Rom9,30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
31 but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. > They get the law from God
32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. > Instead of believing, living in a relationship with God, trusting him always, he is good, always helping ... - i can life as every thing hangs on me. As if i need to make the different. But this is living as if God isn't here or as if i could earn something by God. They stumbled over the stumbling-stone. > I think, this i do many times. Stumble into a life of : I am responsible - God is not here. I am alone! I need to earn my merit. I can not earn anything by God. I have every thing from him - all the time - for free - he wants to bless me - but if i want to do every thing on my own. It would not be good, if i would be blessed by him! So he is probably waiting with blessing me till i let go. Till i give him control over all of it! So i become open for what GOOD HE WANTS TO GIVE ME! THIS IS AWESOME! I AM CURIOUS WHAT GOOD IS GOD GIVING ME TODAY! ? :-)
33 As it is written: See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.
> THIS IS AMAZING - the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.
My biggest fear is to be shamed.
Just trust in Jesus.
I WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME! NEVER EVER - NO SHAME ANYMORE!
If i just can learn to trust him.
Learn to let go
Learn to giving it over to him
God change my heart!

Rom9,16 It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. > God have mercy with me!
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.2.M9,16 But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. > God does what he wants
19 One of you will say to me: Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?
20 But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?' > My view of God is small, when i read this, i feel - wow, what a different between God and man...What do we know, do we understand some thing?
i just can be given love from God for God! Can i have a heart like Moses? What does it take for me to have his desire for God! 2013 the year where i started to desire God! Where i started walking with God! Like Henoch21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? > Of corse! But what about the soul of the person as common use?
22 What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath- prepared for destruction?22 Wenn aber Gott, willens, seinen Zorn zu erweisen und seine Macht zu erkennen zu geben, mit vieler Langmut die Gefäße des Zorns ertragen hat, die zum Verderben zubereitet sind,
23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory-23 und wenn er handelte, damit er den Reichtum seiner Herrlichkeit an den Gefäßen des Erbarmens zu erkennen gebe, die er zur Herrlichkeit vorher bereitet hat,
24 even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? > God calls every one. Not every one is willing. God knows why!
25 As he says in Hosea:I will call them 'my people' who are not my people; and I will call her 'my loved one' who is not my loved one, > God changes his mind ... looks like
26 and,It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them,'You are not my people,' they will be called 'sons of the living God'.
27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea, only the remnant will be saved.nur der Rest wird gerettet werden.
28 For the Lord will carry out his sentence on earth with speed and finality.28 Denn indem er das Wort vollendet und abkürzt, wird der Herr es auf der Erde ausführen. > I like speed!
29 It is just as Isaiah said previously:Unless the Lord Almighty had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.29 Und wie Jesaja vorher gesagt hat: "Wenn nicht der Herr Zebaoth8 uns Nachkommenschaft9 übrig gelassen hätte, so wären wir wie Sodom geworden und Gomorra gleich geworden." > Is that: We are not better then anyone - we are potter for common use?
> Having a heart like Moses
> 2013 a year of desiring God
> Feel it
> It is not me - it is Gods grace - It is not me, it is him who has the potter in his hand. I can let go, let God and trust him.
GOD GIVE ME A HEART LIKE MOSES HAD!
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.2.M9,16 But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.

