“Romans 1:3, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,” Jesus came to earth as God and man He was a direct descendant of King David. This is important because Jesus is the Messiah that the Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament) promised would come. This is because of the prophetic Old Testament promises that one of David’s descendants would sit on the throne of Israel forever (2 Samuel 7:12–16). In the later verses Paul emphasized that justification and salvation come not by the obedience to the law of Moses, but to those that accept Jesus, believe in Him and accept Him as Lord of their life. “1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.”. When we love God we should also love one another. “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1 John 4:20”. “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:20”. True faith in Jesus should be accompanied by good deeds; however, we can never earn our way to Heaven. God’s grace is so much that the Bible warns us not to take advantage of it by sinning in excess. Amen.
