Romans Chapter Overviews

Romans 1 Life works when we trust God, not when we push down truth for pleasure.

Romans 2 Religious people can see where pagans push down truth for pleasure, but fail to see we do the same thing (and God feels the same way about us doing it as when they do it)

Romans 3 Everyone is guilty of the arrogance of rejecting God for the sake of personal choice and would be doomed if not for God’s mercy.

Romans 4 Abraham was called righteous because he wasn’t arrogant; he believed God was right and trusted him.

Romans 5
Romans 6 Since sin is what shows grace, shouldn’t I get a bumper sticker that says “Christians aren’t perfect, they are just forgiven!” ?

Romans 7 Since I don’t want to just keep on sinning, maybe I could follow some strict rules to live God’s way!

Romans 8 Creation, me and the Spirit groan at the hidden nature of God’s children. We are intended to keep in step with the Spirit as we are changed to be like Christ, safely in his love.

Romans 9 But wasn’t Israel safely in God’s love? Why are they rejecting Jesus?

Romans 10 Isn’t faith really invoking the LORD as Truth (and not suppressed Truth either)?

Romans 11 Is God using failure to show how life ought to be lived?

Romans 12 Since God is so merciful, we really should be intentional about how we live as Christians.

Romans 13 As we are living intentionally, it should show up in how we overcome arrogance and submit to proper authorities.

Romans 14 As we are living intentionally, we should work with one another because we are not all at the same level on the same issues at the same time.

Romans 15 As we are living intentionally, we should see an ever increasing impact in the world around us.

Romans 16 As we live intentionally we should notice lots of other people are as well and we can learn from each other.
