Saints or Sinners



Live as Saints Should Live

1.    Review Romans 13:11 and look for what is “nearer.” Read Ezekiel 3:20; Doctrine and Covenants 14:7; and explain in writing what we must continue doing to work out our salvation.
We need to be like Christ, loving, charitable, humble, meek.  We need to serve others and to follow the commandments.  Our salvation will be soon be here so we need to be doing what we are asked, just not in the end.
2.    In Romans 12-13 Paul gave much counsel that leads to salvation. Read each of the following verses and list what Paul taught would help lead to salvation:
o       Romans 12:1:  We must be willing to to sacrifice what we have
                                      to be in the service of God.  
o       Romans 12:2:  We must live in the world, be not be of the world
o       Romans 12:9:  Love everyone and do no evil.
o       Romans 12:13: Give to those who have less or have a need
o       Romans 12:16: Be humble and treat others how we want to be
                                       treated.
o       Romans 12:21: Overcome evil with good
o       Romans 13:1:   Be willing to listen to God and his appointed
o       Romans 13:3    Be faithful and trust your leaders
o       Romans 13:8    Love one another
o       Romans 13:9    Keep the commandments
3.    Review Romans 14:1-13; 15:1-3.
o       What cautions did Paul give about judging?
When we are judging others, we are holding ourselves back from progressing.
·                      People may have different opinions and practices, but what is most important to remember?
We are all here for the same purpose, we are all his children that are trying to find our way and make it back to live with Him.
o       What additional insight comes from reading Doctrine and Covenants 38:25-27?
The Golden Rule:  treat others the way we want to be treated.
4.    Review Romans 15:25-26, 31; 16:2, 15. Write the term Paul frequently used to refer to members of the Church in his day.