Rom9,1 I speak the truth in Christ- I am not lying, my conscience confirms it in the Holy Spirit-
2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. > This is a heart.
Since yesterdays phone conversation i feel more lame and tired in my hard as before. I would need some one who would reflect with me the year 2012 ...
God give me energy to be able to serve now!
Paul: unceasing anguish :2 dass ich große Traurigkeit habe und unaufhörlichen Schmerz in meinem Herzen;/dass ich große Traurigkeit und Schmerzen ohne Unterlass in meinem Herzen habe;[unaufhörliche Qual] He really has a amazing heart!
3 For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race, > ! <
4 the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises.
5 Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, for ever praised! Amen. > Jesus is God <
6 It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.
8 In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise/sondern nur die Kinder der Verheißung who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.
9 For this was how the promise was stated: At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.
10 Not only that, but Rebekah's children had one and the same father, our father Isaac.
11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad- in order that God's purpose in election might stand:/11 Denn als die Kinder noch nicht geboren waren und weder Gutes noch Böses getan hatten - damit der nach freier Auswahl5 gefasste Vorsatz Gottes bestehen bliebe,
12 not by works but by him who calls- she was told, The older will serve the younger. > Some things are just like this. I saw a documentary of Roger Federer. He has so much(He works of corse very hard) but all his hard work would be for nothing if in him would be little talent. - Not sure if it is fair to say...
13 Just as it is written: Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. > so?
14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! > Paul realizes that this comment is not to easy!
15 For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. > 2Mo 33,12 Moses said to the LORD, You have been telling me, 'Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, 'I know you by name and you have found favour with me.'
13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favour with you. > Moses just wants to please GOD! Remember that this nation is your people. > This are your people GOD! 14 The LORD replied, My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. > !!! < 15 Then Moses said to him, If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. > Moses is not just happy with what God tels him. Moses sais: Your presence GOD is a given! Of corse you have to be present for us!
16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? > What a great question! What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth? > Yes - if you God are not eminent here - nothing makes any different!
17 And the LORD said to Moses, I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name. > Do i have the same Moses heart?
18 Then Moses said, Now show me your glory. > Moses want more GOD and more GOD and more GOD - He can not have enough of GOD! And the LORD said, I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
> When i see the heart of Moses, i am not surprised why God chose him? Moses loves God so much! Moses wants to please God so intensely ! It is challenging for me to read!
16 It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.

