Over the next two months I will be studying Paul’s epsitle to the Romans and will share some of the experience and what I find on this journey.
Romans is a remarkable book and answers many questions concerning God and man. Some of these questions are: What is the good news of God? Is Jesus really God? What is God like? How can God send people to hell? Why do men reject God and Jesus Christ? Why are there false religions and idols? What is man’s biggest sin? Why are there sex perversions, hatred, crime, dishonesty and all the other evils in the world? What is the standard by which God condemns people? How can a person who has never heard the gospel be held accountable? How good is man? How evil is man? How can a sinner be forgiven? How is a Christian related to Abraham? What is the importance of Christ’s death? What is the importance of Christ’s resurrection? For whom did Christ die? Where can men find real peace and hope? What is grace? How are God’s law and God’s grace related? What is the Christians relation to sin? How important is obedience in the Christian life? Why is living a faithful Christian life such a struggle?
Have any of these questions grabbed your attention yet?
What does the Holy Spirit do for the believer? Why is there suffering? Will the world ever be different? What are election and predestination? How can Christians pray properly? How secure is salvation? What is God’s present and future plan for Israel? What is the Christian’s relation to the world? What is genuine love? How do Christians deal with issues that are neither right nor wrong? What is true freedom? How important is unity in the Church?
Over the course of the following studies, I will attempt to expound answers to some of these questions in a series of articles.
