of sin
:
He condemned
 
sin in the flesh
,
4 
that
the righteous requirement
 
of the Law
 
might be
 
fulfilled in us
 who
do not
walk 
according to
the flesh
but
 
according to
 
the Spirit
.
5
 
For
 
those who live according to the flesh
 
set their minds on
 
the things of the flesh
,
but
 
those who live according to the Spirit
,
the things of the Spirit
.
1
 
6 
 
For
 
to be
 
carnally minded
is
death
,
but
 
to be spiritually minded
 
is
 
life and peace
.
7 
 
Because
 
the carnal mind is
 
enmity against God
,
for
 
it is
 
not subject to the Law of God
,
nor indeed can be
.
8
 
So then
,
those who are
 
in the flesh
 
cannot please God
.10.What is “the Law of sin and death”?11.What is “the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ”?12.Read Romans 3:10-6:23, Galatians 3:16-29 & 5:1-18, and John 14:12-15:17.Write an essay about what the passages teach and command.13.What do Romans 8:3-4 mean to you?

Reread Proverbs 3:5-8.How do you discern the Holy Spirit communicating and not selfish desires? Read what JesusChrist said about the Holy Spirit in John 14-16 before answering these two questions.

But
 
you are not in the flesh
 
but
 
in the Spirit
,
if 
 
indeed
 
the Spirit of God dwells in you
. 
Now if anyone does not
 
have the Spirit of Christ
,
he [or she] is not His
.
10
And
if 
 
Christ is in you
,
the body is dead
because of sin,
but
 
the spirit is life
 
because of righteousness
.
11
But
if 
 
the Spirit of Him
 
Who raised Jesus from the dead
 
dwells in
you,He Who
raised Christ from the dead
 
will also give life to your mortal bodiesthrough
 
His Spirit Who
 
dwells in
 
you
.
12
Therefore
, brethren [and sisters], we are
debtor
s-- 
not
 
to
 
the flesh
,
to live according to the flesh
.
13
For
 
if 
you live
according to
the flesh
you will die
;
but
 
if 
 
by
the Spirit
you
 
put to death
 
the deeds of the body
,
you will live
.19.What does it mean to “have the Spirit of Christ”? See Galatians 4:1-7What does the phrase “Christ is in you” mean?20.When is an individual “His” [Jesus Christ]?21.What does Romans 8:10 mean to you?22.What is “Him” in verse 11 and “the Spirit of Him”?23.What does the phrase “dwells in you” mean?24.How can the Holy Spirit “give life” to individual’s “mortal bodies”? Read Ephesians 2.

25.Who are Christians debtors to and why?26.What is the big responsibility of each Christian and how is it done?
14 
For as many as are
led by the Spirit of God
,these are
sons [and daughters] of God
.
15
For you did not receive
the spirit of bondage
 
again
 
to fear
, but you received
the Spirit of adoptionby
Whom we
cry out
, “
Abba
,
Father”
.
16 
 
The Spirit
Himself 
bears witness
 
with our spiritthat we are children of God
,
17 
and if children, then heirs-- 
heirs of God
and
 joint heirs with Christ
,
if indeed
we suffer 
with
Him,that we
may also be
 
glorified together
.
18
For
 
 I consider 
that
the sufferings
of this present time
are not worthy
 
to be compared with
 
the glory which shall be revealed in us
.
19
For
 
the earnest
 
expectation of 
 
the creation
 
eagerly
waits for 
the revealing of the sons [and daughters] of God
.
20
For
 
the creation was subjected to futility
,
not willingly
, but because of Him Who
subjected
it
in hope
;
21
because
the creation
itself also
will be
 
delivered from the bondage of corruption
 
into
 
the
 
glorious liberty
 
of the children of God
.
22
For we know that
 
the whole creation
 
groans and labors
 
with birth pangs together
until now.
23
Not only that, but we alsowho have
the first fruits of the Spirit
,even we ourselves
groan within
ourselves,
eagerly waiting
 
for
 
the adoption
, 
the redemption of our body
.
24 
 
For
 
we
 
were saved in this hope
,
but hope that is seen is not hope
;for why does one still hope for what he [or she] sees?
25
But if 
we hope for what we do not see
,we
eagerly wait
for it
with perseverance
.27.What does Romans 8:14-15 mean to you?
