Romans: Theology for Everybody (1-5)Sample

Congratulations, you’ve started to hike the Mt. Everest of the New Testament and read through some of the most complicated theological passages in the Bible! To be honest, I still don’t completely understand everything Paul talks about in Romans, and neither did Peter apparently, since he said, “There are some things in [Paul’s writing] that are hard to understand” (2 Peter 3:15-17). So, don’t feel bad if you still have a lot of questions or feel like you need a brain diaper from how many times your mind has been blown. 

The goal of Bible reading is for it to get in you and change your life through the power of the Holy Spirit, so we’d like to recommend a few additional reflection steps to help you finish out your study.

Reflection:

• At this point, it would be helpful to go back through your notes from the first few days and skim through Romans 1-5 again, this time paying attention to the major themes and keywords you see, and answering any questions you had at the beginning of this study.
