We’re going to continue on the Book of Romans.
*I.
**/ROM 12:9-12/*
*A.
/Paul continues/* with his */exhortation/*.
*1.
*The */main clause here/* is found at the */end of/* (*/V 11/*), “*/Serving the Lord/*.”
*a.
/We will serve the Lord better/* */if we/* are “*/Not slothful in business/*; */fervent in spirit/*; */Rejoicing in hope/*; */patient in tribulation/*; */continuing instant in prayer/*.”
*b.
*When Paul says “*/Fervent in Spirit/*.”
*i.
*The word “*/Fervent/*” means “To boil */with heat, be hot, (metaphor) zeal/*.”
*ii.
*He’s saying “*/Have a zeal for God, be on fire for the Lord/*.”
*c.
*He */also tells us/* to “*/be patient in tribulation/*.”
*i.
*There are */going to be/* those */storms in life/*, but */be Patient in them/*.
*ii.
*Through */faith and patience/* we’ll */inherit/* the */promises/*.
*d.*
*/He adds/* to that thought by saying, “*/Continuing instant in prayer/*.”
*i.
/Prayer/*, */along with faith/* is */going to get you out of/* those */storms/*.
*ii.
*Now */prayer should not be just for yourselves/*.
*iii.
*(*/1 Timothy 2:1-2/*) Says, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, /and/ giving of thanks, be made for all men; (2) For kings, and /for/ all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”
*II.
**/ROM 12:13/*
*A.
/In this V/* */Paul/* makes */mention/* of */Christians/* */helping out those/* in the body that are */in need/*.
That’s */part of giving alms/*.
*1.
*But */I must say/* that */you need to be led of the Lord when doing this/*.
*a.
*There are */many/* that */go from church to church/* */looking for someone to give them something/*.
(Stories)
*2.
/Paul goes on/* */in this same V to say/* that */Christians should be/* “*/given to hospitality/*.”
*a.
/That literally means/*, “*/pursuing friendliness to strangers/*.”
*i.
/I’m not saying/* that you should */make them your best friend/* */or/* */invite them/* into your house */to live with you/*.
*ii.
/But/* you should */show the love of Jesus/* */to those/* that you */don’t/* even */know/*.
*iii.
/Sometimes/* */people walk into the church/*, */not knowing anyone/*.
*/We need to reach out to them/*, */showing yourself friendly/*.
*b.
/Paul under the inspiration of the HS/* */said we need to do this/*.
*i.
/We’re going to win many to Christ by showing Hospitality/*.
*B.
**/ROM 12:14-16/*
*1.
/Paul exhorts/* the */believers/* */how to act/* */when/* other */persecute/* you.
*a.
*He tells us to “*/Bless and do not curse/*.”
*2.
*Then he */goes on to say/* that we should */rejoice with those that rejoice/*.
*a.
/Share/* in */their joy/* and */don’t/* try to */bring them down/*.
*3.
*Paul */also adds/*, “*/Weep with those that weep/*.
*a.
*In other words */have some compassion for those/* that are */hurting/*.
*b.
/Don’t tell them to shape up/* and do this or that.
*/Use some compassion/*.
*4.
*Then in (*/V 16/*) he */tells/* the */believers/*, “Be this way with the unbelievers as well as the believers.”
*a.
*The */NIV translation/* says, “*/Live in harmony with one another/*.”
*5.
*In the */last/* */½/* of (*/V 16/*) in the */KJV/* says, “Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate.
Be not wise in your own conceits.”
*a.
*Again the */NIV/* says, “*/Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.
Do not be conceited/*.”
*C.
**/ROM 12:17-18/*
*1.
*Paul is telling us that */we should not repay/* anyone */evil for evil/*.
*a.
*In (*/EXO 21:24/*) Moses said, “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
*b.
*But */Paul is telling us/* that we should */bless those that curse/* us.
*i.
/Do not repay evil for evil/*, but */do what is right/*.
*2.
*In (*/V 18/*) he says “To make every attempt to live at peace with all men.”
*D.
**/ROM 12:19-21/*
*1.
*In (*/V 19/*) Paul */begins to tell us the reason why/* we should */not/* */repay evil for evil/* */or take revenge/*.
*a.
/God will repay/*.
It’s not our place to play God.
*2.
*He goes on to say in (*/V 20/*) “When we do good to those that persecute you heap coals of fire on his head.
*a.
*This is a */quote from/* (*/PRO 25:21-22/*).
*b.
*The */meaning/* of this could */possibly be taken from the Egyptians/*, in which */a person showed his repentance by carrying a pan of burning charcoal on his head/*.
*i.
/Blessing an enemy may cause him/* */to be ashamed and repent/*.
*c.
*Paul then in (*/V 21/*) gives a */summary/* */of/* his */thought/* by saying *“Do not be overcome by evil,”* */by giving in to the temptation with retaliation/*,* “but overcome evil with good.”*
*III.
