"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed —a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”"
(Romans 1:16-17)
(Romans 1:16-17)
Paul wrote the book of Romans to the believers in Rome, to present the meaning of the Gospel in relation to law, prophecy, and the universal need of man for justification by faith.
Romans is one of the most quoted and cited epistles in the New Testament and is generally divided into 4 parts:
Part One: Doctrinal
Depicts the righteousness of God as revealed in the Gospel (Romans 1:18-8:39). The need for righteousness because of universal sin, (Romans 1:18-3:20) and the righteousness of God in justification, (Romans 3:21-5:21). This section also speaks on the believer's victory through the Spirit, (Romans 8:1-39).
Part Two: Historical
Covers the righteousness of God in His dealings with Israel and all mankind (Romans 9:1-11:36). Paul shows his sorrow because of Israel's rejection, (Romans 9:1-5) but demonstrates God's purpose for their future, (Romans 11:1-32).
Part Three: Practical
Paul moves on in the third section of Romans to show how the righteousness of God can be applied to the life of the believer (Romans 12:1-15:13). Over the next three chapters, Paul describes the believer in relation to God: (Rom 12:1-2), to the church: (Rom 12:3-13) to mankind: (Rom 12:14-21) to the state: (Rom 13:1-14) and the believer in relation to a weaker brother: (Rom 14:1-15:13).
Part Four: Conclusion
In the end of Romans, Paul speaks of personal matters such as why he was writing to the Romans and the plans he had for the near future. He sends a warning to the believers in Rome, (Romans 16:17-20) and concludes with a benediction (Romans 16:25-27).
