First Understand the Letter is Written In Three Parts and Keep That In Mind

Next

The First Third is How We Stand Before GOD Chapter 1-7

The Second Third Is How We Are Rescued By Jesus Christ Alone Chapter 7 the end through Chapter 12

The Third Part Is Once The LORD Rescues Us And Awakes Us From The Dead, It Shows The Fruit Of A Life Lived In Christ Chapter 12 the end through the End (Chapter 16) How the Redeemed Life In Christ awaken from the dead is Brought by the Holy Spirit to Live their Lives

The Whole Letter Is Summed Up In These Two Verses So Save Yourself From Reading Thousands Of Pages, and YES it is summed up here, in fact so is the WHOLE BIBLE;

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;

Yes That is it, so a letter that is only 22 pages long in 12 p , and commented on in 1100 pages by Douglas Moo and DA Carson or 500 pages by Martin Luther only proves those authors MISSED the point, and yes fear Martin Luther, would have suggested today as you read through his Romans walk, "Don't use it as a commentary, as I too was figuring it out".

The Professor I had for Romans was very young, and actually said to me in a review of my Paper on Romans, "You have a habit of suggesting we are the worst Christ Died for, and that there is NOTHING Good about us!" Yes, the Professor actually said this, and though I liked him, it showed what kind of teaching Seminaries get as His path to PHD at his age allowed for zero life or Pastoral Experience.

I am not trying to put the Professor down, but His experience in teach at his age was far less then the experience the LORD had granted me, and I fear at His age I too would have been offended by such thoughts on the Bible Romans.

The verses below will help us to see that Jesus alone is the RIGHTEOUS ONE, and has to completely purchase us the Completely Evil, as Jesus says so, so very sorry Jono, but it is I who give your Romans class a C, and I do like you.

Romans 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

10 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;

11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;

12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."

13 "THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING," "THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS";

14 "WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS";

15 "THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD,

16 DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS,

17 AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN."

18 "THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES."

Mark 10:17 ¶ As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

Luke 11:11 "Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

12 "Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?

13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?"
