Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with
great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. [Acts 17:11 (NIV-1984)]

Study questions for Paul's Letter (Epistle) to the Romans
Why study Paul’s Letter to the Romans?
The Apostle Paul gives the Romans and we, who believe, a template for obedient behavior.
While no one likes to think that our behavior in this world will be judged, the Apostle Paul provides an overview of eternal judgment.
Our souls have been given flesh and blood to live in this world; Paul presents a glimpse into the worlds in which, upon judgment, our souls will be placed in freedom or prison.
“I am a pretty good person. Am I going to Heaven or Hell?” Do you believe in the saving grace of Christ Jesus?
The Apostle Paul asks ”Do you trust God?” And states the rationale for his trust.
Description:
The Apostle Paul’s Letter to the Romans contains a number of God-given truths that should govern our day-to-day activities, our behavior. We are God’s hands, feet, and voice in this world and Paul provides great wisdom to guide those, who believe in the saving grace of Christ Jesus. Since each of us will be judged, whether we believe in Jesus or not, we must ask ourselves this basic question: do we want to be judged against the Ten Commandments (they are not the Ten ‘Suggestions’) or redeemed by a Savior who loves you and me, and is willing to take upon Himself the eternal consequences for all of your sins, for all of my sins, that we accumulated during our lifetimes in this world. (If you say that you do not need a Savior: Dear Lord, Please have mercy upon the soul of this person. Amen.)

Description:
The Apostle Paul preached the Gospel message in the pagan City of Corinth. During his 18-month stay, he founded a fledgling church. When Paul considered the group of Believers fairly stable in their beliefs, he moved to Ephesus to continue ministering to the ’unchurched’. While in Ephesus, Paul heard disturbing news about his Corinthian Church and wrote this letter (also known as an epistle) to the Corinthians. Paul wanted to ensure that the Corinthians did not deviate from the core Gospel message that he had shared with them and had encouraged them to follow as they grew in their belief in the redeeming grace of our Lord Jesus.
