Romans 1:1-7 and Romans 16:25-27

Viewing the World

We all live in the same world but we don’t view the world in the same way. Paul wrote Romans to express, teach and apply his world view to the Church in Rome. Essentially this letter is the gospel expanded and applied to Christians who lived in Rome. Though we live in the modern world we face the same challenges, where did the world come from, what is wrong with the world, what will or has been done to fix the world, what is my purpose in the world, how do I fulfil my purpose? These are the challenges Romans will help us with. the Rev
