Why is Romans so important?
The letter to the Romans stands as the clearest and most systematic presentation of Christian doctrine in all the Scriptures. Paul began by discussing that which is most easily observable in the world—the sinfulness of all humanity. Its message is that human beings are born in sin and slavery, but Jesus came to set us free. All people have been condemned due to our rebellion against God. However, God in His grace offers us justification by faith in His Son, Jesus. When we are justified by God, we receive redemption, or salvation, because Christ’s blood covers our sin.
But Paul made it clear that the believer’s pursuit of God doesn’t stop with salvation; it continues as each of us is sanctified—made holy—as we persist in following Him. Paul’s treatment of these issues offers a logical and complete presentation of how a person can be saved from the
penalty and power of his or her sin.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes,
to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith;
as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:16–17)
Paul most likely wrote to the Roman Christians from the city of Corinth during the three months he spent in Greece at the end of this third evangelistic journey. In its initial chapters, Paul focuses on doctrine, that is, on the pillars of truth that we know about ourselves and about God.
The last five chapters focus more on advice and encouragement for how to live out of this knowledge.
Let me ask you a question. What do you hope to receive when you study the Bible?
What do you hope for after you open God’s word in that part of the day when you need strength?
Dr. David Jeremiah as the
“most important chapter in the Bible”?
A book that will help you to keep your doctrinal beliefs aligned correctly and that will encourage and prepare you for the Lord’s return?
Right now, we’re in a study of the book of Romans, a powerful work that the Holy Spirit orchestrated thru the apostle Paul.
We have studied Justification, and at present, Sanctification and the identities of what the bible calls the “old man” and the “new man”.
Later on, we will do an in-depth, updated study on Spiritual Gifts (ALL of them) and how they apply. There is a mountain of Godly information in this most valuable, insightful book.
If you can carve out some time during the day on Wednesdays, we meet at 10 am in the Fellowship Hall and usually wrap up around 11:30. Discussion is welcomed and encouraged.
Join us and let’s learn together. (It’s not too late to join.)

- People read God’s word for:
- Prophecy – hope for the Lord’s return
- Emotional, physical and spiritual healing
- Guidance in decision-making
- Spiritual fodder for their memory bank
- As a challenge to read through in a year
- General growth and edification
- Lots of other reasons