Rom8,28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. > love him - today - now!JUST NOW
29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son > i will be more and more like God!, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. > he did that already? ?
31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? > simple, logical
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all- how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? >
33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. > i must say, that i struggle with predestination BUT why can God chose? Because he knows the outcome! He knows the outcome of me - i would explane it like this. He chose me, because he saw, that in the end of all time, i will be faithful. Just i don't know if i am making it till to the end!
SO HERE in V23: No one can bring any charge against those whom God has chosen! I believe, God chose me! SO also, God justified me! I AM JUSTIFIED!
34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died- more than that, who was raised to life- is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. > Christ Jesus is talking FOR ME. Christ Jesus could condem me BUT he uses himself before God for me - he intercedes! Christ is talking good about me before God.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall trouble > I am still loved!
or hardship > I am still loved!
or persecution > I am still loved!
or famine(Hungersnot) > I am still loved!
or nakedness > I am still loved!
or danger > I am still loved!
or sword? > I am still loved!
GOD YOU LOVE ME KNOW!36 As it is written:For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. > How?
38 For I am convinced that
neither death > God love reaches me
nor life, > God love is here -
neither angels > they could not pull me away - out of Gods love
nor demons, > they could not pull me away from God's love
neither the present > What ever i am and is in now - God's love does not stop for me being powerful for me!
nor the future, > What ever will come - God's love will not stop to be powerful for me!
nor any powers, > NO POWER EVER has power enough to pull away and out of God's love!
39 neither height >
nor depth, >
nor anything else in all creation, > Nothing what God ever did has this power
I AM ALWAYS IN GOD's LOVE
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE LOVE OF GOD!
I WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE LOVE OF GOD!
THE LOVE OF GOD IS LIKE THE AIR I AM BREATHING
BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT - GOD'S LOVE
WILL I BE ABLE TO REMEMBER EVERY DAY: I AM IN GOD'S LOVE!
I AM IN GODS LOVE NOW!
i always had this thought, that Sin can separate me from God's love. I guess it is true. Sin is turning me aways from God. Sin makes me without God. In God i con not sin.
BUT I AM BAPTIZED FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF MY SIN!
Sin is powerless
I AM IN GODS LOVE - I BREATHE IN AND OUT GOD'S LOVE FOR ME!
What ever happens today - i am loved by God!
It starts with this sentence, that for all who love God, EVERY THING WHAT TODAY WILL HAPPEN IS WORKING OUT FOR THE GOOD FOR THEM.
And they will be made by God more and more into the image of Christ!
29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son > i will be more and more like God!, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Rom7,24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25 Thanks be to God- through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
Rom8,1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, > How are in Jesus -> 1.John2,3-6
2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,
4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. > What is my mind set on?
6 The mind of sinful man is death, >< but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; > life and peace - i do not feel much of this now. I feel a lot of fear! I feel, i can not do it at all! i feel more death. Is it because i look so much on what am i doing and what will be the result of it. Instad of just looking to serve. Trusting in God! TRUST IN GOD! Just serve.
7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. >
8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. > I know how it feels. In this days i feel very much controlled by fear.
9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. > If he really lives in me! He does! I believe! And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. > How to we get the spirit of God? Acts2,37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, Brothers, what shall we do? 38 Peter replied, Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off- for all whom the Lord our God will call. 40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, Save yourselves from this corrupt generation. 41 Those who accepted his message were baptised, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. > Again - i am dead. Christ lives in me. I do what Christ would do. That's it!
11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you. > I NEED LIFE TO MY MORTAL BODIE THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, WHO LIVES IN ME.
12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation- but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. > I don't have to live sinfully. I am free!
13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,
14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. > Still i wish to have it more practical.
15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, > but i feel fearful - very much! but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, Abba, Father. > Sonship - I CAN CRY: ABBA FATHER - I wil go do that!
16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs- heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. > Share in his sufferings!
I cry: ABBA FATHER
25 Thanks be to God- through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
Rom8,1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, > How are in Jesus -> 1.John2,3-6
2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,
4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. > What is my mind set on?
6 The mind of sinful man is death, >< but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; > life and peace - i do not feel much of this now. I feel a lot of fear! I feel, i can not do it at all! i feel more death. Is it because i look so much on what am i doing and what will be the result of it. Instad of just looking to serve. Trusting in God! TRUST IN GOD! Just serve.
7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. >
8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. > I know how it feels. In this days i feel very much controlled by fear.
9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. > If he really lives in me! He does! I believe! And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. > How to we get the spirit of God? Acts2,37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, Brothers, what shall we do? 38 Peter replied, Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off- for all whom the Lord our God will call. 40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, Save yourselves from this corrupt generation. 41 Those who accepted his message were baptised, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. > Again - i am dead. Christ lives in me. I do what Christ would do. That's it!
11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you. > I NEED LIFE TO MY MORTAL BODIE THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, WHO LIVES IN ME.
12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation- but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. > I don't have to live sinfully. I am free!
13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,
14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. > Still i wish to have it more practical.
15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, > but i feel fearful - very much! but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, Abba, Father. > Sonship - I CAN CRY: ABBA FATHER - I wil go do that!
16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs- heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. > Share in his sufferings!

