Individual Salvation In Romans

154 Words1 Page

Blair, I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on the central theme of Romans. As I mentioned in my post that salvation being the central theme, you had a great point at the end of your paper. You stated, "the theme of individual salvation is also mentioned in the textbook, but I think that justification is the root of individual salvation." This brought attention to my eyes and made me really think that justification could be looked as the central theme. Throughout the book of Romans, we read where Paul mentions Jews and Gentiles. As we read in Antiquity, Paul not only talks about a Jewish and Gentile problem but a human problem as well. While Paul did focus his letters towards the Jewish community it can be read that the Jews refuse to listen.

    His case that the Apostle Paul did not know of an entity such as the “Gentile Church” is duly noted. However, he asserts that it is the Body of believers, both Jew and Gentile together, that provokes Israel to jealousy. This is a difficult position to fully support in scripture. Paul makes it clear that God brings salvation to the Gentiles so that the Jews will see the goodness of God poured out on the Gentiles and be provoked to jealousy.

    Paul encourages the believer in Rome that there is a still hope and that not all is lost. He insists that there is a way to righteousness thru none other then Christ the Son of God, The God that they have left outside of their margins. In continuation to that, everyone regardless of culture, language, skin color and of customs may be safe through faith in Jesus Christ. That discrimination may be our own misunderstanding of God’s perspectives. Perhaps God has created us equal to one another, in regards to that, the same blood that cleanses one person is the same one that cleanses me and everybody else.

  • 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

    There is also a hint of the Romans being somewhat afraid of their god, which may have allowed them to get away with causing problems for both the law and in turn the Roman people. Dio Cassius goes on to say that the Jews arrived in “Rome in great numbers” and started assimilating many of the Roman people. However, eventually “Tiberius banished most of them from the country” . While Suetonius says that they caused many “disturbances” and were also banished from Rome. Horace tells that because they are becoming a large majority group, they would insist that you convert to their religious beliefs .

  • 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.

    Even though Christians were persecuted on and off during the Roman Empire, Christianity flourished. In the early Roman Empire, when Claudius, Nero, Domitian, and Trajan were emperors, Christianity was banned and Christians were persecuted. Nevertheless, Christians found ways to spread Christianity, and many people converted. As trials occurred and the Empire lost good leaders, the people took security in Christianity and other religions. Christianity grew during the Roman Empire because Constantine helped create the Edict of Milan, Constantine had imperial favor toward The Church, and there was trade routes to spread Christianity to different areas.

    This is a powerful commentary of the time that directly relates to this day in age. Human identity is now just as sinful, if not more so, than it was during Paul’s time in Rome. The media is continually reporting on acts of depravity including moral decay, sexual acts, and murder. In Romans (1:26) it states “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.”, and in Romans (1:28) it states “Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind…” showing the constant state of sin between then and

  • Biblical Worldview Essay

    Introduction/Thesis In a world that seems to disregard the existence of God through a misunderstanding of the world around them, it is important that we use the Bible and its teachings to try and open the eyes of those who are lost in our world today. Paul orates an awe-inspiring message to the Roman Christians of his day that can help in our understanding of God’s righteousness, man’s fallen nature, and the redemption that can be found in Jesus Christ. We find the same circumstances in today’s times as Paul found in his, where people no longer wanted to worship God and they were unthankful to Him for all that was given to them. Bridging the gap of our two cultures and finding a way to share the insights of the apostle Paul through his message

  • Apostle Paul's Influence On The Western World

    Kimberly, Your discussion was very well written and related closely to my writing and thoughts as well! A strength of your writing that stands out was how Apostle Paul carried the word throughout the Mediterranean. " Paul, the "apostle to the Gentiles," carried the message of salvation through faith in Christ throughout the eastern Mediterranean and into Rome itself" (Rawls, 2016, p. 224). This single piece of information confirms that Paul is one of the main reasons for Christianity entering Rome which through history becomes the main point for the fall of the empire. In regards to our assignment, a small weakness that could be found would be that of the literary work of the Bible having a great influence on the Western world when in fact

    The bible says that men and women were created equal, but society does not live accordingly. We live in a world that puts men above women and expects women to go along like nothing is wrong. This book does an excellent job at looking at the deeper meaning of partnership and what it looks like for men and women to work and walk alongside one another. God has created each and every person in a unique and beautiful way, and we should not shy away or hide our talents. This book really opened my eyes to new ideas of how God sees man and woman, and how to truly love our neighbor as our self.
