PURPOSE OF ROMANS
Paul gives a theological foundation
to his mission to the Gentiles to legitimize it
and to encourage support for its extension
in the western Mediterranean.

THE SHORT ANSWER:
ROMANS 1:17They are saved by the revealed
righteousness from God.
![Page 20: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
‘righteousness from God’ 1:17
Ethnic connections? Covenant obligations? Trust in the Living God
![Page 21: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ROMANS 1:18
Paul’s main argument in his
“theology of salvation” begins.
He first indicts
the Gentile world in 1:18-32.
![Page 22: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1:18 “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness.”
Paul begins like this because he is arguing that our salvation
can only be God-centered.
![Page 23: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
WHAT IS ‘WRATH’?
Romans 2:5
But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against
yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
![Page 24: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
WHAT IS ‘WRATH’?
2 Thessalonians 1:6-10
6 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from
heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the
gospel of our Lord Jesus.9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might 10 on the day he
comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed.

WHAT IS ‘WRATH’?
Romans 1:18
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven.

WHAT IS ‘WRATH’?
1.The Righteous Judgment of God against Sin
2.The Subjective Effects of Sin in our Lives
![Page 27: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Romans 1:19-2019 For what can be known about God is plain to
them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that
have been made. So they are without excuse.
![Page 28: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Romans 1:21-2321 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became
futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they
became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man
and birds and animals and creeping things.
![Page 29: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Romans 1:24-2524 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their
hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and
worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
![Page 30: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Lev 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Lev 20:13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an
abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
The Sexual Code of Leviticus
![Page 31: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Romans 1:26-2726 For this reason God gave them up
to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are
contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were
consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving
in themselves the due penalty for their error.
![Page 32: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
1. A Creator-centered society can become creature-centered.
2. In a Creator-centered society the “natural” purpose of sex is the procreation of children within a stable
family. Homosexual sex is contrary to this purpose.
3. In a creature-centered society, people seek their own sexual fulfillment without regard for the
Creator’s purpose for sex. This is why homosexual sex becomes a “human right.”
![Page 33: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Romans 1:28-3128 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge
God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled
with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy,
murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent,
haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

DISCUSSION QUESTION:
When we evangelize, how should we talk
about wrath?
![Page 35: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Romans 2
Paul talks about the Jews, but only to further his argument about the
Gentiles.
His logic is: ‘If the Jew can’t be saved by the law, because they break the law, then
neither can the Gentile.’
![Page 36: R OMANS Paul’s “Theology of Salvation” THE APPIAN WAY LEADING TO ROME](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a848e6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

“Does God still have a special relationship with the Jews?”
But he’s wandering !

Romans 3:9-20
Paul returns to his argument supporting God’s indictment against humanity.
Romans 3:20 - ‘No one (Jew or Gentile) is righteous in his sight by observing the law.’
