    Paul has taken the first eleven chapters of Romans to talk doctrine. For example, he begins with the righteousness of God. It is one of the basic doctrines of Scripture. He says that the Bible is a revelation of the righteousness of God. He also firmly declares that he is not ashamed of the Gospel because it reveals the power of God to save us.He continues by saying that the righteous (those of us who have have accepted the sacrifice of Jesus) will live by faith - faith in God and the sacrifice He has provided. He also presents the doctrine of the depravity of man in no uncertain terms. Man is a sinner and in great need of the sacrifice of Jesus. He concludes that the entire world stands convicted before this righteous God. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. This means that everyone is in need of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross.In chapter ten Paul tells us how to appropriate that sacrifice. It is a matter of believing in one's heart and confessing publicly that Jesus is Lord. It is a pure and simple act of faith in the sacrifice Jesus made on that little hill outside Jerusalem.Beginning with chapter twelve Paul discusses some of the changes one experiences when he accepts the sacrifice of Jesus. The act of believing that Jesus is Lord includes the giving of one's body totally to Christ (Romans 12:1). Once a Believer gives himself to Christ a dramatic transformation begins. This change begins with the transforming of the new Believer's mind. Paul calls it a renewing of the mind. The thinking of the saved person is totally and radically transformed. This transformation enables the convert to determine what is the "...good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:2).It is interesting that the renewing of one's mind begins with how he thinks about himself. Then the change continues with the Believer's mind being changed in the way he thinks about others. He has a new love (agape) which affects his opinion and actions toward others. His thinking is even changed toward the state - the government and persons in positions of authority.Paul's conclusion is that the Christian is to discard the works of darkness and put on Jesus Christ. It is all a part of the wonderful change that is effected by a belief in the only begotten Son of God.Romans twelve Paul begins what preachers refer to as the "application." Now that he has presented the great doctrines of the Bible what is the Christian to do with them? Beginning with chapter twelve Paul applies the doctrines of the first eleven chapters to the life of the Believer.The one who believes in Jesus will, indeed, walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4).

    In Paul's world religion was believed to be based on works. There were sacrifices to be offered, religious days to be observed and a host of other rituals which a person must obey if he were to be "clean" and fit to participate in them. The Scribes read and interpreted the Old Testament laws while the Pharisees dedicated themselves to observing them. The interpretation of the Old Testament laws was so strict that observance was virtually impossible. In fact, they were so strict that a non-Jew was required to "become a Jew" if he hoped to enter eternal life. Paul comes declaring a new doctrine. The Gentile did not have to be circumcised and observe Jewish rituals to be saved. He could be saved by simply believing in Jesus as the Son of God. Even those Jews who were bound by the restrictions of Jewish Law could lay their works aside and be saved by faith. Jesus described the Jewish interpretation of the Law as "burdens grevious to be borne," With the crucifixion, a new day had arrived. Both Jew and Gentile could forever lay aside the restraints of Jewish Law and be saved by simple faith in Jesus Christ.

    Romans eight is considered among the greatest chapters in the Bible. It begins by saying that there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. It continues by showing that the Christian cannot be defeated because he is in Christ Jesus. Then it concludes with the grand statement that there is nothing that can separate the Believer from Christ Jesus.These things are possible because anyone who is in Christ Jesus is free from the "law of sin and death." Our failure to live by the standards God set left us guilty sinners. Our guilt left us separated from God and facing the punishment of eternal hell. Through Jesus salvation from this punishment is available. To say that one is a Believer is to say that he has taken advantage of the salvation offered him.In chapter nine Paul reviews how the Jews rejected the sacrifice of Christ and sought peace with God on the basis of observance of the Law. Even though they were the chosen people through which God would present the Messiah to the world, they rejected Him. This rejection prompted the spreading of the Good News to the Gentile world. In a sense the Jews' rejection of the Messiah became the salvation of the rest of the world. Paul concluded chapter nine by saying that "whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed." The "whosoever" includes anyone, both Jew and Gentile . To say that the one who believes in Christ will not be ashamed is to say that he will not be disappointed in his decision to follow Him.Notice the ending of chapter eight. The Believer will not, cannot be separated from Christ. Now notice how Paul ends chapter nine. The Believer will never be ashamed (confounded, disappointed) in deciding to follow Christ.

    The great Apostle Paul says in Ephesians 2:7 that one of the reasons for our salvation is "[t]hat in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. He then follows that by saying in verse 8 that salvation is the end result grace. Then he explains that God's grace is released by faith. "For by grace are ye saved through faith...," he explains. Much is said about the wonderful grace of God. The big question lies in how we are to get that grace flowing in our direction.The author uses Romans 4 and 5 to show how the Grace of God is made available to everyone. There is only one way - faith. Even the great Abraham had to come by faith. It is the way all must come if they are to share in the wonderful grace of God.
