Romans In The New Testament

516 Words3 Pages

The New Testament has many great writings about the love that God and Jesus has for us, but the one that captures my attention is Romans. I find this one more inspirational, because it tells us the symbol of Jesus sacrificial death and has Paul’s most powerful writings. Romans was written near the end of Paul’s third missionary and it was the first of the epistles. It contains 16 chapters, 433 verses, written by Paul in the 57 A.D., 6th of Paul’s 13 books, 6th book in the New Testament, and 45th book in the Bible.
Romans writings share Jesus journey to his sacrificial death and also talks about how Jesus gave priesthood to the Gentiles, so the Gentiles can become an offering to God sanctified, by the Holy Spirit. It shares in Romans the four important doctrines which is righteousness, justification, election, and sanctification. …show more content…

Also Martin Luther also said, “This epistle is the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest gospel… it can never be read or pondered too much, and the more it is dealt with, the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes”. Finally, the last of them who commented on Romans was Meyer and he said, “the greatest and the richest of all apostolic works.”
Some comparison in other books in the Bible with Romans are Genesis saying Abraham being the patriarch of Israel, Galatians with is speaking of justification by our faith, and James which is showing us fruit of salvation than Romans saying root of salvation for good works. The most common comparison to Romans is Galatians, because they have the same theme such as salvation from sin and talking about Law. Also Law is used in Galatians and Romans, because it tells us about slavery, death, and sin. After awhile it says that Jesus Christ releasing us from Law , because sin is no longer out controller our controller is under

    It allowed people to see that Christianity, like the worship of multiple gods in paganism, led to success. Christianity also unified the military during Constantine’s rule by giving them a single reason to fight. The positives expressed in Eusebius writing express the greatness of Christianity. When in reality, Julian pointing out the issues brought upon the Roman empire caused by the introduction of Christianity states otherwise. When he writes, “For you do not take notice whether any mention is made by the Jews of holiness, but you emulate their rage and their bitterness, overturning temples and altars, and cutting the throats not only of those who remain firm in paternal institutes…”

One of its strongest points was the discussion of the rhetoric of Paul's argument.

  • Romans 1: Paul Greeting The Church In Rome

    326 Words  | 2 Pages

    Romans 1-4 Summary Romans 1 begins with Paul greeting the church in Rome, this included telling the church of the encouraging things he had heard about them. I believe the main reason why Paul started this letter off with encouragements was because he wanted to make it clear to the Roman church that they were doing well. However, he also talked about God 's anger against sin because he wanted them to remember that though they were saved, that did not mean God would not be angered by sinful acts. Continuing on Paul warns that they should not condemn anyone of sinning because they are just as guilty, and he explains how the Law is not what saves anyone, but rather acceptance of Christ and obedience to God. This part is so important because it

  • How Did Paul Write Romans

    1892 Words  | 8 Pages

    The book of Romans is an exposition in the gospels which is set against law bound believers, who believe the law requires a totally submissive nature. These believers (Jews and Gentiles) believe that the only way to better and move forward in the faith is to regard this law with submission. For Paul, this is the opposite of what he was writing about. This belief undermines the foundation of the gospel message, and also undermines the believer himself before God. Paul is most concerned about how the believers go about obeying the law and fulfilling it in the correct manner.
