Salvation of the Triune God (4)       [Romans 8:1-4]                        Look at Romans 8:4 – “ so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”   Leviticus 16 speaks of the Day of Atonement.   It is a day to offer a sin offering that is only held once a year.   The high priest (Aaron) (v. 3) entered the Most Holy only once a year to offer a sin offering, and he chose two male goats for a sin offering (v. 5) and put them before the LORD at the door of the tent of meeting (v. 7), and lots were cast for the two goats.   One lot was made for the LORD, and one lot was made for the scapegoat (Azazel) (v. 8).   Here, “the scapegoat” (Azazel) is a compound word of “to depart” (“azal”) and “goat” (“ez”), apparently meaning “to leave” or “to send”.   Or it seems to...

Salvation of the Triune God (3)       [Romans 8:1-4]                       Look at Romans 8:3-4: “For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”  Here, the word “For” is a conjunction that introduces detailed explanations by taking over the previous verse, Romans 8:1-2.  Look at verse 2: “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.”  Before we believed in Jesus, when we were enslaved by the law (power) of sin and of death, it was the time when we died in trespasses and sins (Eph. 2:1).   That is, we were spiritually dead and were...

Salvation of the Triune God (2)       [Romans 8:1-4]                        Today, I would like to meditate on the salvation of God the Holy Spirit among the “Salvation of the Triune God.”   Look at Romans 8:2 – “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.”  Is the Holy Spirit God?  The reason I ask this question is because some people are saying that the Holy Spirit is not God.  They claim that the Holy Spirit is ‘the power of God’.  But the Bible says that the Holy Spirit is God.  Look at Acts 5:3-4: “But Peter said, ‘Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?  While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own?  And after it was sold, was it not under your control?  Why is it that you have co...

  Salvation of the Triune God (1)       [Romans 8:1-4]                          I would like to meditate on the Word of God under the title “Salvation of the Triune God” focusing on Romans 8:1-4.  God the Father, Jesus the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one God.    Romans 8:1 says “Christ Jesus” (God the Son), verse 2 “the Spirit” (God the Holy Spirit), and verse 3 “God” (God the Father).  Today, I would like to think about the salvation of the Son Jesus in the “Salvation of the Triune God (1)”                   Look at Romans 8:1 – “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”   “Christ Jesus” is the Son of God [“His Son” (1:2, 3)].  Jesus, the only begotten Son of God the Father, became a man [“according to ...
