Christmas in Rome (1 of 26)
Series: Romans
Zach Terry
Romans 1:2-4
REVIEW: Last week we covered a large part of chapter 1 and answered 5 questions.
Who wrote the letter? - that was Paul
To whom did Paul write it? to the Saints of God in Rome
When was it written? While Paul was in Corinth at the home of Gaius.
Why was it written? Personal reason, Educational reason, Financial reason.
What was the message? The Gospel of Jesus Christ
TEXT: Romans 1:1-4 (NASB95)
1 Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,

1. The Gnostic Jesus - was a Spiritual apparition that emanated from the Father.

3. There was the Jesus of the Judaisers who accomplished part of the work, but left the rest up to you.
Well in verses 2-4 Paul specifies which Jesus he was referring to.
OUR CONTEXT: This is incredibly valuable for us, because we are 2,000 years removed and on the other side of the planet from ground zero where it all took place.
• In the 1730's - 1740's a great revival swept the early american colonies called the 1st Great Awakening and Jesus became the central topic of conversation across our country. The common man was well versed in theology.
• In the early 1800's a movement called the 2nd gr ...
