Recently, I was blessed through my employer of a substantial bonus and I was convicted to give a $1,000.00 dollars for the purchased of that tent or whatever purpose you want to use it to spread the gospel. just message me back or i can give you a call, whatever is convenient for you.

Freedom from the law! For 2,000 years, Pauls letter to the Romans has proclaimed the news that every guilty person should long for. We dont have to run from the law of God for the rest of our liveshounded by the barking

Knowing God through ROMANS

God offers freedom. He offers immunity. He offers pardon. And if He is for us, who can be against us?

RomE
ROME: WHERE ALL ROADS LED New York, Moscow, London, Paris, China. Today each has its own international power and influence. But in the days of the first Christians, Rome had that kind of prestige all to herself. The very mention of her name spelled fear.

RomE
Her disciplined soldiers had brought vast territories under her domination. Her Caesars controlled the fate of millions. Few were beyond her reach and no one escaped her taxes. Her name was on every lip.

RomE
The ambitious, the power-hungry, the charlatans, the bloodthirsty, the opportunistic were drawn to Rome as bugs to the light. Sometime during his life, every young adventurer, every hard-driving businessman, and every soldier of fortune would find himself in Rome.

RomE
It was said in ancient days that all roads led to Rome. It was the hub of a sprawling military and political network that reached to the remote corners of Europe, spread out across Africa, dominated the Middle East, and pushed into the Orient.

RomE
Founded in 753 BC, the City of Seven Hills soon flourished. By New Testament days it boasted a million inhabitants, more than any city of its time. Magnificent buildings, huge arenas, marble palaces, and splendid gardens gave witness to its wealth.

RomE
The gospel too had come to Rome! No one is certain how it first arrived. Some believe that Peter established the church at Rome, but history has proved that a church was already there when he arrived. Others say that it was founded in a joint effort by Peter and Paul, but the evidence does not bear that out.

RomE
Most likely the church at Rome was started by wandering Jewish Christians perhaps even by some who had been in Jerusalem at Pentecost and who had carried the message of the risen Christ home with them. Or it may have been started by believers who had a vision of Romes importance or a deep concern for those who lived in the shadow of Caesars palace.

RomE
The apostle Paul, residing in Corinth about AD 56, was bringing his third missionary journey to a close. He wanted to travel to Rome, but he would soon be leaving for Palestine, carrying gifts from the churches to the impoverished brethren in Jerusalem.

RomE
Though his steps were headed east, Pauls heart was centered in the west. He wanted to start down one of the roads that led to Rome. But he was stopped. So he did the next best thing. He took up his pen and began to write.

The book of Romans is the cathedral of the Christian faith.

PAUL
When Paul sat down to write his letter to the Christians in Rome, his heart was burning. He was consumed by his love for God and his call to carry his message of freedom to Jew and Gentile alike.

PAUL
He wanted men and women everywhere to be filled with the praise and knowledge of God that he had experienced. With such a world mission in view, he knew well the strategic importance of the church in the empires capital city.

PAUL
So he wrote to Rome. And when he did, the Spirit of God inspired a masterpiece! The book of Romans is a letter both theological and practical, both philosophic and intensely personal, both God-centered and man-directed. Its a book of great value, a book that has earned the respect and admiration of the world.

Romans BOOK SURV EY

Key Verse: Romans 1:16, I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of every one who believes, first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. The Book of Romans is primarily a work of doctrine and can be divided into four sections: righteousness needed, 1:183:20; righteousness provided, 3:218:39;

Romans 1:14-17
15 So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.

Romans BOOK SURV EY

The Book of Romans makes it clear that there is nothing we can do to save ourselves. Every good deed we have ever done is as a filthy rag before God. So dead in our trespasses and sins are we that only the grace and mercy of God can save us.

Romans BOOK SURV EY

God expressed that grace and mercy by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place. When we turn our lives over to Christ, we are no longer controlled by our sin nature, but we are controlled by the Spirit.

Romans BOOK SURV EY

If we make confession that Jesus is Lord, and believe that He is raised from the dead, we are saved, born again. We need to live our lives offered to God as a living sacrifice to Him. Worship of the God who saved us should be our highest desire.

Romans BOOK SURV EY

Perhaps the best application of Romans would be to apply Romans 1:16 and not be ashamed of the gospel. Instead, let us all be faithful in proclaiming it!
