{{DOD-November}}
The Book of [[Romans]] is probably the greatest and most influential of all [[Paul]]'s Epistles. It is a very profound, yet very simple, Epistle, written to and for sinful mankind. It points out how lost and helpless humanity really is, and how we can find deliverance in Christ. It presents Christ's redemption as the only hope for humanity. The book was apparently written from Corinth around a.d. 57.
The Book of [[Romans]] presents doctrinal truth on justification, sanctification, adoption, [[judgment]], and identification with Christ. It presents dispensational truth, showing the relationship between [[Israel]] and the Church in the eternal plan of [[God]]. It presents practical truth, teaching the secret of Christian [[victory]] over the flesh, and the duties Christians have toward each other and in relationship to government. If we, as Christians, should try to master one book, it should be the Book of [[Romans]]. The understanding of this precious book is a key to unlocking the entire [[Word]] of [[God]].
Chapter 1 contains the salutation. The writer identifies himself, and those to whom the book is written. They are identified as the saints at Rome, and not the unbelievers. The theme is Christ and the Gospel of salvation (verses 1-7). [[Paul]] tells us why he is writing the book in verses 8-15, and what he is writing about in verses 16 and 17. In the latter part of the chapter, [[Paul]] explains to the Gentiles that they are lost and engulfed by darkness and why man is condemned. Then, in chapter 2, he turns to his own people, the [[Jews]], and shows them that they are equally condemned as sinners before [[God]]. [[Paul]] deals with [[Israel]]'s unbelief and explains that [[Jews]] and Gentiles alike are all under [[sin]].
