The book of Romans is written as a letter to the Roman church. The overall theme of the book is about the Gospel of Christ (Ross, 8). Paul wants his readers to know that they should not be ashamed by the Gospel and they will find righteousness in Christ. They must speak boldly about the Lord and find their confidence in Him. We must put the flesh to death and live by the Spirit

The seventh chapter of Romans remains one of the more controversial sections of Paul’s final letter. This paper will attempt to provide a unique interpretation and of vv14-25 . This section is rhetorically and stylistically challenging, and there is no consensus as to audience, or meaning. It might be seen as offering up a very low anthropology, and a pessimistic view of the human condition. Even the central question of who is thought to be speaking in the majority of the chapter remains a hotly contested question. Nevertheless, in the face of perceived ambiguity, the speaker of Romans Chapter 7 offers an insight into the deep schism of action and thought that is found in each human mind, which can only be escaped through the grace and

Paul then enlightens humanity as one, to the nature and mission of Jesus Christ in Romans 8:3-4 KJV. That through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ the bondage of sin has been broken, that the world might be saved.

The book of Romans is known as one of the most significant apostolic letter. But while Romans is considered a basis for many theological and philosophical questions, the book of Romans is not a systematic theology, it is an occasional letter. Which means it was written to deal with specific situations. Paul wrote a letter to the believers at Rome that explains the gospel and defends a Biblical worldview. A worldview is just what it sounds like, it is how you view the world and what you believe the answers are to the questions that every human ponders. Having a Biblical worldview means that you believe everything that is in the Word of God and act accordingly. The book of Romans covers many different topics that defend a biblical worldview.

As Christians our human identity is found in knowing Christ, but it also comes from knowing our true nature. During Paul’s time the Jews still considered themselves better than the Gentiles even though Gentiles were being converted and were becoming members of the church. In Romans 3: 9-20 Paul says that because everyone sins no one is any better than another person. This means that the Jews were no better than the Gentiles because, just like the Gentiles, the Jews also sinned. Although the Gentiles didn’t have the law while, the Jews did, Paul states that whether humanity has the law or not, they are all condemned. Simply following the law does not save anyone, it merely shows us how sinful we are, and how desperately we need

Holy living is one of the more difficult aspects of the Christian life, and in chapter five in his epistle to the church in Galatia, Paul exhorts this living. This exhortation is especially seen in verses 16-18, when Paul contrasts a life in walking in the Spirit as opposed to the flesh. The difficulty for a Christian, Paul points out, is that there will always be a struggle between the desires of the flesh and fruits of the spirit. He sets up this exhortation in v.16-18 with a statement in v.13, he says “For you were called to freedom….do not use your freedom for an opportunity for the flesh, but through love.” This is message that would have contrasted a false teaching of works of the flesh at that time in Galatia, and this message would have been a correction of that teaching.

Paul Jesus’ work concerned adjudicating the covenant God established with Abraham which was later mediated by the law given to Moses by God. (Lecture 2). In Old Testament days, there was great emphasis on obeying the letter of the law. Jesus taught the spirit of the law. In Paul’s theology, salvation comes through God saving one from one’s sin and thereby saving one from the demands of the law. Being justified by faith in Christ rather than by one’s fulfillment of the law means being open to loving others for who they are, humans made in God’s image. (Lecture 2).

Paul presents his readers with a clear and simple thesis in the first three books of Romans: mankind is inherently in opposition to God, “none is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks God” (3:10-11). The whole of his teaching from 1:18-3:20 is

Paul has used the law in many circumstances throughout his epistles. He also discusses the implications of the law and its relation to believers. Paul’s view on the law has been a conversation held by many New Testament scholars. Some suggest that Paul’s views on the law is inconsistent throughout the epistles but by a careful analysis will show that his views are complementary rather than inconsistent. A main issue that Paul argued was that we are justified by faith in Christ and not by doing the works of the law. Paul view of the law was that nobody can be saved by obedience to the law but only by faith in Christ can one be saved.

The Book of Romans is a very powerful book in the Bible. Paul wrote the Romans, primarily due to the lost souls of unbelievers during that time. Paul’s message was clear about the righteousness of God through, from and designed for faith.

I chose to write my exegetical paper on Philippians 3:12-21. Before writing this paper I was not entirely familiar with the life of Paul and the reasons for his letters. It was an interesting study once I understood the background and reasoning for Paul’s writings. Paul wrote Philippians while in prison. His priority was always on the advancement of Christ. He was completely unconcerned about his lack of comfort or the situation he was in while in prison. His thoughts were solely on the cause of Christ and encouraging the Philippians to continue their mission regardless of the persecution they were facing. He expressed that he was not held captive by literal chains but by the chains for Christ. His captivity would serve as encouragement to others who were spreading the gospel.

I chose to write my paper on Philippians 3:12-21. Before writing this paper I was not entirely familiar with the reasons for Paul’s letters to the church of Philippi. It was an interesting study once I understood the background and reasoning for Paul’s writings. Paul writes a thank you letter to the Christians at Philippi for their contributions and support in his hour of need, and he uses the occasion to send along some instructions on Christian unity. Paul is also giving them an update on his circumstances. Most of Paul’s letter to the church of Philippi dealt with areas such as joy, rejoice, praise, thankfulness, and attitude.

The phrase “righteousness of God” has left scholars searching for exactly what Paul is trying to describe in verse 17 of Romans 1. This phrase is actually the epitome of Paul’s message in his letters and requires all the attention it is receiving. Commentators look at the historical and social context to understand what Paul was trying to say. Since Paul’s letters were to be read aloud to the congregation, they had to be clear enough so that there would be no need to stop and contemplate. Quite ironically, this is now where we find ourselves today, turning our wheels trying to figure out exactly what Paul meant when he said the “righteousness of God”. We are going to look at two main interpretations first, the subjective and the objective, then the last interpretation of this verse, which I agree with, that actually turns all the other arguments on their heads.

Paul presents in the unit before this that all of God’s people are saved by the grace of God and anyone is welcomed into the God’s kingdom as long as they believe. Paul prepares the readers by showing the condemnation of the gospel but then shows grace in the unit after to build those reading back up. The gospel is not meant to be feared but Paul wants the Romans to understand the seriousness of it. This transitions very well into this new unit because it personifies how you can experience this grace. Paul symbolizes the many different forms of sin we live with and how Christ has overcome them all and thus we are a changed person through Him. After seeing the power of God’s grace the unit Paul writes next is how the grace is defended in the gospel.
