Opis

The "Heavenly Citizens" series serves as a tool to help the Christian understand not only what the Bible teaches us, but also how to study the Bible. Explaining what the Bible teaches is like giving someone a fish to eat. Teaching him how to study the Bible is like teaching someone how to fish so he can feed himself. Both approaches are essential to developing spiritual maturity. "Romans" is the ninth volume in the "Heavenly Citizens" series. Romans begins by jumping right into the fray. Paul never was one to dilly dally around. The reality of sin in the world is presented in all its stark hideousness. Then Paul shows how sin infects both Jews and Gentiles alike. What with man's sin-infested condition, the need for a Savior is evident. Sin sets man at war with God and His righteousness. Sin demands the death of the sinner, hence the need for a Savior if man is to live. Voila Entre Messiah Jesus (aka Jesus Christ). Man can have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Man also receives the Holy Spirit, the new life of Christ in us, the hope of glory. By living according to the Word of God in the power of the Spirit, born again man can maintain his newfound relationship with God. Do the Jews still obey the Law of Moses, in order to have a relationship with God? And what is the Church's relationship to the Jews? In chapters 9-11 Paul reveals that Biblical mystery and answers the questions fully. You will likely be surprised by the Spirit's revelation of this mystery. In chapters 12-16 Paul concludes his "Letter to the Romans" by applying the spiritual truths taught in the first eleven chapters. First he taught us who we are, and then he taught us what this means for our daily living. Great stuff, this You won't want to miss out on even one small bite of the spiritual nutriment. So come on in, take off your shoes, and bow before the throne of grace with us, as we devour all the victuals of this godly feast. The approach for "Romans," and for every volume in the "Heavenly Citizens" series, is to teach the student the meaning of Scripture. We also teach him or her how to study the Bible on his/her own. We do this in two ways: we provide a few rules by which to govern our Bible study, and we demonstrate by example how to study the Bible. Experience is an outstanding teacher. In our books we practice the rules for Bible study. By walking through the Bible with us, the reader experiences firsthand what our method of study is like. We believe the student will come out of our studies with both an understanding of the Bible and the ability to truthfully understand the Bible on his/her own. The path lies before you. Walk through the gate and join the journey with us And may the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ be yours in abundance."
