Lesson

- Let’s once more remind ourselves of the purpose and layout of Romans. Paul is writing the letter to 
  - Clarify the gospel, 

  - Prove God’s righteousness, and 

  - Unify the church. 

     - To this end we’ve broken down his letter into four parts:

       - 1-4: Explaining the Gospel

         - 5-8: Exploring Salvation 

         - 9-11: Engaging a Problem

         - 12-16: Encouraging the Church

- Under this last heading we saw that Pau’s basic plan for transformation is pretty simple:

  - Basis: mercies

  - Goal: wisdom / love

  - Process: Body. Mind. Church.

- And under “church” we’ve examined some “church killers” that Paul urges us to avoid:

  - We compare and compete (12-3-8)

  - We only love some people (12-13)

  - We let opinions and preferences drive us (14.1-15.13)

  - We try to go it alone (15.14-33)

- And to this list I want to add a fifth and final, easily forgettable, danger: We de-value the actual people (16.1-27)

- We live in a time when people are simultaneously idolized and de-valued. Now I don’t have time to unpack that statement, so let me just get to my point. Romans, like the rest of Scripture, knows what matters.

  - God matters most. 

  - People matter to God.

- We’ve studied Romans. Some of it anyway. Where do we go from here? In short, start or continue being gospel people.

  - Understand the gospel. 

  - Live out the gospel. 

  - Fight for the gospel.

  - Share the gospel.
