ROMANS 1:7<\/b><\/p>\n
To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ<\/i><\/p>\n
(Romans 1:7)<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Since February we have been considering the epistle of Paul to the Romans. Today, let\u2019s review the entire book.<\/p>\n
Chapter 1: All men have a knowledge of God from general revelation, and this renders all men guilty, since all men reject this revelation. Chapter 2: The Jews are guilty of rejecting God\u2019s law as well, and thus are doubly guilty. Chapter 3: Since no man can be saved by his own righteousness, justification can only be by faith in the work of Jesus Christ. Chapter 4: The chief Old Testament example is Abraham, who was saved by faith. Chapter 5: The fruit of this justification is peace with God. Chapter 6: Free grace gives no license for sin, but rather provides resurrection power for a new life of righteousness. Chapter 7: Our regeneration produces a struggle against indwelling sin. Chapter 8: The Holy Spirit works with us in the war against sin, and guarantees us our final victory in the resurrection.<\/p>\n
Chapter 9: Our security in Christ is grounded in God\u2019s choice of us, not our choice of Him. Chapter 10: God brings His elect people to Himself by means of evangelism and the preaching of the Gospel. Chapter 11: God has taken the Gospel to the Gentiles now, but there will come a time when Israel will also receive it.<\/p>\n
Chapter 12: Paul shifts from theological exposition to practical application. The appropriate response to such a great salvation is to present ourselves as living sacrifices and transformed people in the community of the church. Chapter 13: Believers live in submission to the civil magistrate. Chapter 14: Weak and strong believers need to live in harmony, understanding each other. Chapter 15: The apostle to the Gentiles hopes to visit Rome soon. Chapter 16: Paul gives greetings to the saints, and warnings against wolves.<\/p>\n
