Hello everyone. I am very excited to be starting this journey with you. The Epistle (or letter) to the Roman church by Paul is such a tremendous work that you could even call it Christianity 101! It is all there: the general revelaiton of God to all mankind, the conviction of sin of all, the nature of sin, the nature of salvation and santification, and practical application. As we go through this marvelous book we will find treasures along the way but the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow will be a deeper richer understanding of the glory of the Triune God in all His attributes.
This blog will be using the New American Standard Bible and will be from a Reformed or otherwise known as Calvinist prespective. I welcome all comments and discussion if there are any questions or disagreements as debate is one of the surest ways to coming to the absolute truth.
Also, while Romans will be the primary focus of the blog, I will also be branching off to other parts of the Bible that are referenced to so that we will be able to get the most complete picture of what the Holy Spirit was and is communicating through the Apostle Paul.
Next post I will go into the who, what, where, why, and when of the book and after that we will go into the meat of it. I hope and pray that we are all blessed by this work.
Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.
Amen
