Ladies Bible Study

Ladies Bible Study

I pray the Lord will bless our continued study of Romans this year. All are invited. Praise God for Savior, the second Adam, who makes us righteous by his obedience!! I highly recommend the Bible commentaries of John Calvin and Matthew Henry on the verses. I have attached a few thoughts of my own. Below are the discussion questions that will generally guide our study.

To Clarify, Encourage, and Apply

1. What is meant by saying that Adam is our covenant head?

2. What is the meaning of “all sinned” in verse 12?

3. Since there was no written law, why did men die in the era between Adam and Moses?

4. In what ways is the free gift of God’s grace greater than the offense and condemnation in Adam?

5. What are the parallels between Adam and Christ? How do they help us understand the gospel and specifically the way we are reckoned righteous before God?

6. What is the significance of Christ’s obedience?

7. Explain “made righteous.” (v. 19) Compare the phrase with “made sinners.”

8. Why the future tense in the second “made righteous” in verse 19?

9. How does the entering in of the law made grace abound?

10. What does it mean to say that “grace reigns by Jesus Christ? Define grace.

11. What is the importance of adding “through righteousness?”

12. How does the analogy between Adam and Christ help us understand world history? Ourselves? Our need of Christ and the gospel?
