The Book Of Romans By Apostle Paul

The Book of Philippians is a letter of appreciation of and gratitude for the fellowship and support received from the church in Philippi written by the Apostle Paul while he was still imprisoned in Rome. In verses 12-14 he reminds them that he had not committed any crime deserving of imprisonment, but he was in prison solely because he was a follower of Jesus Christ and had been sharing the Gospel throughout Rome. He wanted them to understand that even though there was a possibility of him losing his life that they should not be frightened by this because ultimately this circumstance served to further the advancement of the gospel.

has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved”. Then 2 Corinthians 5:17 continues with “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new”. So, if we have been justified by our faith and now sanctified through the Spirit we are free from Sin, the Law and Spiritual Death. The Holy Spirit allows us to have victory over sin. It allows us to be adopted into the royal family and we can inherit the rights of God. It also, let us know that we will receive more suffering in this Christian life but we have God and Jesus to help us through it because it only makes us stronger. Lastly, the Spirit let us know that we have a secure relationship with God and his love if we continue to have the faith in God. As believer to know all of this we must give God the praise and glory every time we get a chance to thank him, because he does so much for us own our behalf.

Paul’s letter to the Romans can be broken down into four major sections. Within each of these sections there is a single compelling issue. Within the context of these respective issues, several interpretive questions can be answered through the interpretative process. These answers help us to understand how to apply the spiritual principals to our lives, as well as, help us compel other individuals to apply these spiritual principles within their lives.

With regards to the natural world, Romans states that “For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God” (Romans 1:20, NLT). The world was made perfect from God’s hands and science taken the credit away from Him and given it to Evolution other erroneous ideas. It goes on to say they thought foolishly of what God was like and eventually became lost and confused. So instead of worshipping God, they worshiped idols and God abandoned them to do whatever their hearts wished (Romans 1:21-24). People in this world are no different from those in Paul’s days. The idols people worship today range from people, statues, wealth, material things, etc. It may not be the physical and literal act of bowing down to those things but in their actions, it’s clear that that’s all their minds are set on. Verses 25-32 is a perfect example of how people live; a perfect example of how we are not to live. Naturally we are all sinners but because of Jesus we can be forgiven for those sins and free from

In order to completely understand the meaning of Romans chapter 8, verses 1-4, one must comprehend the full meaning of the book. To be able to do so, one must first know the historical context, the author, and the first recipients of the manuscript. The book of Romans was written by the apostle Paul to the church in Rome. He wrote it on his third missionary trip, probably in 60 A.D. The church there had already existed for a number of years and had an immense multitude of Christians. The congregation were not recent converts, they had been properly instructed, and seemed to be organized and well-grounded. The Roman church had a large Jewish population as well as Gentiles who had been converted from paganism, both free and slaves. The general theme of the book of Romans is about the Gospel of Christ. Paul wanted his readers to understand how a sinner may be seen as righteous by God, as well as how a redeemed sinner should daily live to the glory of God. Romans can be described as a clarification of the Old Testament in view of the Gospel of Christ, which explains how sinful people can gain access to heaven through sacrificial atonement. The focus of Israel’s sacrificial system was the same, so it is no surprise that the book pulls from the pattern of those ancient sacrifices (Introduction to the Book).

God’s images are significant individuals that are followers of God. People have faith and keep God as the head of

The Romans view on religions continued to change over the years of the empire. Roman views on religion were constantly changing throughout the history of the empire. At the beginning, Christianity was thought of as something that should not be allowed. Christians were persecuted and punished by the Romans for their contradicting beliefs. Later, in the fourth century, Christianity started to become acceptable and more people were converting from other religions. Christianity can be seen as something that helped the empire come together and stop the “war” of religions.

In ancient time a new religion started to develop, they named it Christianity (a cult). Christians believe in one god and that he is the ruler and creator of the world. They believed that the son of god, Jesus was sent on earth to take away all the sins that mankind has committed from the very beginning of time when Adam and Eve’s first sinned till the time of his second coming. The Christians believed that Jesus son of god died on the cross for our sins. Religion was very important to the Romans.

In Paul’s last work, the letters to the Romans, it is clear that Paul has an important message to send to the Church at Rome. He writes to the Romans knowing the tumultuous state of the Church due to the factions of Jewish-Christians and Gentile-Christians. The letters to the Romans are the earliest evidence of a church in Rome, even though it was divided. The general theme of Romans is that both Jewish and Gentile Christians can experience the righteousness of God despite the law of Moses. Romans 3: 21-26 succinctly demonstrates Paul’s message to the Roman church about the righteousness of God.

In the book of Romans Paul has a primarily focus of writing to the Jews and Gentiles living in Rome. In a time of deep despair Paul sends letters of hope and encouragement to a group living in a hostile environment relatable to missionaries overseas worshipping to those who might not be ready or accepting of the word. Faith is mentioned and concentrated on throughout Romans and is studied in depth which leads to the way of salvation for the sinful hearts of Rome.

Paul was the author of the letter of Romans. Although there was a scribe who penned much of Paul’s words for him. Paul was staying in Greece when he wrote the letter to the Romans of the church of Corinth. While writing this letter he was also planning his trip to Jerusalem. Romans was written during Paul’s third missionary trip according to Acts 20:2-3, probably in the year AD 57 according to our text book.

The book of Romans is considered, by many in Christianity, to be the greatest book comprised in the Holy Bible. This is a very strong view to hold, considering the great details of Jesus and His ministry that are given in the book of Luke, the direct, to the point style of truth written by James, and the great lessons of faith in Hebrews. The other books in the New Testament are all great within themselves also but, Romans is very distinctive in itself. Written by the Apostle Paul, Romans can be viewed as the Christian Life handbook or the Christianity 101 manual. When we read Romans, we can see that Paul took every thought and possible counter thought by any

The Book of Romans Romans is a very important addition to the Bible. This is written by Paul to the Roman church. Much of Romans is showing the righteousness of God in different ways. “Romans road” passages are a great description of how to lead someone to christ (His saving righteousness).

With regards to the natural world, Romans 1:20 clearly states that “For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God” (NLT). The world was made perfect from God’s hands and science taken the credit away from Him and given it to Evolution other erroneous ideas. It goes on to say they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. They thought of foolish ideas of what God was like and eventually became lost. Instead of worshipping God, they worshiped idols and God abandoned them to do whatever their hearts wished (Romans 1:21-24). People in this world are no different from those in Paul’s days. The idols people worship today range from people, statues, wealth, material things, etc. It may not look like they bow down to those things but that’s all their minds are set on. Verses 25-32 is a perfect example of how people live; a perfect example of how we are not to live.

Galatians and Romans were the two books that broke the rule enriched religion of the Jewish people. These books written by Paul allowed the rules of the Torah to not stand over them in order for them to be with God. These two books bridged the gap from Jewish to Christianity. The rules of the Torah rule the Jews even until today. Paul swept away all of Torah’s requirements including dietary and circumcision requirements which was a very large part of the rules. These two books transform the laws that were the way to the living by faith thru Christ.