Rom7,7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. > This is maybe why Jesus sais no one is good except God. We would not know what is good without the law!For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, Do not covet. > crazy to see how we are -
8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead(denn ohne Gesetz ist die Sünde tot. ).
9 Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. > Sin sprang to life and i died <
10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.
11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death(11 Denn die Sünde ergriff durch das Gebot die Gelegenheit, täuschte mich und tötete mich durch dasselbe. ). > Sin deceived me!
12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! But in order that sin might be recognised as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.(13 Ist nun das Gute mir zum Tod geworden? Auf keinen Fall! Sondern die Sünde, damit sie als Sünde erschiene, indem sie durch das Gute mir den Tod bewirkte, damit die Sünde überaus sündig würde durch das Gebot.)
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. > i guess, this is before baptism. After that i am set free
15 I do not understand what I do. > ... For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. > ... Was that before Paul was baptized?
16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. > As if i am not free - as if it just comes over me! And i can't do anything against it!
18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. > I know - i am not the first one who is asking if Paul life's like this or if he shares about a past he had. It also could be that his messerments are just so very different!
19 For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do- this I keep on doing.
20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. > This sounds like i am not responsible. The sin is responsible ...
21 So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law; > yes - i do too.
23 but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. > yes - i can feel exactly like this: A WAR AGAINST THE LAW OF MY MIND. / A PRISONER OF THE LAW OF SIN AT WORK WITHIN ME
24 What a wretched man I am! > I think he really shares about present time - he just see's the opportunity always to be more exactly like Jesus. Who will rescue me from this body of death? > I COULD DICTATE THIS SO EXACTLY!
25 Thanks be to God- through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin. > Still and always have to grow out of sin - more and more!
Paul is struggling
I am struggling for sure
Why be discouraged!
Just move on! struggle better next time!
Struggling is OK - giving up is noway!

Rom7,1 Do you not know, brothers- for I am speaking to men who know the law- that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives? > As long as I live. So here we go again. I just should stop living. Let Jesus live in me. Even i think i cant do it anymore, just call some one and ask for help or advise ... but i always can,... be like him!
2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. > So death makes every thing new. Restart!
3 So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man.
4 So, my brothers, you also died to the law(this is incredible - but what does it really mean?) through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another(i belong to christ - !!!), to him who was raised from the dead(i belong to the guy who is risen from the death!!!), in order that we might bear fruit to God. > So that i belong to christ! I do not belong to me anymore!
5 For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. > It is physical: "in our bodies!" - AND then we bring fruit for death! IT IS KILLING! - here i wrote down my sin-chain -.-.- MySinChain.txt
6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. > this is not clear to me at all - i am not understand!
V6 sound to me as if it is going automatically - But for it is not at all like this!
i have to dy every day
i have to dy in every moment of temptation
dying is all i have to do
why is dying so hard?
dying to what ones bound us! What are the thing they ones bound mE?
"we have been released from the law": Why is Paul saying "released" - RELEASED, it just feels different!
"SO THAT we serve in the new way of the Spirit" - released to serve in the new way - released to serve. serve the Spirit!
Christoph SERVE THE SPIRIT!
I can not serve the spirit if i do not know how to listen to the spirit!
How can i learn to listen better to the spirit?
Is not in the end just about obeying?
OBEY THE SPIRIT!
Is it really hard to know what the Spirit tels me? I do not think so!
Just maybe this comment:"Christoph you do to much!"people say! What is this?
Do i not listen to the spirit?
DO I HAVE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT?
DO I TAKE THE TIME?
2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. > So death makes every thing new. Restart!

Rom6,15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! > All right
16 Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey- whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? > Sin leads to death / Obedience to righteousness
17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. > Not always wholeheartedly -
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. > But it does not happen every day automatically!
19 I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. > You are right - i am week! What kind of level did you reach so far? Where are you Paul? Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. > Slavery to righteousness - <> - i still can chose...
20 When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.
21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! > I will earn destruction, shame, pain, death - all kinds of BAD stuff! Do i wan that? Do i think i have it under control? I guess, that how i feel - BUT I KNOW CLEARLY I DO NOT HAVE CONTROL AT ALL! It is more powerful then i am. It will destroy me!
22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. > Holiness - i will reap holiness and end up in eternal life!
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. > The wages of sin is death! BUT I CAN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!
What do i want?

