ROMANS:
A STRATEGIC MESSAGE
• Paul’s life was one of a strategic
messenger
• Postmark of the letter sealed a
strategic message
• Paul’s listeners formed a strategic
ministry in an urban center like
ours today
Point 1.
The church at Rome had become
the radio station of Christianity
even as the city of Rome had
become the magnet of humanity.
DEFINITION:
An epistle is a letter meant to com-
municate intelligence to a distant person.
THEME OF ROMANS:
THEME: The revelation of righteousness
in the gospel of Jesus Christ
GOAL: To “establish” by epistle (found by
authority of a decree) a group of people
that could not be spoken to in person
PURPOSE: to “stablish” (make firm) those
who had been founded
Point 2.
The epistle to the Romans is not
just the perfect message for sinful
people; it is the perfecting message
for saved people.

STUDY OF GOD

Christianity in Paul’s day

Paul and the mind of God
• THEOLOGICALLY—sheds light on the gospel
and the righteousness of God
• SPIRITUALLY—sheds light on how to get the
power of the Spirit in the Christian life

study in Romans because it shows
all the attributes and possessions, as
well as all the gifts of God, as
displayed by Paul in this epistle.

you realize you are debtor.

Once you own the gospel
you owe the gospel.
Point 5.

gospel they get more than a
message, because within
the boundaries of that
message the Holy Spirit is

You can doubt God out of your schools, you can write God out of your books, you can rule God out of your nation, and you can laugh God out of your life; but you cannot ignore God out of your death. For most this is too late learned, but no less lethal.
—T.S. Eliot
Point 9.
Man was created in God's image, so
when man rejected God, God made
sure man would not do damage to
his image and God changed man’s
image so no one will confuse fallen
man with holy God.
How God Reveals His Wrath
1. Verse 24 he rejected their body,
so they began to desire physical
impurity
2. Verse 26 he rejected their hearts,
so they began to desire degrading
passions
3. Verse 28 he rejected their mind,
so they began to desire unfit actions
