What We Learn About God From Romans 1&2

WooHoo!! We are half way through our study in Romans Part One! It has been an amazing walk. We have learned so much from the apostle Paul! And we are only in chapter 2!

Today we are going to go back into chapters 1 & 2 and walk through these passages again, but this time we are going to draw our attention to the attributes of God and what we learn about Christ and the Holy Spirit.

I start my study of Scripture by  reading a chapter first so that I have an understanding of what is being taught. Then I go back into the chapter and I slow down and look at what is being taught concerning God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit! It has been such a Blessing to me to study this way!

The main point of Bible Study is to know the God of the Scriptures! When I say “The God” of the Scriptures I am saying the “Trinity” “The God Head”, “Three in One” Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If we are not careful we tend to only think about, or put emphasizes on, one part of the Trinity and the other persons are left out. As a believer we need to know the God head! We need to read and study and understand the work of the Father, The Son and The Holy spirit! They all Three have a specific work in the salvation of a soul, and the working out of God’s plan in History. When we begin to build our foundation on the work of The Three we have a much better chance of standing firm in our walk.

Come on with me and let’s go back to Romans 1 and see what we learn!
