Romans 1: 1-6

(Romans 1: 1-6)

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,  (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;  And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:  By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:  Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ

 

The book of Romans is said to have been written by the apostle Paul in Corinth. The book of Romans is a letter written to Christians in Rome to explain the correct doctrine to the saints in Rome, who grew up spontaneously without a minister. The apostle Paul says that he really wanted to go to Rome and preach the gospel, but he could not go because he did not have an opportunity. The apostle Paul thought it was the wisdom and grace of God that prevented him from going to Rome. If the apostle Paul had not had a reason to go to Rome to teach the doctrine himself and write the doctrine by letter, we would not have been able to understand exactly what the Gospel is through the great epistle, Romans.

 

The book of Romans begins with Paul's introduction. 『Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God』
Paul said that he was a servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, and set apart for the gospel. The slave belongs to the master and is the person who does what the master tells him to do. The saints were previously servants of Satan, but they must realize that they are the servants of Jesus Christ, redeemed by the blood of Jesus. The apostle Paul explains that he became an apostle and a Christian because he was called and divided. God appeared to Ananias and told him to go to the Apostle Paul, and likewise God told Ananias that Ananias would come to the Apostle Paul. So he is born again through the ordination of Ananias.

 

The servants of Jesus Christ are set apart for the gospel of God. 『((Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures)』 The gospel is not only in the New Testament Gospels, but also in the Old Testament.
Beginning with the 5th Book of Moses, the books of history, poetry, and prophets all record the Gospel. It is to realize Christ through the law. When we read the Old Testament, we should be able to see what God's promises were hidden in them and how those promises were fulfilled when we read the New Testament. As you read the Bible, you must understand what the gospel is and gain faith. That is the most central story the apostle Paul tells in Romans.

 

The apostle Paul goes on to talk about what the gospel is, and he says it is "about Jesus Christ." As we come to know the gospel, we must be able to understand more precisely who Jesus Christ is. Jesus came to this earth in the flesh, promised in advance through prophets in the Old Testament, and resurrected as prophesied in the Old Testament. By His resurrection on the cross, He proved to be the Son of God.

Romans 12: 3-8

(Romans 12: 3-8) For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.   For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.   Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;   Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;   Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.   While Romans 1-11 explained the contents of the Gospel, Chapters 12-15 deal with the concrete way of living, that is, the practical part of Christian life. 『 I beseech you the...

Romans 1: 20-32

(Romans 1: 20-32) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:   Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.   Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,   And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.   Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:   Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.   For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into...

Romans 16: 17-27

(Romans 16: 17-27) Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ , but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.   For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you. I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord. Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.   Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to...
