The Book of ROMANS -- Episode #102
PAUL, for all practical purposes, should be thought of as Pastor to an EMPIRE. God calls some uniquely gifted people to be his messengers. Perhaps none was more UNIQUE than Paul. Paul, the Jewish Radical; Paul the Pharisee; Paul the unlikely Convert to Christianity; Paul the Roman Citizen, Paul the credentialed scholar. All of those attributes and many more caused the Lord to call Paul His CHOSEN INSTRUMENT (Acts 9:15). Paul would write 12 books (about one-fourth) of the New Testament. Paul would travel over 10,000 miles on four missionary journeys throughout the Empire. Paul would face prison and beatings and rejections and shipwrecks and betrayals-- but he never retreated from the call as God's Chosen Instrument. Have fun as you listen and comprehend the truths of the book of ROMANS.
