1.) How has the practice of ministry affected your experience and understanding of: a.) God—The practice of ministry has given me numerous opportunities to interact with people at different stages in life’s journey…birth, death, marriage, divorce, sorrow, struggle, celebration, and so much more. These relationships have allowed me to see God at work in the everyday world. I have seen God as Comforter for the grieving as a wife mourns the loss of her husband of 55 years. I have seen God as Liberator for the oppressed as the church works toward helping those placed on the outskirts of society experience God’s amazing grace for them in so many different ways. I have seen God’s salvation through the struggles of a women facing life’s end as she struggled to forgive herself and embrace the grace God already had in place for her since before she was born. I have also see God as the Uncomfortable Agitator of the self-centered as people who think they have it all figured out begin to once again struggle with what it means to be a child of God and truly love one another in this world. As I continue through ministry, I am faced with the stark reality that my understanding of God is so minuscule in its breadth. God does not fit in the boxes we try to place God in. As I
Romans: The book of Romans was a written letter by Paul to the Romans. In Romans 1:1 (Authorized King James Version) it says, “Paul a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God.” Paul wrote the longest ever recorded letter to the Romans around 56-58 AD while in Corinth, however, there is still no definitive date found. (Malick, David (2004). Romans. Retrieved from http://bible.org If Paul had a chance to visit Rome, the key purpose to that visit would have been to assure the saints in Rome that the coming of Jesus Christ was indeed the fulfillment of God’s promises in the Old Testament. (Preface Authorized King James Version). Paul went on to preach the Gospel to those in Rome to include the Jews and Gentiles.
We, living today almost 2,000 years later, are blessed to have these letters to teach us the inspiring truths of God. We are the receivers of Paul’s spiritual wisdom undeterred by personal suffering. Philippians (4:12). Paul was in an precarious position.
Dated approximately A.D. 57, Paul addresses Christians in Rome. Because of friction regarding the Jews, and proclamation regarding Christ, the emperor in A.D. 49, exiled all Jews. Upon their later return Paul writes Christians in Rome. It is written that “we require a theme as broad as the gospel to encompass the diversity of topics the apostle handles in the letter.”
Introduction A major situation confronting Paul during ancient times was trying to make sense of the barriers between Jews and Gentiles. Ultimately, the solution to breaking the barrier comes through Christ alone. Christ died for all humankind not just one kind. This view of Christ as the true solution is also the answer to the oppositions in the book of Romans. Two major oppositions are seen in Romans 8:1-11, between good and evil and spirit and flesh. Paul, who confronts many issues in Rome, cannot resolve these oppositions. Rather, "he proclaims liberation from the existential rupture in human nature, formulated by means of the figures that express opposition between flesh and the spirit, through participation in Christ." Romans 8:1-11 proves that living in the Spirit results in ultimate freedom and everlasting life. This freedom in the Spirit then means that the bondage of the law of sin and death is released.
