The second lesson on Romans 1
We have started a Video Bible College with Ps Peter Earle, pastor of Networx Church in Springwood, Qld.
At the time of the early church, the Jews had by and large become really focussed on their temple and their system of worship with animal sacrifices. Many of them disregarded Jesus who was sent as their Messiah. God got so fed up with the whole thing that He arranged for the Romans to come over in 70 A.D and utterly destroy the Temple. It has never been rebuilt. I call that a strong message from the Lord of Heaven and Earth to the people of Israel about what God does and does not accept by way of religion.
When I was at church yesterday
evening, a word came from the Lord through the pastor’s wife that He
wants us to praise, because those who are worshippers are those who
hear the voice of God. If you want direction from the Lord in any
area of your life, get into praise. This puts you in such a place in
God where you can hear His voice clearer.
In a radical message preached on a mountain in Galilee (Matthew 5,6,7), Jesus gives us the best definition of what is the Kingdom of God.
I would like to make some observations about a very important passage of the Bible, the eighth chapter of Romans. Its really important that we
Romans 1:3 … concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
People have all kinds of opinions about the identity of Jesus Christ. Even anti-Christian people have views acknowledging Jesus as a prophet, an enlightened master, a guru or a wise man. But Paul here gets straight to the point and tells us that:
1. Jesus is God’s Son. This does not mean that God had sex with Mary, the mother of Jesus, as some muslims suppose Christians believe, to produce an offspring. Jesus is the eternal Son of God.
Commentary on the Book of Romans
Romans 1:2
… separated to the gospel of God, (vs 1)
vs2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
Gospel means good news. What is the good news from God? It is simply this: that God would make a way to save people from sin and its consequences, and restore what we had lost through disobedience and rebellion towards GOd.
This promised was fulfilled through the death and resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, in our place.
Commentary on the Book of Romans
Romans 1:1
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God
Even though Paul was and is probably the most influential apostle in the history of the church, notice the humility with which he writes this letter to the Romans. Even the name “Paul” means “little”. His name was changed by the Lord from Saul to Paul.
Paul, describes himself firstly as a bondservant, which in the greek really means “slave”. Paul is saying he is a slave of Jesus Christ.
