To Rome With Love - Book Two: A Study in the Book of Romans

Book One - Romans Chapters 1-7
Book Two - Romans Chapters 8-16
To Rome With Love is a study in the book of Romans that examines every verse of the most significant love letter ever written. Consider this! Since hieroglyphics, millions, possibly billions of love letters have been written, but this is it. Romans is #1, even today. Why? Because its timeless message is so powerful that it still eclipses the great works of literary giants like Shakespeare, Emerson, and Tolstoy.

Although Paul penned Romans through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, its author is God. Scripture confirms that God is love, and that's His overarching message in Romans. Theologians agree if it were all you had of scripture, you would have enough. That's enough to come to an understanding of who God is and, in light of that, who you are. Verse by verse study of Romans not only illuminates God's love for us but His plan to save sinners. By examining Romans' text, you will discover that God and His salvation plan are eternal. His purpose has existed from eternity past, it's rooted in love, and that will never change. At this very moment, God's love for you is absolute. It's whole!

Consequently, you can't do anything more, different, or better to cause God to love you more than He already does and already has. Paul knew all about God's love, grace, and forgiveness. The benefits, naturally and spiritually, are found in every verse. No place in scripture is divine love more clearly defined than in Romans.

The deep things of God are there, too. Every element of God's profound theological works are navigated, explored, and explained - it's the doctrinal book of the Bible. Beyond that, Romans unites believers, defines boundaries, and outlines God's plan for Israel, the original recipients of divine grace. Romans settles questions like, "What will happen to the Jews?"

Finally, Paul ends the letter by outlining godly Christian living. Paul is straightforward; he makes it simple and concise. He concludes the Romans' letter by imploring us to come into agreement with God and finish strong. He concludes the Romans' letter by imploring us to come into agreement with God and finish strong. That's a finish that brings honor and glory to the name Jesus and above all else - it benefits the gospel.

Those who have completed this study agree. The complete study - Books One and Two are life-changing. They bring scripture to life, transform hearts, and should be studied by all believers. Their conclusion? To Rome With Love will change you - inside and out!