Rom6,1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning, so that grace may increase? > Fair question! Why not - it is forgiven - it is payed - God loves - Come one GOD : i don't get it! It is al fine!!!!!!!!!!Isn't it????Why suffering to stay in a righteousness life? I DON'T WANT TO SUFFER!
2 By no means! > Yeah, because you are a Christian you say that - you are even Paul, saying it! TELL ME WHY!!!! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? > OK, this was to fast! We died! Sudden death! I just get killed! When did i die to sin?
3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptised into Christ Jesus were baptised into his death? > Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery interesting - baptism! - i do not say anything more! ALL THIS LIARS WHO SAY - pray Jesus into your heart and this is it - you are fine. NOT WHEN I READ PAUL!
4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism > BAPTISM! into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. > into death. In my baptism i died! WITH CHRIST! Now i am raised from the dead. - TO LIVE A NEW LIFE! Christoph is dead! I came in to a new life. God raised me. I became a baby. This is how i feel. I am so far away in my performance where i would like to be.!.
5 If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. > YES - if anybody is reading this: Just to be perfectly clear: Paul sais: IF WE HAVE BEEN UNITED WITH HIM LIKE THIS IN HIS DEATH - when does it happen, this unity? IN BAPTISM!!!! PEOPLE READ THE BIBEL - DON'T be deceived by successful preachers... THE BIBEL SAIS: IF WE ARE UNITED IN DEATH WITH CHRIST - when is this unity happening - ask Paul - in baptism!!!!
If we are not united in death - how can we be united in resurrection with Jesus?(good question to ask - don't you think?) We never need to resurrect again! We never died! We always lived - following a easy way behind some popular sermon-deliverers! CRAZY PEOPLE - ! They should talk with GOD MORE!!!
YOU WILL NOT BE SAVED WITHOUT DYING. WITHOUT DYING NO RESURRECTION IN CHRIST!!! YOU ARE STILL A LIFE IN YOUR OWN BODY AND WAY OF LIVING!!!!! I know, there are not many who believe this. But Jesus already said, the way is narrow. The door to the narrow way is narrow too. The door is the baptism for the forgiveness of you sin!(Acts:2,John3, Rom6,1.Petr3: Jesus teaches the same as Paul as Peter teaches ... funny how unified they were on baptism - compare it to today!!!!)6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin- > And how many time should i be crucified? one time before baptism. I stop believing what I think is right and i stop believing what other think is right. And i start believing what the bible teaches! AND THEN I CAN BE RAISED, AS PAUL SAID. But - a disciple picks up his cross every day, he dies TO HIM SELF EVER DAY. HE DENIES HIM SELF EVERY DAY! EVERY DAY CHRISTIANITY!!!!
7 because anyone who has died has been freed from sin. > OK - i am sorry when i am so emotional: I just want to say this: IF YOU DID NOT DIE ACCORDING THE BIBLE - HOW CAN YOU BE FREE FROM SIN? ACCORDING THE BIBLE! PEOPLE READ THE BIBLE!!!!
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. > WE BELIEVE - no works so far - WE BELIEVE! Baptism is not a work you do - some one else is baptising you!!!! .... Their is more to say. AND since when is the prayer "Jesus come in to my heart" not a WORK? WHY IS EVERYBODY SO SUPERFICIAL WHEN IT IS ABOUT 'HOW TO BE SAVED!!!!!' - Ask Peter, what does save, according to Peter????????Come one - do you want to ask Peter ones - why did you write this - i do not agree? Does not make any sense!
9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. > He is not mastered by death any more! This is not how i feel! I need to believe! I NEED TO ACT AS IF I WOULD REALLY BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BELIEVE CHRISTOPH - do not wait for feelings. Feelings come an go like the weather!
10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. > AM I LIVING TO GOD????????????????????God help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. > i count myself death to sin. HOW? WHAT? tell me more practically!!!!!!!!!!!!TO WHAT DO I COUNT MY SELFE? WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON IN MY HEART, as far counting my self to anything?
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. > do not let sin reign in my mortal body, so that i would obey the evil desires.
I would obey EVIL DESIRES!
SIN can be like a King. If i obey sin, i will follow evil desires! This means: Their is a power connected AS STRONG AS DESIRE! SIN HAS A STRONG POWER! It is like i let myself fall down a bridge - i can not fly! the gravitation becomes the power which i am powerless against - like the desires, i am powerless against it -iF I MAKE SIN TO MY KING!
13 Do not offer the parts of your body to sin > this is so crazy! MY BODY! Paul talks so physical!!!!, as instruments of wickedness > My body becomes a instrument of WICKEDNESS: As if i would loos control!, but rather offer yourselves to God > this is the alternative! I can offer my selfe to WICKEDNESS or to GOD / Barabas or Jesus, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. > Instrument of Wickedness or Righteousness - CHOSE FOR YOUR SELF CHRISTOPH - come one chose - Man
14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. > Why shall. Why can not! Don't let it ever happen again! ....
God i want to chose YOU
God i want to chose Righteousness
BUT
SIN IS SO PULLING PUSHING AT THE TIME!!!!!
Help me GOD!
2 By no means! > Yeah, because you are a Christian you say that - you are even Paul, saying it! TELL ME WHY!!!! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? > OK, this was to fast! We died! Sudden death! I just get killed! When did i die to sin?

