ROMANS 1-3
Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Links to my sites here and the bottom of every post- Most updated at bottom. https://ccoutreach87.com/links-to-my-sites-updated-10-2018/ Stats https://ccoutreach87.com/stats-4-21/ Recent- Inlinx https://inlinx.com/about/408978127_1#/ Sovren https://www.sovren.media/u/ccoutreach87/ Goodwall https://www.goodwall.io/john-chiarello-2078 Freespace https://www.freespacesocial.com/ African- ccoutreach87 https://afrikan.space/ccoutreach870 [Africa] Palscity- ccoutreach87 https://palscity.com/ccoutreach87 [Africa] Me- ccoutreach https://all.me/ccoutreach S Sermon text posts https://ccoutreach87.com/sunday-sermon-text-posts/ Group Link https://ccoutreach87.com/sunday-sermon-text-posts-group-link/ Faceworld https://www.face-world.net/1637000620180894_19980 Updeed https://updeed.co/ [Connect John Chiarello] Brightccoutreach87 https://brighteon.social/@Ccoutreach87 Upmanch- https://upmanch.com/ccoutreach87 [India] Twellit- ccoutreach87 https://twellit.com/@Ccoutreach87 Social Cross- ccoutreach https://socialcross.org/ccoutreach Buzzbii ccoutreach https://www.buzzbii.com/ccoutreach Wespeak- ccoutreach87 https://www.wespeak.com/Ccoutreach87 USA ccoutreach https://usa.life/ccoutreach Yubnub- ccoutreach https://yubnub.social/ccoutreach Coldcast- ccoutreach https://coldcast.org/ccoutreach Rightccoutreach https://rightonly.net/ccoutreach Patnet- John Chiarello https://patriotnet.com/profile/5427 Streetloc- ccoutreach https://streetloc.com/page/view-persons-profile?id=2382 Magccoutreach https://magabook.com/ccoutreach Plurk https://www.plurk.com/ccoutreach87 [Japan- Taiwan] Safechat https://safechat.com/u/john.chiarello Snac- https://snacpia.com/link/profile/51155 [Korea] Connectzing https://connectzing.com/profile/25096 Romans 1-3 videos- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz4xrnpMFhU&t=27s https://ccoutreach87.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/2-3-15-romans-1-3.zip https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aocp2PkNEAGMhRWSt6Bar8L1ZhQn https://www.dropbox.com/s/nubk60eh5h1n1fi/2-3-15%20Romans%201-3.mp4?dl=0 For the next 3-4 weeks I plan on covering the letter to the Romans- written by the Apostle Paul- Below are excerpts from a commentary I wrote years ago- try and read the book of Romans the next week or so. Actually reading thru the bible- in context- is one of the best habits you can develop. Rome was the city of influence at the time of Paul- located just east of the bend of the Tiber river- about 18 miles from the Mediterranean Sea. The letter to the Romans- would be read orally to both Christians and Jews in the city- in the days of the writing of these letters [which now make up our bible] they were living in an ‘oral’ culture- and the letters were intended to be read aloud to those in the early Christian communities [remember- you didn’t have books back then- like we have today- and the mass production of writing/publishing did not yet exist]. So- Paul was a strategic thinker- and he penned this letter hoping it would be a ‘shot in the dark’- that is the darkness of sinful man- The letter to the Romans is the closest thing to a systematic theology found in the New Testament. Its impact in church history is great- John Chrysostom- the great 5ht century preacher- had it read aloud to him- once a week. Saint Augustine attributes it to his radical conversion- the story goes he heard some kids singing ‘take up and read’. He picked up a copy of the letter to the Romans- and history was changed. Luther- the great 16th century reformer- was teaching this letter- as a Catholic priest/scholar- out of Germany- when he read ‘The just shall live by faith- therein is the righteousness of God revealed’- It lead to what we call today ‘The Protestant Reformation’. A few hundred years later- the Great Methodist founder- John Wesley- would say his heart was ‘strangely warmed’ while hearing a message at Aldersgate- and it lead to his conversion- sure enough- the message was from the letter to the church at Rome. So- when the great Apostle sat down and penned this ‘arrow’- hoping it to go forth and have great impact for the Kingdom of God- his hopes were indeed realized. Enjoy- TEACHING- [Some sites see here https://ccoutreach87.webstarts.com/blog/post/romans-1-3-3 ] ·ROMANS 1: 1-16 many believe this letter to be Paul’s best, I wouldn’t disagree.
