The Gospel according to Paul: Romans is unavailable, but you can change that!

It is the most systematic and logical doctrinal book of the Apostle Paul. It was not written to answer a specific problem but it is the most neutral of Paul’s writings. Paul was called to be the apostle to the Gentiles but he addresses both Jews and Gentiles and his letter shapes the life and teaching of Jesus into bedrock truths for the church of all ages.

There are three ways to view verses 3 and 4: (1) as a reference to Jesus’ two natures, human and divine; (2) as a reference to two stages in His earthly life, human and resurrected Lord; or (3) as a parallel to “Jesus Christ our Lord.” © “Jesus” The Aramaic name Jesus is the same as the Hebrew name Joshua. It was a compound of two Hebrew words “YHWH” and “salvation.” It can mean “YHWH saves,” “YHWH delivers” or “YHWH is salvation.” The thrust of the meaning can be seen in Matt. 1:21, 25. © “Christ”