11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. > i count myself death to sin. HOW? WHAT? tell me more practically!!!!!!!!!!!!TO WHAT DO I COUNT MY SELFE? WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON IN MY HEART, as far counting my self to anything?
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. > do not let sin reign in my mortal body, so that i would obey the evil desires.
I would obey EVIL DESIRES!
SIN can be like a King. If i obey sin, i will follow evil desires! This means: Their is a power connected AS STRONG AS DESIRE! SIN HAS A STRONG POWER! It is like i let myself fall down a bridge - i can not fly! the gravitation becomes the power which i am powerless against - like the desires, i am powerless against it -iF I MAKE SIN TO MY KING!
13 Do not offer the parts of your body to sin > this is so crazy! MY BODY! Paul talks so physical!!!!, as instruments of wickedness > My body becomes a instrument of WICKEDNESS: As if i would loos control!, but rather offer yourselves to God > this is the alternative! I can offer my selfe to WICKEDNESS or to GOD / Barabas or Jesus, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. > Instrument of Wickedness or Righteousness - CHOSE FOR YOUR SELF CHRISTOPH - come one chose - Man
14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. > Why shall. Why can not! Don't let it ever happen again! ....
God i want to chose YOU
God i want to chose Righteousness
BUT
SIN IS SO PULLING PUSHING AT THE TIME!!!!!
Help me GOD!

Rom5,12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned- > OK here it is: death through sin came to all - because ALL sinned. NOt because one ones sinned.
13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. > When their is no Law - Sin would not be visible. SIN WAS ALWAYS IN THE WORLD.
At the time Sin is so very strong - i guess it is because i do not want to endure hurt!
I do not want to suffer.
I want to just feel good ..... how weak am i?14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come. > Death is reigning! Is that a problem for me, that death is reigning? Not really for me. But i am maybe not thinking straight... If it will all end at ones - how peaceful this will be this moment of entering nothing!
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! > HOW MUCH MORE DID GOD's GRACE
+
THE GIFT THAT CAME BY THE GRACE OF THE ONE MEN JEUS CHRIST
why how much more?18 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. > One powerful act is enough. I have no idea why their is this word CONSEQUENTLY ?
I don't get it!
20 The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, > I JUST CAN SAY AMEN! THANKFULLY!
21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. > so also grace might reign through righteousness - and Jesus did it.
13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. > When their is no Law - Sin would not be visible. SIN WAS ALWAYS IN THE WORLD.

