Romans Versea By Verse

CHRISTIANITY IS NOT FICTIONAL BUT FACTUAL - IT IS NOT THEATRICAL BUT THEOLOGY.

The entire book of Romans is summed up in one statement: Salvation By Grace.

Paul begins this epistle with three essentials:
#1: The Implicitly Of The Gospel - Romans 1:16 Our Surety
#2: The Simplicity Of The Gospel - Romans 5:8 Our Security
#3: The Complicity Of The Gospel - Romans 10:13 Our Serenity
These three essentials form the basis of our study.

1. FACT OF CONVERSION - VS1 ...Paul a servant... Note The Reality Of Salvation -
A. LOYALTY - vs.1a ...servant...
B. LISTENING ...1b ...called... A Call To The Right...
<> Right PERCEPTION ...to be... A Right Being = A Right Doing
<> Right PURPOSE ...an apostle...

2. FACT OF CONVEYING - VS2; Ps 33:11; Hebrews 1:1,2
A. God Conveys His Surety - Heb.1:2a. ...had...
B. God Conveys His Sincerity - Heb.1:2b ...promised...
C. God Conveys His Serenity - Heb.1:2c ...the holy scriptures...-

3. FACT OF CONCERN - VS.3,6-
THE BIBLE'S CHIEF CONCERN:
a. Incarnation Of Christ VS.3 - DEITY-GOD. -
b. Declaration Of Christ - VS.4 See Acts 4:12-
c. Salvation In Christ - vs.5a-
d. Sanctification By Christ - 5b,6
----------------------------

THE WORK OF SALVATION IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE PAUL WAS CONVERTED
THE WORK OF SANCTIFICATION IS IMPORTANT PAUL WAS CONFIDENT
THE WORK OF SATISFACTION IS IMPACTING PAUL WAS CONTENT TO CONTINUE

Faithfulness to the Word of God accepts the fact that there are no other reserves to draw upon. Jesus Christ demands that all our efforts in and through life must draw from the riches of His grace (2 Corinthians 12:7,9). All other means apart from the stern and sure admonition of God's Word will only leave us unpredictable, discontented and irrational. We are afforded God's demand to reject any and all substitutes for the Word of God. The Holy Spirit will never make this a matter of debate. God's Word and our obedience to it is the only thinking that pleases God (Eccl. 12:13). Amen!
