13. Romans 1:1-17- A Reading and Study Questions- Greeting, A Longing to Visit Rome, and The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

Why Read Romans? Because it is my jam! Actually, because many consider this to be the greatest literary works of all time. It lays out the Gospel, salvation, and God’s love to ALL people who come to Him. It helped me tremendously as I tend to want to be an overachiever, depend on works for worth, and have a past of believing that is how you gain God’s favor. But Romans says otherwise. Our salvation comes from what He has already done for us, not what we will ever do. We must die in the flesh, accept His gift of Grace and be reborn in the spirit of Jesus Christ. That is Romans and it is amazing. In this passage… Paul gives an opening statement. He explains who he is and who he is in Christ. He is an apostle of God on a mission to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He then explains his desire to visit Rome and why. He wants to bless them with spiritual gifts and in turn, be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. He plans to bring the Gospel to all, Jews and Gentiles alike. Then he explains the intent of the letter- the power of God’s Salvation to everyone who believes. Faith.
