Romans 1 The Gospel of Christ is the Power of God unto Salvation

This is what i studied this week in my online religion class in the New Testament!

1.       Christ is both the Son of God and the son of David he was born through God through the seed of David. Being born through both he reigns in the Heavens and on Earth meaning that he can rule and reign anywhere at all times in heaven and Earth. It was essential for Christ to be both mortal and immortal because he needed to be able to choose to give his life for the sins of the world. If he was completely mortal someone could have killed him at any time, there needed to be a conscious and willing sacrifice.
2.       It seems that Paul is very black and white concerning the gospel. He doesn’t have any room for excuses regarding unrighteousness, he is proud to stand up for his Lord.
-I think that just by living the gospel standards in today’s world and not being ashamed to do so even though it’s not “cool” or not what everyone around you may be doing. A good example can never be underestimated. Also to know why we live this way and to not say my church makes me but to stand up and be confident in the gospel.
3.       Peoples sins (there are many more listed in Romans 1:21-32)
a.       Ungratefulness
b.      Vain
c.       Corrupted the image of God
d.      Unchaste
e.      Unclean
f.        Lies
g.       False idols
h.      Unnatural
i.         Fornication
j.        Covetousness
k.       Murder
l.         Pride
m.    All possible bad things
All these sins are a problem today, they commit them because it brings worldly pleasures, and they are too lazy to change and take the better path.

-to serve the creature more than the creator means to worship false idols and to have things of the world that mean more to us than God does who created us and therefore created all things on the Earth.
