In the Bible, what does the book of Romans teach?

Answer 1

Romans - Some Info

Writer: The Apostle Paul (Rom_1:1).

Language written in : Greek

Date: Romans, the sixth in chronological order of Paul's Epistles, was written from Corinth during the apostle's third visit to that city. 2Co_13:1 in A.D. 60.

As some erroneously believe it was not written to Roman Catholics, but to the believers in ancient Rome.

Though this epistle is in order placed the first of the epistles, yet it was not first written: there were several epistles written before it, as the two epistles to the Thessalonians, the two to the Corinthians, the first epistle to Timothy, and that to Titus: the reason why this epistle stands first, is that it is considered to be THE BEST of Paul's epistles.

Chrysostom, an early Church father had so great an esteem that he caused it to be read over to him twice a week;
Luther said of The Romans, "It is the chief part of the New Testament." Meyer, that it is "the grandest, boldest, most complete composition of Paul." Godet terms it "the cathedral of the Christian faith." That it should be what Coleridge says, "the most profound work in existence"

Theme: The theme of Romans is "the Gospel of God"

seven parts of the Romans

1.The whole world guilty before God (Romans 1:18 - 3:20).

2.Justification through the righteousness of God by faith, the Gospel remedy for guilt (Romans 3:21 - 5:11).

3.Crucifixion with Christ, the resurrection life of Christ, and the walk in the Spirit, the Gospel provision for inherent sin (Romans 5:12 - 8:13).

4.The full result in blessing of the Gospel (Romans 8:14-39).

5.Parenthesis: the Gospel does not abolish the covenant promises to Israel (Romans 9:1 - 11:36).

6.Christian life and service (Romans 12:1 - 15:33).

7.The outflow of Christian love (Romans 16:1-27).

Answer 2

The Book of Romans what I have read teaches alot about the the Moses Law and the Ten Commandments. Some of the converted Jews at the time wanted to practice the Moses law still but Paul had to tell them that it was done away with but also that the ten commandments is still binding else he wouldn't know sin.

Answer 3

The book of Romans was written by Paul. I'm going to read this straight out of my Bible, "Paul's primary theme in Roman's is the basic gospel, God's plan of salvation and righteousness for all humankind, Jew and Gentile alike. Although justification by faith has been suggested by some theme, it would seem that a broader theme states the message of the book adequately. 'Righteousness from God' includes justification by faith, but also embraces such related ideas as guilt, sanctification and security."

Answer 4

Doctrine. The doctrine of what Christ has done for us and how to be saved. It is written partly to the gentiles (Those not born of God). Partly to the Jews, and partly to the church of God. It teaches the doctrine and practical of not only how to be saved, but also the walk of the believer (at least the first part of that walk). There is a lot more than this but not enough space to tell it all. I could write a whole series of books on it and still not even scratch the surface of what it teaches.

Answer 5

The book of Romans is actually the second book after the four gospels. It's not so much a continuation of the gospels as an explanation of Jesus. It tells you about the meaning behind Jesus' life, and his relationship with us.

Answer 6

The central theme is God’s righteousness and that you are saved by grace through your faith.

Romans is formatted in the normal letter style of the time period. Paul first greets and introduces himself. Paul starts the letter by describing the “need of God’s righteousness” for Gentiles (Rom 1:18-32), Jews (Rom. 2:1-3:8), and all of mankind (Rom. 3:9-20) (MacArthur 1690). Paul then proceeds to discuss justification through faith that describes how mankind may receive the blessings of God’s righteousness (Rom. 3:21-5:21). Paul continues to explain how through sanctification through Jesus, we may be free from sin. He ensures that adherence to laws alone will not free you, but only through Jesus’ sacrifice (Rom. 6:1-8:39). Paul explains how Israel is not rejected by God, but they have put their faith in works and not in faith alone. Israel is not totally lost as Paul points out in Rom. 11:5 “Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.” Paul finally provides actions that a practicing Christian should do to reflect the righteousness of God (Rom. 12:1-15:13). Paul closes the letter to the Romans through greetings and a benediction.

Answer 7

Romans touches on a ton of different things, but it's mostly about justification through grace by faith. It talks a lot about Jewish law and Gentiles and circumcision of the heart and the true meaning of Christianity and hospitality and brotherly love.

Answer 8

It's the longest of Paul's New Testament letters, so it teaches lots of things.

One important thing it discusses is salvation through faith in Christ.

I don't want to spoil the rest ... so go read it!

Answer 9

All have sinned and come short of the glory of God!
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be Saved!

Answer 10

Salvation and the way we as Christians should live
