Romans 7 Dying and Rising With Christ Part 2

We began a study of the dying and rising with Christ in Romans 7 by introducing Paul's ministry to the Gentiles. Our purpose is to show that Paul, even in speaking to Gentiles, never left the Jewish roots of his gospel which are the O.T. Scriptures, i.e. the Law and the Prophets. Paul's mission to the Gentiles is that salvation is of the Jews. He is found in a v ery unique historical position in the working out of his minsitry among the Gentiles which cannot be duplicated today. This becomes the basis of his soteriology and his eschatology which leads specifically to his doctrine of the resurrection of the dead.
