Choice #1
Review Romans 13:11 an look for what is “nearer.” Read Ezekiel 3:20; D&C 14:7; and explain in writing what we must continue doing to work out our salvation.
The word “nearer” in Romans 13:11 refers to the Second Coming. It is important that we keep the commandments, repent, and endure to the end if we want to receive eternal life.
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.
· Romans 12:1—present our bodies; stay worthy
· Romans 12:2—do not give into the pressures of the world
· Romans 12:9—Stay away from evil, and cleave to good
· Romans 12:13—serve others
· Romans 12:16—do not judge others; “be of the same mind one toward another”
· Romans 12:21—overcome evil with good
· Romans 13:1—powers are ordained by God
· Romans 13:3—do good
· Romans 13:8—love one another
· Romans 13:9—keep the commandments
Review Romans 14:1-13; 15:1-3. Then write answers to the following questions:
· What cautions did Paul give about judging?
It is not our responsibility to judge others, therefore we shouldn’t judge. It is the Lord who has the ability to do so.
· People may have different opinions and practices, but what is most important to remember?
Not to judge them for their practices, and respect them. I know I would not want to be judge for what I believe in.
· What additional insight comes from reading D&C 38:25-27?
What I took from it is that we should all see others as equals, as we are all equally loved by our Father in Heaven. Therefore, we shouldn’t judge others for what they have or what they don’t have.
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.
He referred to them as saints. Maybe this has no relevance, but it also makes me realize that today, we are known as “latter-day saints.” We are in the last days until Jesus comes again.
