Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Romans 7:6

What do you think about sin? About salvation? About your life in Christ? In this devotional, Think Like a Roman, we are renewing our minds through the book of Romans. What we believe is essential to the way we live, to our growth, our walk with Christ, and our future in Christ. Our thoughts determine our beliefs, our beliefs determine our actions. Over the next four days, join us as we dive into our understanding of doctrine relating to sin, salvation, and freedom in Christ.

All of Christianity rests on this one single truth – Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. Because He lives, you can count yourself fully alive to God, no longer mastered by sin, but living through the power of grace.

Whether you’ve been a Christian for a few days or a few decades, you have probably asked yourself at some point, “Why does the Christian life seem so hard?” This devotional plan answers that question by digging into the most famous Christian struggle in history—that of the Apostle Paul in Romans 7.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re born again and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to different values about right and wrong, and a different lifestyle to match it. This 5-day plan uses the 10 Commandments (following the classic Augustinian ordering) as a vehicle for an alternative, Christ-like morality and Jesus-way of living.

This reading plan is about the intersection of race, grace, justice, and Jesus. Jesus provides unique hope as we deal with the heartbreaking headlines, hope that is certain about the future without overpromising answers in the present. Jesus’ teaching is equally empowering and humbling, forcing us to look into the mirror and then back to the cross and then across to our neighbor.

Romans 6,7,8 combined are such a compelling portion of the powerful book of Romans, describing the basis and process of learning to walk in The Spirit of Jesus that we will soak in each of them twice in this study. We will allow the Word speak for itself reading each chapter and urging reflection on the deep meaning to be drawn from each chapter.

The life of Jonah, the four chapters, is a short and fantastic book that gives us truths and insights of what life is as a runaway. We all give Jonah a hard time for not doing the one thing that God asked him to do. The truth is that we all have run away at some point in our lives. In this first plan, we will discuss why we do this and recognize that the scandalous grace of God can redeem all of our stories. 

We are body, soul and spirit. Flesh is the term for our Godless nature. Have you noticed a struggle within you, between your spirit and your flesh? The apostle Paul explains this struggle in chapters 6, 7, and 8 of the Epistle to the Romans. Paul does not justify mediocrity there, but explains how to live in Jesus' victory by living in the Spirit.
