Romans (BC-303)

About this course

Paul's letter to the Romans is a powerful revelation of many of the core truths and doctrines of the Christian faith. The apostle Paul, through the Holy Spirit unveils the mystery of God's redemptive plan. Starting with creation, he covers the sinfulness of man, God's plan of salvation, the role of faith and the abundance of God's grace, God's wonderful gift of righteousness, the power of redemption and identification on the Cross, the victorious Christian life through the Holy Spirit, God's plan for Israel and the Church, and the practice of Christian life and ministry. No preparation for the Christian life and ministry is complete without a thorough study and understanding of Romans. This course is a verse-by-verse study of the book of Romans that will not only enlighten, but also impart the power of God's redemption to our lives personally. Like Paul we will shout our victory over sin, condemnation, the flesh, and everything Adam brought us in subjection to. We will discover that everything Adam put us under, Jesus set us over, so that we can reign in life. We will discover that the presence of the life-giving Spirit in us liberates us from the dominion of sin and death. We can live transformed lives as we renew our minds to the truths unveiled to us in Romans. This is a life changing study! Get ready to be set free!
