Bible Study Guide for the Book of Romans

Romans

Romans Bible Study

Like all the other books in the New Testament, the book of Romans has the potential to completely and totally change the way you walk through life as a Christian. Each and every member of Christ’s Church should be diligent to dig deep into the truths contained in this book and mine it’s depths for the God’s truth.

My Bible study method for this great book of the Bible will be in line with what Dr. John MacArthur and others have taught. Namely, that to get a deeper and more fulfilling understanding of the Word of God, it’s best to read the word repetitiously. I’ll be breaking the 16 chapters of Romans up into three sections. Romans chapters 1-7 will be Section 1, 2-14 will be Section 2, while chapters 15 & 16 will make up Section 3. As Section 3 is only two chapters, I’ll also be studying 1 John in the same month as it is 5 chapters and keeps up the proper flow.

For my own benefit, I’ll also be reading one chapter of Psalms and one Chapter of Proverbs each day as well. You can find out more about exactly how this system works by visiting the main Bible Study page where there is an outline of this systematic method of studying God’s Word.

That being said, below are the most recent posts that go over the Book of Romans…


Romans 8-14

February 1st, 2010

My February Bible study is continuing through the next seven chapters of the book of Romans. Now that I’ve begun adding Super Study resources into my study routine it’s become abundantly clear that there is so much contained in this section of scripture that powering through it at such a pace almost does an injustice to the text.

Never the less, I’m going to continue on the intended path. I’m tempted to “bear down” right now and spend the next six months just studying this power-packed book. Of course, there are only so many hours in the day and such a course would mean that I would have to sacrifice the study of other books in order to focus on this one. Since that’s not the general idea for this pattern of bible study, I’m going to stick to the original plan.

Here is the quick study outline that can be used to memorize the major themes of this set of chapters:

As is typical, I’ll be adding insights I’ve gleaned from my personal Bible study time in this section of scripture in the comments section below. If you want to add your own thoughts or comments, feel free to do so and I’ll make sure they show up asap.


Romans 1-7

January 23rd, 2010

This month, our Bible study will be focused on the first seven chapters of the book of Romans.

Quick Study Outline of this section of scripture for memorization:

Romans 1: Not ashamed of the gospel. God is revealed through nature, but men reject God and become more and more sinful.

Romans 2: God will pass out judgment and rewards one day. Gentiles have the law written on their hearts. True circumcision is of the heart.

Romans 3: All men are sinners, none are righteous. Man is justified by faith in the blood of Jesus without works.

Romans 4: Abraham was saved by faith…believers are saved by faith as well.

Romans 5: Results of justification by faith. Adam brought death to many, Christ brings life to many.

Romans 6: Believers are dead to sin and raised as servants of righteousness.

Romans 7: Married to Christ. The temporary Christian struggle with sin.
