Road to Salvation begins

Welcome to Summer '13! We begin in Romans. Written by the Apostle Paul,, this is great theology. His purpose is to show how God made us right in His sight, everyone. Kinda levels the playing field. Rome was filled with Pagans and those who worshipped idols and other gods. Like DC today? It was the seat of earthly power. Key verses in ch1 are v1-Paul introduces himself as a slave...the lowest possible relation, showing his humility, v16-17 Paul writes boldly of his purpose for the letter, and v20, we have no excuse for not seeking God. This is so appropriate today in our culture. We have lost our way and need these reminders. Are we slaves to Christ? Does He rule our lives? I deserve hanging for desertion! Come along in Romans...it is a powerful road!
