The vast size of the Roman Empire meant that it incorporated many different people groups who followed many different religions. Christians were thus often confronted with practices mandated by the local authorities where they lived that went against their faith in Jesus. But even more problematic, they were also often confronted with worldviews and systems of belief that went against their faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis was especially true of the believers who lived in the capital city of Rome. So it was that when Paul decided to visit the city, he first sent them a letter outlining the key principles and \"doctrines\" of the Christian faith. Paul explained what humans are really like (sinful), what God has done to provide an escape from the consequences of humanity's sin, and what a lifestyle that goes out of a Christian worldview looks like. Today, we need to know the same! We need to have a \u003cem\u003edeep\u003c\/em\u003e understanding of what we believe so we know how to respond when faced with other beliefs that go against Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach study in the \u003cem\u003eNIV Application Commentary Resources \u003c\/em\u003eseries employs a three-step process to help you understand both the historical meaning of a biblical text and its relevance in modern times. The \u003cem\u003eoriginal meaning\u003c\/em\u003e section reveals the questions and concerns the author was addressing. The \u003cem\u003epast to present\u003c\/em\u003e section then explains what significance the original audience would have found in the passage and what significance you can find in it today. Finally, the questions that accompany each section will help you specifically apply the author's words and teachings and find meaning in them for what you are facing in your life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLessons: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gospel of Righteousness by Faith (Romans 1-32; 3:21-26)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddicted to Sin (Romans 2:1-3:20)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Righteousness of God (Romans 3:21-4:25)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeace and Hope (Romans 5:1-21)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreedom from Sin (Romans 6:1-23)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreedom from the Law (Romans 7:1-25)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife in the Spirit (Romans 8:1-39)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Problem of Israel (Romans 9:1-10:21)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsrael's Future (Romans 11:1-36)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Transformed Life (Romans 12:1-21)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove and Law (Romans 13:1-14)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Together (Romans 14:1-16:27)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Paper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMoo, Douglas J.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eDouglas J.
