1.       Romans 13:11 says that “for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” In order to work out our salvation we need to constantly repent and come unto Christ. We also need to keep the commandments and endure to the end so that we might attain eternal life.

2.       In Romans chapters 12-13 Paul taught how we can attain salvation. Here is a list of his teachings:

·         Sanctify yourselves through sacrifice

·         Allow your mind to become spiritually reborn so it coincides with the will of God

·         Love sincerely and cling to good things

·         Be hospitable

·         Conform to be as the humble are and don’t be prideful

·         Overcome evil with good

·         Be submissive and obedient to God

·         Do not be afraid of authority

·         Do not hold debts and love one another

·         Obey the commandments

3.       In talking about judging, Paul said that we are not to judge one another because that is the Lord’s job. We are here to lift each other up and to help each other grow and not to tear down our neighbors by our judgments. People have different ways of doing things, but the servant is to be judged by his own master and so we don’t need to be concerned with the judgment of their choices. We need to treat each other as we would want to be treated. We need to treat others equally.

4.       Paul called the church members of his day “saints”.
