Live as Saints Should Live

Review Romans 13:11 and look for what is “nearer.” Read Ezekiel 3:20; Doctrine and Covenants 14:7; and explain in writing what we must continue doing to work out our salvation.
                             
Our Salvation is nearer than we all think. Reading Ezekiel and Doctrine and Covenants talks about keeping the commandments so we may be able to receive eternal life. To gain Salvation we must keep enduring and keep keeping the commandments to be able to return to him.

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:

o       Romans 12:1- We are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice and give ourselves to the Lord in service.
o       Romans 12:2- To live the world but not of it. Don't be deceived by the things that the world offers us.
o       Romans 12:9- Let go of evil and hold on to what is good.
o       Romans 12:13- Have charity and give to others.
o       Romans 12:16- Don't judge one another, see them how The Lord would see them.
o       Romans 12:21- Don't let evil take over you.
o       Romans 13:1- Worship none but God, there is no one more powerful than him.
o       Romans 13:3- Do good works.
o       Romans 13:8- Love one another.
o       Romans 13:9- Keep the commandments. 

Review Romans 14:1-13; 15:1-3. Then write answers to the following questions:

o       What cautions did Paul give about judging?
We are to not judge, only God can judge someone. We are judged according to how we judge others.
o       People may have different opinions and practices, but what is most important to remember?
We all have our agencies and we are all children of God.
o       What additional insight comes from reading Doctrine and Covenants 38:25-27?
We are all treated and look upon the same by the Lord.
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 refers members of the Church in his day as Saints.