+
THE GIFT THAT CAME BY THE GRACE OF THE ONE MEN JEUS CHRIST
O V E R F L O W
the many
16 Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. > ? Do i ned to understand every thing ? From many sins, the gift brought
J U S T I F I C A T I O N
17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. > THIS HOW MUCH MORE - i do not understand at all!why how much more?18 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. > One powerful act is enough. I have no idea why their is this word CONSEQUENTLY ?
J E S U S A C T O F J U S T I F I C A T I O N B R I N G S L I F E F O R A L L M E N
19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, > Many were made sinners ? so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. > made righteous. I become automatically a sinner BUT not automatically righteousI don't get it!
20 The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, > I JUST CAN SAY AMEN! THANKFULLY!
21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. > so also grace might reign through righteousness - and Jesus did it.

Rom5,1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, > at the time i have not much peace with some people - but with God! So - what - what to do then?
2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. > this is awesome - "rejoice in the hope of the glory of God". DO I REJOICE = i need to learn to rejoice / very urgent /
rejoice in the hope of the glory of God | Gods glory : i can, i am part of it! If i am in it/him!
3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, > this is most awesome!
because we know that suffering produces perseverance; > What am i suffering now about? Relationships and tiredness /
perseverance is important to keep being close to God! God is like the watchtower in the ocean in the storm - Better stay inside of him as going out and looking around ... perseverance keeps me save and in the tower.
Today i almost started to walk around outside again - in the storm - i almost fall down!!! THANKS GOD! Storm is here - i need your help to stay inside!!
4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. > I LOVE PEOPEL WITH CHARACTER!
People with character, they know what they want, they know how to wait for it, they know how to express it properly, they know how to stick to it by all cost's : i my character is build by being with God, my character is awesome!
Why character is linked to hope = Don't know!
AM I A HOPEFUL PERSON?
HOW ARE HOPEFUL PERSONS - they are just awesome - I want to be around hopeful persons.
What a awesome person i can become:
BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT, IT ALL STARTS WITH SUFFERING!
GOD HELP ME TO NOW RUN AWAY FROM SUFFERING BUT TO:
P E R S E V E R E IN IT!
How do i run from suffering:
> Start sinning - almost today
> becoming angry - depressed or agains other - i did that today
> becoming passive - loosing faith and so without passion
> Just not obeying but walking away
> ..?..
Without perseverance NO character - and then i will never reach this hopeful stat of being!
COMONE SUFFERING
GOD - I THINK I SHOULD LEARN TO SUFFER - BETTER!
IT IS ALL DOWN THEIR - HIDDEN
5 And hope does not disappoint us, > i guess, this is because our hope is in God and God is not disappointing us - NEVER EVER!!!! because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. > BUT NO, this is not the reason. The reason is: Gods love is poured out in our heart - because is have the Holy Spirit!
THE LOVE OF GOD I PURED INTO ME!
IT IS HEAR - not somewhere far!
But it does not become real before i sufferd!
If i avoid suffering, i will never reach this really!
I DO TO MANY TIMES AVOID THE SUFFERING - SO I NEVER GROW!
God help me!
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. > Why is he saying this now?
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. > of corse
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. > It is amazing!
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! > ?
10 For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! > AMEN - hang in their Christoph - [still do not see the real connection to the first part]
11 Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. > We are fine with Christ!
R) because we have access to his grace through faith we REJOICE > WE ARE IN GRACE
R) we also REJOICE in suffering because this builds up perseverance, this builds up character, this builds up hope and HOPE WILL ALWAYS BE FULFILLED! > WE ARE CHANGED IN TO A STRONG PERSON
R) We REJOICE in GOD because through Jesus Christ we are reconciled. > WE ARE IN PEACE WITH GOD
3 reason to be joyful all the time!

