Romans 15:14–33

The Content of Romans
More thoughts from Moo on our passage for today:

    "To be sure, Paul has written “quite boldly on some points” (i.e., in some parts of the letter). But he did so not to impart new knowledge but to “remind” the Roman Christians of truth they already knew. If Paul has not let his diplomacy here descend into insincere flattery—for surely the believers in Rome did not know everything Paul teaches in this letter!--he must mean by this that he has simply explicated gospel truth that they already know." [1]

Romans is an interesting book for many reasons, but a big one is what Moo writes in the first paragraph:  it is in essence just an explanation of the faith and Gospel that we as Christians hold to.  But it isn't just a 2 minute presentation of it or a simple salvation message:  it is an in-depth explanation of man's need for salvation and how it relates to all people of the world - both Jew and Gentile.

This is why through the ages many have clung to to book of Romans and studied it deeply.  As we finish up this book tomorrow, my encouragement for all of you (even as we move on in the NT) is to spend time studying and understanding Romans.  You won't be disappointed.  We've done only the briefest of surveys, covering the whole book in just a few weeks.  It's my hope that we can spend more time here in the future because there is SO MUCH here to understand and process.  Happy studying!
