Well today we begin Romans another book of the bible finished and a new one begining. I love this feeling you see I have never read so much in the bible based on whole chapters and really studied it like this. I am so excited to be doing this and God has taught me so much and I have had quite an insight from everyone who has taken time top post their thoughts on this. It truly has been and continues to be a blessing for me!! I hope you are enjoying it as well...
Romans Chapter 1:
Before we start I have to admit it was hard for me to get into Acts so I think it is funny how it works that we are moving to Romans... I think God is trying to make me get Paul and where he is coming from and I have alot to learn from him. In one of my bibles it states "Romans does not read like a dry book of theology. Augustine, Martin Luther, and John Wesley all trace their spiritual renewels to reading Romans." I find this very interesting and exciting all at the same time. I find it interesting that these people had "troubles" and have had "spiritual renewels" in their lives and I am excited that we could experience the same thing....
1-6 this is a great reminder of Who we are learning about and where He has come from...
12 "that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each others faith." (sounds to me like this is what we do!!)
16-17 are amazing to the greatness of the gospel and sharing it. "The righteous will live by faith"
20 I always have an excuse.... something to work on...
21 I think is key to so many, they think since they know of God that is enough..."their foolish hearts were darkend" something to think about...
22"Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools" makes me remeasure up!
25 "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator who is forever praised. Amen" What are you worshiping?? (and why Amen at the end???)
26-32 has alot of information that make my head spin. some with looking where I was and thankful I am forgiven. Some with looking at others and worried that they will not be saved or that they will continue to have bad things come there way. alot to process!!!
