Top Highlights

“We simply consecrate the body that the Holy Spirit, who has made it His temple, might have free access to all its courts and free control over all its activities. The believer who thus presents his body is changed.” (Romans 12:2)

“In Hebrew thought ‘the heart’ comprised the whole man. It is interesting to compare Romans 10:9 with 2 Corinthians 4:4, 6. Satan blinds the mind but God enlightens the heart.” (Romans 10:5–9)

“The sin of the hypocrite is that of being indignant at other people’s shortcomings and of being indulgent of his own.” (Romans 2:1–2)

“they apply not to true believers but to false professors of Christianity.” (Romans 5:1–21)

“‘What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?’ (vv. 31–32). The foundation of our hope is the grace of God and the gift of God. ‘If God be for us, who can be against us?’ The ‘if’ in this statement in no way implies a doubt. There is no question as to whether or not God is for us. The word means ‘since God is for us, who can be against us?’ The strength of any possible adversary is utter weakness compared with the omnipotence of God.” (Romans 8:28–39)
