Romans

The Book of Romans is often disputed for its theology. It has the elements of salvation, predestination, election, foreknowledge, and calling. Each chapter has a flavor of its own and a distinctiveness of which Paul combines as a narrative of the condition of man. It is what God sees. We must understand the downward spiral of sin. Once man rejects God then there is a turn from faith to the flesh and all that this implies. We cannot allow this to happen to ourselves in that we must always have faith. This will keep us from the flesh and its appetites. By the time we get to Romans 3 we note that there is none seeking after God and we note the consequence of sin in Romans 6. Romans 7 speaks to our inability and Romans 8 speaks to our justification and righteousness. We have the relationship now as sons and are led by the Holy Spirit in this. There is salvation in Romans 10 and dedication in Romans 11 and our responsibility in society in Chapter 13. I have left chapters out in this.
