The epistle to the Romans is called Paul’s Definitive
Doctrinal Summary. Dr. Missler travels
through the book of Romans quickly. In
this epistle, Paul puts everyone on the same playing field, removes all of our
excuses...makes us all equally accountable.
The book of Romans has been called some of the most profound writing in
existence. It is written to believers,
not to the unsaved.
This “Gospel According to Paul” highlights the fact that
Christ didn’t come to make bad men good, but to make dead men alive! We toured the sequence to maturity: tribulation – perseverance – experience –
hope. We learned why the law was given –
and this was fascinating teaching that could only come from a topsy-turvy economy
like God’s. We learned why Christian’s
have trials. We talked about
predestination and free will, delving back into the difference in perspective
between us and God. He is outside the
constraints of time but we are trapped within it, and this one component
dramatically changes our perception.
There was so much loaded into this week, I can’t wait to watch it again!
My favorite moment in this week’s video teaching has been
thought-altering. It has actually
motivated me to do God’s will. Chuck
Missler presented a scenario where someone he knew was asked by someone else if
he was a Christian. Missler’s friend
responded, “You tell me.” That’s the
kind of Christian I want to be! Lord,
let my actions speak out loud and let them point to you.
