THE ROMANS ROAD: Part 4 - Chap 4-5 (The Unfolding of TRUE Purpose)

From The Schoolmaster To The Savior - 3/5/17

Segment I: The Identification of Bondage/ Part 5: Romans Chapters 4-5

"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come." (Romans 5:12-14)

 On this leg of our Romans journey, the Apostle Paul begins to drill down into the key problem weighing down the Jewish Christians of the Roman Church. Their belief that their relationship and "exclusivity" before God had more to do with them than with God's Purpose for all of mankind. They were falling into the same trap that Israel of old had fallen into, and that Jews to this very day continue to fall into: The belief that they were and are the SUBJECT of God's purpose rather than being "an" OBJECT by which God accomplishes his purpose. Join me today as we delve into this clarity of explanation Paul presents in order to divorce this errant dogma from the truth of God's doctrine regarding His purpose.
