Introduction/Thesis (approximately 75 words) I will analyze Romans chapters 1-8, I will focus on these areas of interest; the natural world, human identity, human relationship, and culture. Paul wrote the book of Romans because of the separation in the Roman society and culture. Paul, saw they fault in the society of Rome and uses this as the base for him writing the book of Romans. My world view is that the sins that were committed by the Romans in Paul’s day are still being committed in today’s society. My world view is that Rome was in a complete moral decay much like todays time, the only way to escape is through Faith in Christ The Natural World (approximately 150–200 words) In Romans chapters one and three describes clearly the state of the natural world. The natural world was formed by God through his words. God spoke the universe and everything in it into existence. God created the natural world with love, blessing and commitment. God wanted to create …show more content…

As humans, we lve in sin; relationships are made up of God as “they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy” (Romans 1:31). They are trying to live within the law, however it seems harder for them because the sinful nature created the laws. God sees the fight inside of the people as “they show that the requirement of the law the requirement of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them” (Romans 2:15). In order to be saved humans need to restore the relationship with God. God was gracious enough and gave the opportunity through Jesus Christ who was sent to earth as the savior. “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). People were give the gift of God “through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation” (Romans

5 And men are instructed sufficiently that they know good from evil. And the law is given unto men. And by the law no flesh is justified; or, by the law men are cut off. Yea, by the temporal law they were cut off; and also, by the spiritual law they perish from that which is good, and become miserable forever.6 Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.7 Behold, he offerth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.

As a Roman citizen, watching the decline of the Roman Empire was frightening because of the constant worry. The Roman Empire lost its power due to simultaneous external and internal factors such as the lack of political stability, deterioration of the military, and constant invasions from outsiders. The first internal factor that led to the fall of the Roman Empire was the lack of political stability. This was due to the constant change of emperors, causing haphazard leadership. “The soldiers in various parts of the empire proclaimed fifty emperors in about the same number of years” (Lines 8-10, Document 3a, Third Century Crisis of the Roman Empire).

The Romans emerged from Italy and formed their culture that can find its roots among an array of native tribes and Greek colonies that populated Italy. There are two parts of the foundation of a Roman’s identity that stemmed from the cultural influences that produced the Romans, their culture and their ideals. The first component of the foundation of the Roman identity is the usage and the incorporation of others’ myths into their own etiological myth. The second part stems from these myths that made the Romans believe that their existence and success was the result of fate. By looking into Virgil’s Aeneid and Sallust’s Conspiracy of Catiline one can see that this two-part foundation produced a society and people that embodied this idea that they were the best parts of all the cultures

Christian Response: Salvation, according to the Bible, is due to God’s grace and love. He provided Jesus as the sacrifice for the sins of the world. It’s through faith in the crucified and risen Jesus that we may be saved. Works are excluded (John 1:12; 3:16; Rom. 10:9-13; Eph. 2:8-9).

The Healing Power of His Love “Forgive them, they know not what they do,” God whispered in Immaculee’s ear. Immaculee, a Tutsi Rwandan girl, was huddled in a incredibly tiny bathroom filled with seven other young ladies hiding from mass murderers trying to kill every Tutsi in the country. She struggled day and night trying to forgive the killers, but could only think of hatred for them until God said those words in her ear. She opened her heart to him and was saved by his loving mercy. Immaculee viewed being spared and being saved as different and through Immaculee’s story she showed me that we have to love and forgive others even if they have hurt us.

God’s people were warned again and again by the prophets to stop sinning – to restrain their greed and lusts – or the Lord would send them into captivity. This dramatic result of the total loss of liberty occurred as a result of a total lack of restraint vividly explicates the truth. Tacitus confirms the wisdom of Daniel Webster when he writes The Annals of Imperial Rome, Chapter 6, “Corruption reached its climax, and legislation

The realization sparked an influx of historical works. “For the first time Romans became aware that their life differed greatly from that of their ancestors and that the continuity of Roman tradition had been broken. That experience proved extremely disturbing. How did the past, seen as glorious and idea, fir with the troubled present?” (Breisach, 1994, 52).

Around this time Roman values were much different then they have been before. Citizens were supposed to support and give more loyalty to their state rather than their individual self. Honesty, integrity, and a low ambition were common values for citizens to follow especially since Rome was beginning to grow. This relationship between Rome and its citizens had already been established, however its lengths were really seen when its values were tested by Catiline. Everything he did was against the values that Rome held, which is why things ended so badly for him.

These instances described show how tensions arose from varying beliefs. Moreover, even with such a diversified group, the Romans displayed great tolerance allowing the coexistence of religions and the practices. The Romans did not deprive or completely strip conquered peoples of their religion so long as they remained within boundaries that did not cause disturbance. Fear played a role in controlling those who attempted to encroach upon the Roman boundaries set forth or expected. The role of sex and sexuality in Rome can be characterized by fidelity, fertility, dishonor, or impurity.

People who do not experience forgiveness, guilt swallows them up and they feel as if they are drowning. As Richard Baxter said, “that sorrow, even for sin, may be overmuch. That overmuch sorrow swalloweth one up.”
