Romans 1:1-16 (Central the entire book Romans , the effect and purpose of the Gospel)

The way we lead people is 1st with our life!  You preach by living!!

Comments on the book of the Romans:  The cathedral of Christian faith- the most profound book in existence.  Chief part of the New Testament, Critically important to the life of the believer.  It discusses the sacrificial and redemptive act of Jesus.  The book exhorts man to live righteously and harmoniously.

The devil shouldn’t have a place in the church!  We should have a righteous indignation for those who like to come to church and sow discord!  It should not be tolerated and should be called out!  We must stomp on the devil’s head!!!  We need to learn to live harmoniously.

We have to get to where God says we should be at the right time when He says get there and everything will be alright. We will not have so much adversity and hiccups in our life! God’s way-God’s timing!  It is not about what we think but what God says.

The sovereign plan of salvation did not stop at salvation, that was just the start.

When you know someone does not like you or has an aught against you, the first thing the enemy wants you to do is shun the person and say “well they do not like me anyway, so I am not going to say anything to them” but the Jesus in us should move us to reach out to them, even if they reject it!  The Lord wants us to be more than sanctified people sitting in the pew!

God offers a gift- the gift of righteousness.  The righteousness of God is indicative of His grace imputed unto man because of our faith in God!  The righteousness of God cause man to live and walk in right standing with God.
