10. Romans 1:1, “Christ”
• NAU Romans 1:1 Paul, a bond-servant of Christ
Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of
God,
• This short book of Romans uses the word “Christ”
more than any other NAU book of the Bible, 66X’s.
“Christ” is not His last name, but His office. It is also
not a cuss word.
• <5547> Χριστός Christos, Meaning: the Anointed
One, Messiah, Christ…
• Origin: from 5548; = chrio, Meaning: to anoint

11. Romans 1:1, “the gospel of God”
• NAU Romans 1:1 …set apart for the gospel of God, 2
which He promised beforehand through His prophets in
the holy Scriptures,
• What is “the gospel of God” of the OT?
• The phrase “the gospel of God” is not used in the OT. But
the good news message in the OT is that the Messiah
would come to earth, defeat His enemies, set up an
earthly kingdom, seated on the throne of David, restore
nature, and the Jews. Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, 11:11, 63:1, Psalm
2:6-12, 23, 45:3-6 (Heb 1:8), 110:2

12. Romans 1:1, “the gospel of God”
• The Berean Call says, “The phrase the “Gospel of God” (7 X’s in
KJV) is only used by Paul.
• The one passion of Paul's life was to proclaim the Gospel of
God. He welcomed heart-breaks, disillusionments, tribulation,
for one reason only, because these things kept him in
unmoved devotion to the Gospel of God.”
• --Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest)
• DLK adds, “However, there is a textual variant resulting in the
NAU using it also in; Mark 1:14.”

13. Romans 1:1, “the gospel of God”
• The phrase “the gospel of God” is used 8 X’s in the NT,
in the present, passed, and future tense.
• NAU Matthew 24:14 "This gospel of the kingdom
shall be [future] preached in the whole world as a
testimony to all the nations, and then the end will
come.
• NAU Romans 1:1 Paul… set apart [present] for the gospel
of God,
• NAU 2 Corinthians 11:7 …I preached [past] the gospel
of God to you…

14. Romans 1:1,
“the gospel of the kingdom”
• The “gospel of the kingdom” was preached by Christ (1st. coming),
and will be again just before the second coming;
• NAU Matthew 4:23 Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching
in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the
people. 24 The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they
brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases
and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them.
• NAU Luke 17:20 Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to
when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said,
"The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; 21 nor
will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the
kingdom of God is in your midst."

15. Romans 1:1, “my gospel” (Paul)
• Paul referred to “my gospel” 3X’s;
• NAU Romans 2:16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God
will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.
• The gospel of the church age is Paul’s gospel;
• NAU Romans 16:25 Now to Him who is able to establish you
according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ…
• NAU 2 Timothy 2:8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead,
descendant of David, according to my gospel, 10 …they also may
obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus…
• NAU 1 Corinthians 15:1 … the gospel which I preached to you… 3
…Christ died for our sins… 4 …He was buried, and …raised on the
third day…

16. Romans 1:1, “gospel of the kingdom”
• NAU Romans 1:1 … the gospel of God…
• NAU Matthew 24:14 "This gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony
to all the nations, and then the end will come.
• The gospel of the last days (Great Tribulation, after
the rapture) will be the “gospel of the kingdom” just
like at Christ's first coming.
• Hang in there, the King is coming, He will, destroy His
enemies, restore everything, and set up His Kingdom.

17. Romans 1:1, “an eternal gospel”
• NAU Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an
eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation
and tribe and tongue and people; 7 and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God,
and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him
who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters." 8 And
another angel, a second one, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the
great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her
immorality." 9 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a
loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on
his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the
presence of the Lamb. 11 "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and
ever; they have no rest day and night,
• The “eternal gospel” is still yet different. A warning of judgment to Earth
Dwellers.

18. The Word “grace” is not in Mark or
Matthew
• NAU Romans 1:5 through whom we have
received grace and apostleship to bring about the
obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His
name's sake,
• Luke 2:40 The Child continued to grow and
become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the
grace of God was upon Him.
• The Word “grace” is not in Mark, or Matthew
• But it’s used the most in Romans

19. Romans 1:8, “y'all”
• NAU Romans 1:8 First, I thank my God
through Jesus Christ for you all, because your
faith is being proclaimed throughout the
whole world.
• NAU 1 Corinthians 16:24 My love be with you
all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
• In the South, “y'all” is singular, “all y'all” is
plural.

Ancient Maps Of The World
• early Western Han periodOne of the more well-known maps is the circular
Harris map. China is depicted in the center of the map, surrounded by the rest
of the world. The map does contain labels for many features around the world.
Early Chinese mapmakers were fond of naming a land after a distinctive
creature found there. For example, Australia – which is accurately depicted as
being south of China – is called "Land of the Fire Rat people." This is thought to
be a reference to the red kangaroo, which is common there. North America is
described fairly accurately as being about 3,300 miles east to west and north to
south. Ancient Chinese mapmakers were fascinated with the Columbia River
system of the American Northwest because on a map it looks like the Chinese
characters for the word "dragon." Because of this feature, the map calls North
America "Uncle Dragon Country."
• The claims that 4,000 years ago man could not have known this much about the
world are based on evolution. As more becomes known, the facts of history are
combining with the facts of science to disprove evolution.”

