Has anyone ever read the book of Romans in the Bible?

Question

If so, what did you learn from it? (What do you think about it?)

Answer 1

In a nutshell.....

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

"But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Answer 2

Yes.

Of all the letters of Paul, that to the Christians at Rome has long held pride of place. It is the longest and most systematic unfolding of the apostle's thought, expounding the gospel of God's righteousness that saves all who believe (Romans 1:16-17); it reflects a universal outlook, with special implications for Israel's relation to the church (Rom 9-11). Yet, like all Paul's letters, Romans too arose out of a specific situation, when the apostle wrote from Greece, likely Corinth, between A.D. 56 and 58

Paul's Letter to the Romans is a powerful exposition of the doctrine of the supremacy of Christ and of faith in Christ as the source of salvation. It is an implicit plea to the Christians at Rome, and to all Christians, to hold fast to that faith. They are to resist any pressure put on them to accept a doctrine of salvation through works of the law (see the note on Romans 10:4). At the same time they are not to exaggerate Christian freedom as an abdication of responsibility for others (Romans 12:1-2) or as a repudiation of God's law and will.

Answer 3

That is a big question, because that is a very rich book. Paul intended to teach doctrines of the Christian faith, to evangelize those in Rome, and to address practical problems of the day. Paul's theme for the book is that God's righteousness is revealed in the Gospel message. We read of other themes in particular chapters, such as justification, the struggle between the sinful and the redeemed natures, predestination, submission to authorities, unity in Christ and others.
It is an inspiring and educational book that will solidify the faith of God's children and will help the seeker to see what the Christian faith is made of.

Answer 4

The Book of Romans tells us about God, who He is and what He has done. It tells us of Jesus Christ, what His death accomplished.

It tells us about ourselves, what we were like without Christ and who we are after trusting in Christ. 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!

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.”

It is a great book to introduce to people who are not familiar with Christianity.

I hope this helps.

Answer 5

It presents a logical basis for belief in God, stating that “his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship.” But more than this, it goes on to exalt his righteousness and to make known his great mercy and undeserved kindness. This is beautifully brought to our attention through the illustration of the olive tree, in which the wild branches are grafted in when the natural branches are lopped off. In contemplation of this severity and kindness of God, Paul exclaims: “O the depth of God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments are and past tracing out his ways are!”

Answer 6

It is a letter purportedly written by Paul to the Romans. Why?

Answer 7

i believe it teaches the most important result of christs death on the cross; we are no longer under the law. i believe it is the most overlooked teaching in christianity. this is why i no longer care for the organized church. it consistently teaches law keeping. read some of luthers works(his commentary on galations, etc)

Answer 8

That no works will earn your salvation. Not keeping the Law....nothing!

Answer 9

Women have to shut their mouths!

Oppps, sorry that was Corinthians!
