Rts romans bible study8/7/2023 ![]() I think for all of us, knowing our Bible is very, very important for living the Christian life. Christians have the ability to look at horrible situations with our eyes wide open and say, ‘yes, that’s as bad as it sounds when I say it out loud, but I believe that God is working for my good.’ Romans 8 is key to your assurance in hard times.”Īdvice to Every Believer: “Know your Bible better. Romans 8 is all about convincing Christians that God loves us, that all of his plans for us are good even if what we are going through itself is not good, and that his purposes are for our blessing and not for our harm. “The older I grow, the more I have come to believe that a person’s confidence that God loves them and is working for their good is actually key to a person being able to continue in the Christian life. If you don’t have Him, nothing else matters because nothing else measures up and nothing else can last.”Īpplying Romans 8:28 in the Real World: And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ![]() And so the real challenge as you share the gospel is to let people know that God is the ultimate joy and treasure and satisfaction and delight in life. A person can say, yes, all of this Bible and Christianity stuff is nice, but the place where I’m really going to find joy is in my ‘fill in the blank.’ Whatever you think is going to give you ultimate satisfaction in life is what you worship. The serpent looked at Eve and Adam and said, ‘God is not worth living for.’ And every single one of us has that play out every day. ![]() And when it gets down to it-that is the temptation of the Garden. Roadblocks to Belief in a Sovereign God: “I think our fundamental problem is that we are all idolaters. So our little motto is ‘a mind for truth, a heart for God, a life for ministry.’ I want the evangelical world to always know that at RTS, they’re the ‘Bible guys’- they really believe every word of the Bible.’ I want us to provide the pastors and church leaders for the evangelical church in this crisis moment in our culture,” says Dr. Duncan says, “This seminary has always wanted to be about evangelism and missions and pastoral work. Following the tenets of Reformed theology and Biblical inerrancy, the seminary offers several different degrees and preparation for careers in missions, counseling, and Christian education, as well as traditional ministry. There is also a virtual campus where students are able to do the majority of their course work online. With campuses in Jackson, Orlando, Charlotte, Atlanta, Washington, Memphis, and Houston, RTS students come from 50 different countries and as many as 60 different denominations. Today it is the largest reformed evangelical seminary in the world. Reformed Theological Seminary was founded in Jackson in 1966. ![]()
