      Foreword

      ––––––––

      Thank you reader, for selecting my book. There are many choices of books and we all have a limited window of time to read. I appreciate you purchasing my product. It is a humbling thing to know someone would choose to purchase, and then read your work. I do not take it as a small matter. By purchasing and reading a book, the reader and the author form a certain bond as they travel a road together for a short time. It is especially rewarding when the two agree on the content. It is my hope you can find inspiration and life challenges in the pages of this small booklet.

      From the days of my high school years I have found the Bible fascinating. I have travelled to Israel on two occasions to learn more about the land and culture of the Bible. I worked on an archaeological dig and lived on a Kibbutz to better inform myself of how to understand this book from God. I have read it from cover to cover over twenty times, and it is still as exciting to me as it ever was.

      The Bible is a magnificent journey and experience. It is ever a delight. In it you will travel to distant lands and meet some of the most incredible people of history. It will introduce you to kings and peasants. You will walk the palace halls of castles and the open fields of the countryside. You will meet the famous and be introduced to people whose name we will never know. You will read some of the greatest love stories ever told and you will see the dark side of man as the evil manifests itself in heinous ways. Every emotion of man is highlighted at some time. You will see greed and avarice and murderous covetousness. You will also see the greatest examples of love and sacrifice that mankind has ever contributed. For indeed the Bible is the story of man. It is the whole story, and nothing is left out or omitted. It is the ultimate mirror of life.

      When we invest time in the Bible we indulge a bit of the eternal. The Bible will never pass away, even in the eons of the future. If you have read it sincerely then my hope is this small work will intensify your understanding and enjoyment a little more. It is the grandest journey we can make while in this life. Thank you for sharing a portion of your life journey with me.

      Romans

      ––––––––

      There is a loud, long, clarion call that leaps off the pages of Romans from the first chapter!  Mankind is lost! Men need a savior. The Gentile world needs a savior (Chapter 1). The Jewish world needs a savior (Chapter 2). The answer for both is in Jesus Christ (Chapter 3). Jesus Christ is the cure for the universal malady of Sin!

      Romans reaches back to the primeval Garden of Eden and offers the fix for a broken world. A second Adam has arrived and started over with a new family. This new family is comprised of all mankind, as was the Garden of Eden’s original intent. This new family will be all the original family was intended to be.

      Paul, the apostle to the Gentile world, although a Jew, speaks to universal mankind without prejudice. Paul had now been preaching for twenty-five years. He had been on the missionary trail for ten years and was currently in Corinth. He is a guest in the home of Gaius (16.23) who was a member of the church in Cenchrea. A sister by the name of Phebe, was going to Rome and Paul asked her to carry a letter to the saints there. The letter Paul wrote is what we now have as the Book of Romans. Paul wrote the epistle by using Tertius to physically take dictation (16.22). Paul lets us know the church in Rome had not been founded by another Apostle, for Paul did not build on another’s foundation (15.20).

      This letter is about the size of an average daily newspaper and can easily be read at a single sitting. However, do not let that fool you. The profound revelations in this book set it apart as the grand picture of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the single greatest summary of Christ’s gospel ever penned by man. The eternal purpose of Jesus Christ is profoundly and concisely written here.

      Herein is the manifesto of Jesus Christ to a lost, broken, disillusioned, and condemned world.

      Date: Probably written from Corinth in the spring of AD 58

      Theme: Paul’s desire to visit the church at Rome. The grand summary of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

      Author: Apostle Paul

      Chapter 1

      ––––––––

      1.1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

      1.1 Paul. The name evoked such strong feeling in all. They may love him or hate him, but his name evoked feeling in all. To some he was a maverick
