Spiritual Truth Study of Romans.

Introduction to Romans

Romans is an epistle of apostle Paul. Paul was an educated Pharisee, under the discipleship of the great scripture-scholar and theologian, Gamaliel. When Stephen was stoned to death, Paul was just a teen ager. He was never a disciple of Jesus Christ when Jesus was a man. He was a rebel teen ager at the time of the Man Jesus. Then, the Lord Jesus Christ knocked him down to the floor with a bright light from heaven, and he called him to be his minister, to sanctify people by faith that is in Jesus Christ. It is in Acts 9:1-22. This was the calling of Paul by Jesus Christ. Then God taught him or revealed Jesus Christ to him in Arabia. It is in "Galatians 1:15 .., and called me by his grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus." So, Paul was a Rooky apostle, who did not have direct discipleship with the Lord, who was a rebel, and continued to be a rebel and discord with other apostles of the Lord, even after his calling. However, apostle Peter accepted him as a brother. It is in "2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." As an apostle, Peter approved and endorsed his wisdom in writing scriptures. As Peter says, Paul's writings are hard to be understood.
