Paul begins Romans in a good news, bad news way, however he begins with the realistically bad news. He explains how the wrath of God is being revealed and how all classes of all people do not have the righteousness which God requires. From the pagan (1:18-32) to the moralist (2:1-11) to the unreached (2:12-16) to the Jew (2:17-29), “no one is righteous, not even one” (3:9-20).
Acts 24:1 – 26:32 What makes the apostle Paul tick? What drives him on through court appearances, shipwreck and snakebite? How do we see him living the faith and what is the key to his persistence?
Acts 1:1 – 8 The author of Acts, Luke introduces us to his theme; the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of witness and empowers the church to take the gospel from familiar territory to the ends of the earth.
Friedrich Hegel: “The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.” How far was that true in ancient Israel? How far is it true today? How should believers prepare themselves to avoid this deadly trap?
The momentously good news follows. Righteousness is not only God’s requirement but is God’s provision and it comes by grace through faith in Jesus who is the redeemer and God’s propitiatory sacrifice (3:21-26). This gospel is not something new with Paul but is the experience of Abraham (4:1-3) and David (4:6-8). This righteousness does not come to Abraham because of his circumcision (4:9-12) or because of his law keeping (4:13-15) it comes by faith and Abraham is the model of such faith (4:16-25).