Rom4,1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, discovered in this matter?
2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about- but not before God.
3 What does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, > Abraham believed God! Do i believe God!? what should i believe from God today? and it was credited to him as righteousness. > Believing God makes me righteous!
4 Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation.
5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. > How in the world!
6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7 Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.
9 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness.
10 Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before!
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. > I am made righteous.
12 And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
13 It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. > by faith!
14 For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless,
15 because law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.
16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring- not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
17 As it is written: I have made you a father of many nations. He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed- the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. > most beautiful sentance in romans - i think
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, So shall your offspring be. > BUT WHAT IS SAID TO ME? What is the promise to me by God??
19 Without weakening in his faith, > what is my faith and where do i need to stay strong and not become week?? he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead- since he was about a hundred years old- and that Sarah's womb was also dead. > He was almost dead. I am almost dead too. In the areas where i should be strong i am week and not useful. I feel, i have nothing to offer. I fee i have no vision. I feel i am out.
20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, > i waver a lot / i have a lot of unbeliefe (do i know the promisses God has for me?) DO I KNOW / he WAS strengthened in his faith - WHO DID THAT? GOD? GOD COME AND STRENGTHEN ME!!!!
21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. > But again, what did God promise me personally? > Go and make disciples ... and i will be with you till the end of the world. HE WILL BE WITH ME. HE IS WITH ME NOW. -_______________________
22 This is why it was credited to him as righteousness. > this holding on to God?
23 The words it was credited to him were written not for him alone, > OK ....
24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness- for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. > I believe = and now? What should i do?
25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. > I am justified. I am fine. What should i do now?
2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about- but not before God.
3 What does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, > Abraham believed God! Do i believe God!? what should i believe from God today? and it was credited to him as righteousness. > Believing God makes me righteous!
4 Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation.

Rom4,1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, discovered in this matter? > When did i discover some thing about God the last time? It has been a wile, that i could say that. I was feeling so empty this weekend. Now i heard this great sermon series about decisions and i will preach it tonight. And i am fired up about it. But what have i discovered from God - How was it possible by Abraham? GOD - how can i come close to you? What is between you and me?
I feel unable, not good enough for what i am doing. I am ashamed some times as well. I think - wow - how could i do this! This 'not being confident enough' really hit me also harder then i thought. An this other struggles. It was to much. I was not dealing with my heart. What to do? It was adding up and i just kept going. I was basically in desperat need of a discovering from God! As i am right now!
I think i need to change my day-plan. Now i have to go, then be their, then do this. Till late in the night.
But in the night:
I want to do something with God!
Something - i need to be with him - see him... I will not understand the rest anyway!

Rom3,21 But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, > this would be the best righteousness to which the Law and the Prophets testify. > It is not something accidently - it is the real deal - what was for ever!
22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. > When i believe - it comes! There is no difference,
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, > Everybody is like me - like me now!
24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. > I am justified/gerechtfertigt - redemption=Erloesung / Christ Jesus redeemed us. If i believe.
and the only thing needed is my faith!
25 God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished
26 - he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. > God is just - he demonstrates it!
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. > What makes faith so special, that faith alone is enough, so i am made righteous before God!
28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law./28 Denn wir urteilen, dass der Mensch durch Glauben gerechtfertigt wird, ohne Gesetzeswerke. > We maintain FAITH makes me just / this happens apart form the law!
29 Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, > He is my God too!
30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. > Faith - where is my Faith!
31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law. > This nullify is a good question -WHY NOT?
Rom4,1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about- but not before God. 3 What does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. > When i believe - it comes! There is no difference,
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, > Everybody is like me - like me now!
24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. > I am justified/gerechtfertigt - redemption=Erloesung / Christ Jesus redeemed us. If i believe.
and the only thing needed is my faith!

4 Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. 5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7 Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.
9 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness. 10 Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before! 11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
12 And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised. 13 It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. > Because he believed
14 For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless, 15 because law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression. 16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham's offspring- not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. 17 As it is written: I have made you a father of many nations. He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed- the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, So shall your offspring be.
19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead- since he was about a hundred years old- and that Sarah's womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
22 This is why it was credited to him as righteousness.
23 The words it was credited to him were written not for him alone,
24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness- for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