26. Romans 1:16, Preaching The Gospel
• Compass notes that the word, “Gospel, literally translated, means
"good news." It's not good advice on how to live, and it certainly
doesn't mean we should build a better world or personal life. It
simply means God has provided a way out of hell and into heaven
as a free gift to all who trust Jesus with their destiny. Paul said:
• I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you,
which also you received, in which you stand, by which you are
saved. . . . Christ died for our sins...was buried, and that He was
raised on the third day according to the scriptures. —
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
• We are encouraged to share this good news in every situation
where God opens a door. praying . . . that God may open up to us
a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of
Christ. —Colossians 4:3
• For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for
salvation to everyone who believes. —Romans 1:16”

27. Romans 1:17, Our Righteousness Was
By Christ’s Obedience To God's Law
• NAU Acts 17:31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge
the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has
appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from
the dead.”
• NAU Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the
power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew
first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is
revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "BUT THE RIGHTEOUS
man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.” (Hab 2:4)
• NAU Romans 3:21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness
of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the
Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus
Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;

shall dwell in safety; and this is the name by which she shall be called:

32. THE END

33. Question: "What is common grace?"
• Question: "What is common grace?"
Answer:The doctrine of common grace pertains to the sovereign grace of God bestowed upon all of mankind regardless of theirelection. In other words, God has always bestowed His
graciousness on all people in all parts of the earth at all time. Although the doctrine of common grace has always been clear in Scripture, in 1924, the Christian Reformed Church (CRC)
adopted the doctrine of common grace at the Synod of Kalamazoo (Michigan) and formulated what is known as the “three points of common grace.”
The first point pertains to the favorable attitude of God toward all His creatures, not only toward the elect. “The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made” (Psalm 145:9). Jesus
said God causes “his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous” (Matthew 5:45) and God “is kind to the ungrateful and wicked” (Luke 6:35).
Barnabas and Paul would later say the same thing: “He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts
with joy” (Acts 14:17). In addition to His compassion, goodness, and kindness, God also sheds His patience upon both the elect and the non-elect. While God’s patience for His own is
undoubtedly different from His patience with those whom He has not chosen, God still exercises “longsuffering” toward those whom He has not chosen (Nahum 1:3). Every breath that the
wicked man takes is an example of the mercy of our holy God.
The second point of common grace is the restraint of sin in the life of the individual and in society. Scripture records God directly intervening and restraining individuals from sinning.
InGenesis 20, God restrained Abimelech from touching Sarah, Abraham’s wife, and affirmed it to him in a dream by saying, “Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept
you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her” (Genesis 20:6). Another example of God restraining the wicked hearts of evil men is seen in God’s protection of the land
of Israel from being invaded by the pagan nations on their border. God commanded the men of Israel that three times a year they would leave their plot of land to go and appear before Him
(Exodus 34:23). To ensure the protection of God’s people from invasion during these times, even though the pagan nations surrounding them desired their land year-round, God promised
that “no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God” (Exodus 34:24). God also restrained David from taking revenge on Nabal for
scorning the messengers that David sent to greet Nabal (1 Samuel 25:14). Abigail, Nabal’s wife, recognized God’s grace when she pleaded with David not to seek vengeance against her
husband, “since the Lord has kept you, my master, from bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hands…” (1 Samuel 25:26). David acknowledged this truth by responding, “As
surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has kept me from harming you…” (1 Samuel 25:34).
This second point of common grace not only includes God’s restraining of evil, but also His sovereignly releasing it for His purposes. When God hardens the hearts of individuals (Exodus
4:21;Joshua 11:20;Isaiah 63:17), He does so by releasing His restraint on their hearts, thereby giving them over to the sin that resides there. In His punishment of Israel for their rebellion, God
gave “them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices” (Psalm 81:11-12). The passage of Scripture best known for speaking of God’s releasing of restraint is found inRomans
1where Paul describes those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. God “gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one
another” (Romans 1:28).
The third point of common grace as adopted by the CRC pertains to “civic righteousness by the unregenerate.” This means that God, without renewing the heart, exercises such influence that
even the unsaved man is enabled to perform good deeds toward his fellow man. As Paul said of a group of unregenerate Gentiles, they “do by nature things required by the law, they are a law
for themselves, even though they do not have the law” (Romans 2:14). The necessity of God restraining the hearts of the unredeemed becomes clear when we understand the biblical
doctrine oftotal depravity. If God did not restrain the evil that resides in the hearts of all men, hearts which are “deceitful and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9), humanity would have
destroyed itself centuries ago. But because He works through common grace given to all men, God’s sovereign plan for history is not thwarted by their evil hearts. In the doctrine of common
grace, we see God’s purposes stand, His people blessed, and His glory magnified.
