This week, we
studied Romans with Chad Hampsch. What an amazing teacher! The insight I gained
was eye opening. Let me tell you a little bit about it…
Romans is all
about he righteousness of God revealed; in the person of Jesus Christ. Paul is
writing after his 3rd missionary journey, somewhere around 57 AD.
Written after Christ has died, approximately 2 years later.
Paul does not appear to be correcting false theology; instead, He is sharing
the fullness of the gospel. Chapters1-7 mentions the Holy Spirit twice,
while chapter 8 mentions the Holy Spirit 20 times! Chapter 8: AMAZING!
It appears that
Paul's primary goal is to take a financial gift
back to Jerusalem. The gift is from a group of Jewish believers, being given to
a group of Gentile believers. Paul’s mission is to take the gospel to
where it has not been preached (10/40 window).
We were able to go verse by verse, digging in to what Paul said and meant.
Simply said, I can't wait for him to teach again.
