Reformer John Calvin wrote that "If a man understands Romans he has a sure road open to him to the understanding of the whole Scripture." Gleason Archer concurs, saying, "There is no more complete compendium of the Christian doctrine in the sixty-six books of the Bible than the Epistle to the Romans." Likewise, Dr. Lloyd-Jones called it "a colossal and incomparable statement of Christian truth."
Paul outlined his own writings when he wrote II Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine (Romans), for reproof (I & II Corinthians) for correction (Galations) and for instruction in righteousness (Philippians, Ephesians & Colossians). Romans is the beginning of understanding the new testament. I challenge you to take the time and effort to renew your understanding of this great salvation that has appeared to all men and by which we are saved. It will bring a new appreciation of the person of Jesus Christ and His absolute provision for us. Romans answers the sin question entirely. It answers the question of how we overcome the flesh entirely. It makes clear and concise statements about homosexuality and lesbianism. It answers the questions of Israel and the church and the final restoration of Israel in the end of this age. It answers the questions of how we should operate under our government, oppressive or not. Romans will unlock the keys to the "mind of Christ" that we should have toward ourselves and our world. It will clearly affect your World-View. It has the power to bring another reformation!
