It allows us to see God’s distinctiveness through what He created. Romans 1:20 (Recovery Version) states “For the invisible things of Him, both His eternal power and divine characteristics, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being perceived by the things made, so that they would be without excuse” We are surrounded by so much of the wonderful things that He created.

Paul goes on to say that men, whether Gentile and Jew, have sinned (Romans 3:9). Because of sin and our fleshly passions man was separated from God. However, to show His love for us God sent His son Jesus to die for us and be reconciled to our Father. In Romans 8:14, it states that when we are led by the Spirit of God, we gain sonship. God wants redemption not just for His chosen children, the people of Israel, but for all of mankind.

    Metanarrative Essay The Biblical metanarrative can be explained by a Christian as the true and triumphant story from the beginning in Genesis until the future is prophesied in Revelation. Others who may not be a Christian do not understand the true power and love God has over us and for us and may just simply see it as a story or a rule book that they don’t want to follow. They see the Bible and all the things and plans God has for us and our lives and just think they don’t want any part of it and instead they live in sin. It is important that these people not only learn the true story but understand it as well.

What I have taken from this study is that we all are sinners and goodly acts are not sufficient in acquiring salvation. As sons and daughters of the One Living and True God, we must reflect His qualities; it is only through faith and accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior that we can receive salvation. God’s amazing grace is what Romans is truly about!

    My own definition of worldview is set of beliefs about the most important issues in life and my reaction to it. While in agreement with Jeff Baldwin’s eyeglass concept, I choose to compare my Christian worldview to an internal navigational system. When I am lost and need to be found, Christ is omnipresent. He knows my location and guides me into another direction. “It’s a roadmap, a guide for getting around in life, for interpreting reality, and for making choices” (The Importance of Worldview, 2011, p.11). Hopefully my final destination will be in the “city of gold, as clear as glass” (NLT, Revelation, 21:18).

    The Galatians were teaching the only way to be saved was by following the law of Judaism. In fact, Moses was given the law to be handed down, which he did but Jesus Christ fulfilled the law that was given to Moses. With that being said, Jesus Christ is the way to salvation. Thus, Jesus Christ was sent to us to save us and this is exactly what Paul was teaching the Galatians. “ Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (Galatians 1:3-5,

    "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death" (Rom 8:1-2). Paul believes if you are in Christ Jesus, then you will be saved. Because of Jesus' selflessness, he has freed us from sin and death. God had created the world through wisdom and with Adam we then were under the reign of sin. Then, with the resurrection of Jesus, He freed us from the law and we entered into a period of grace with God. We are living by the Spirit in an era of grace, so therefore we should be dead to sin. Paul explains this in greater detail in the beginning of Romans in 3:9.

Paul stands out as a Christian Jew, whose conversion experience convinced him that Christ was the universal Lord under God, the agent and leader of God's kingdom. Paul thus maintained that through Christ every barrier is broken down: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus ”. Paul of Tarsus was one of the greatest orators that have ever lived, and his writings and speech mannerisms are still practiced to this day by preachers and lay people the world over. Paul went from a manual labor job to being one of the most influential writers of this century and changed the way forever that Jesus Christ, my Lord would be studied and taught over the world.

    He says that living among the believers in Rome are non-believers and that our responsibility as believers is to teach the gospel of God to them. The Jews were special because they had the Law. However, just by knowing the Law does not guarantee eternal life or that you can lead a sinful life. In ordinance with the Law, Jews had to be circumcised. However, if you were still living a sinful life, your circumcision meant nothing. It would be as if you don’t know the Lord our God. There were not only Jews in Rome but Gentiles as well. Even though the Gentiles don’t have the Law, they could be saved though their faith in Jesus Christ. God sent His one and only son to die for our sins, Paul says we need to focus a lot more of our attention on God rather than on
