We are going to begin this evening a very significant study. And I'm speaking about
beginning the book of Romans for a believer and I want to emphasize that for a believer, there
is not a more significant book than the book of Romans. Because the apostle Paul, he lays out
so many biblical truths, theological doctrine that you and I must understand, if we're going to
walk in this world, that means if we're going to have a testimony before God, that He is well
pleased with. So take out your Bible and look with me to that book, Paul's a pistol to the
Romans and chapter one. Now, the first thing that we need to realize and as we get more into
this book, the early chapters, we will see that Paul makes his points, using much from a Jewish
culture. There were many Jewish individuals living in Rome. And fact, one of the things that's
unique about the Jewish community in Rome was that they had their own style of prayer that
was unique to Rome. And this goes back before the time of Paul, it was a historical community
of Jewish individuals.
