Romans 1:19-21
I would remind us that last week we were able to see that God Revealed Righteousness, Punishment and Himself to man kind. They are without excuse.(19) There are certainly many points to be drawn from this passage. So I don’t want you to think we are getting everything out of this passage that we can. There are so many truths contained in this passage we could draw it out for quite some time.

Romans 5:12-17
Introduction
An Old Time preacher, Harry Ironside wrote this:
The moment a man is justified by faith he is also born of God. His justification is, as we have seen, his official clearance before the throne of God. His regeneration involves his introduction into a new family. He becomes a part of the New Creation of which the risen Christ is the Head. Adam the first was federal head of the old race. Christ Risen, the Second Man and the Last Adam, is Head of the new race. The old creation fell in Adam, and all his descendants were involved in his ruin. The new creation stands eternally secure in Christ, and all who have received life from Him are sharers in the blessings procured by His cross and secured by His life at God's right hand.

Romans 6:12-23
Introduction
As we continue through the book of Romans, we can see Paul is dealing with “Sanctification”. Salvation occurs the moment you call on Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. It is instantaneous, not a process.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Romans 7:1-3
Introduction
Romans Chapter Seven, deals with the Law. We were introduced to Sanctification in chapter six, and he continues to deal with sanctification. In chapter six, he deals with liberalism. That is being free from sin, the mindset can become, do whatever you want. In chapter seven, he deals with legalism. Legalism is the idea that as long as we dress a certain way, or do certain things that we have a higher spiritual position that others. Weirsbe words it this way,

Romans 7:14-20
Introduction
Can I give you a little reassurance of your salvation tonight. If you are truly born again, you are going to struggle with sin. Lost people do NOT STRUGGLE with sin! It doesn’t bother them to get high, drunk, or live a sinful life. They live that way on a regular basis, without concern.
Some people have been taught certain things are morally wrong. Therefore, they try not to do things, because they are smitten by their conscience from what their mom and dad have taught them. But as society decays, and normal slides, so does morality. Paul really covered that in the first few chapters of Romans. Societal rules become a guide of right and wrong.

Proverbs 6:16-19
Intro. It is stated several times in the Bible that man has hated God! But no where in the Scripture will you find God hating man. You find quite the opposite!
“For [God so loved]{.underline} the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

Pro 7:6-10
Intro.
Solomon here uses a story to illustrate what he has just warned about.
This very scene unfolds night after night, it is ageless, and continues to take place. You CANNOT relegate this to being old fashioned, in 2019, I can promise you this same exact scenario takes place all around the world.
Solomon here illustrates the story from a young man’s perspective, but you could reverse the rolls, and find the same to be true. The application goes both ways.
