The Book of  Romans – a Synthesis

In Bible study, many times a quick one page overview or synthesis of a book can help get an overall understanding and aid in learning the Bible. The synthesis can help organize all the many other details in a book.

  • We are saved by faith – chapters 1-8
    • Its just by Faith — Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith
    • We all are sinners — Romans 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
    • We can be made right with God through Jesus Christ — Romans 3:24  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 
    • God loves us and is for us, so He gave us His  son — Romans 5:8  But God showed his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
    • God wants to give us eternal life — Romans 6:23  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    • We will never be separated from God’s love — Romans 8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,, 39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
  • There is hope for Israel (and us)  – chapters 9-11
    • God still loves Israel — Romans 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
  • Live for God and each other (love) – chapters 12-16
    • Let your life be transformed and renewed — Romans 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
    • Live for the Lord Jesus — Rom 13:14  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof..
    • Oops, don’t judge others — Rom 14:10  But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at contempt thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
    • God will eventually deal with all evil — Rom 16:20  And the God of peace shall bruise (crush) Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

The Bible in Two Minutes

Here is a quick overview of the Bible in two minutes.

Here is the full text:

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
God, then, created man in His image for His purpose and glory.
Satan tempted them, and they disobeyed God. The sin and evil separated humankind from God.
But God made a promise of a redeemer and the rest of the Bible points to Christ the redeemer.

God called Abraham to believe Him and be the father of the nation of Israel.
The Israelites went into Egypt to survive a famine and were later enslaved there.

God chose Moses to deliver Israel from slavery and lead the nation out of Egypt.Moses received God’s law for His people.

God appointed a man after His own heart, David, to be Israel’s king.

David loved God and prepared to build God’s temple.
Israel disobeyed and rejected God, so He let other nations again capture His people.

God loves the world and sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, as God and man to the world.
Jesus is the world’s long-awaited Savior that God had promised since man fell into sin.
Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for sins, and He resurrected from the dead.
We can now come to God through Jesus Christ and no longer be separated from Him. Jesus is the only way to God!
Jesus gives eternal life to all those who believe in Him

Many people spread the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout the world, including Peter, Paul, and John. Peter testified of Jesus to the Jewish people.
Paul testified to the rest of the world and helped establish churches. Paul wrote: Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

John loved the Lord and talked much about how to receive eternal life..
Jesus will come again and bring His people into His eternal Kingdom where they will live with God forever. This final heavenly place is called the New Jerusalem.

Book of Romans – Brief Outline – First 8 Chapters

The Book of  Romans – chapters 1-8  – KJV

  • We are saved by faith – chapters 1-8
    • It’s just by Faith — Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith
    • We all are sinners — Romans 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
    • We can be made right with God through Jesus Christ — Romans 3:24  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 
    • God wants to give us eternal life — Romans 6:23  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    • God loves us and is for us, so He gave us His  son — Romans 5:8  But God showed his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
    • God’s love will never be separated from us — Romans 8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,, 39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jesus and Prayer in John 15

Jesus says in John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.  5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

Jesus is talking about abiding, a close fellowship with the Father. He is talking about how we, as believers, are like branches on a vine. He is the true vine, we obtain our spiritual nourishment from Him. This describes an organic, living and real relationship between Jesus and us, or between us and the Father.  We are simply in fellowship with Him.

The first condition, there, is, “If you abide in Me… “ Without getting into the context, there, one way to abide is to stay in the Lord, to rest in the Lord, or to remain in the Lord.  I would even say it means to do the things God wants you to do, to obey the Lord.  He says, “If you abide in Me”.  Then He says, “And if My words abide in you”.  This passage in the book of John says, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you”, you can ask whatever you will and I will do it. What words is He talking about when Jesus says, “And My words abide in you”? I believe He is specifically talking about the word He is speaking. I believe it also has to include the words of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

The Bible in Five Words

Here is a very simple version of the Bible in just five (5) words:

  • God
  • Man
  • Jesus Christ
  • Heaven
  • Hell

Now for more details:

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
God, then, created man in His image for His purpose and glory.
Satan tempted them, and they disobeyed God. The sin and evil separated humankind from God.
But God made a promise of a redeemer and the rest of the Bible points to Christ the redeemer.

God loves the world and sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, as God and man to the world.
Jesus is the world’s long-awaited Savior that God had promised since man fell into sin.
Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for sins, and He resurrected from the dead.
We can now come to God through Jesus Christ and no longer be separated from Him. Jesus is the only way to God!
Jesus gives eternal life to all those who believe in Him

Jesus will come again and bring His people into His eternal Kingdom where they will live with God forever. This final heavenly place is called the New Jerusalem.

History Is God’s Story Book

History is God’s story, so no human, world or cosmic event is a surprise to God. Timing and events are in His hands. Ultimately God will be in full control, but for a short time evil ( the Devil) has a little freedom. Ultimately God will be fully expressed through every human being, some happily in heaven, some in unhappiness in hell.

God is outside of time so He knows the beginning and the end. He is uniquely qualified to write a book like the Bible that predicts the future.

Overview of Bible Prophecy

  1. prophecy about the Lord’s first coming (happened 2000 years ago)
  2. prophecy about the Lord’s second coming (future) 
  3. some Bible prophecy is about BOTH (Isaiah 9:6, and Daniel)
  4. it seems there are more verses in the Bible about His second return, than the first.
  5. prophecy about Israel

In the Lord’s first coming, He came as a man like us and as a lamb to be crucified on a cross for our sins, then rose from the dead and ascended to heaven.

In the Lord’s second coming He will come as a warrior to conquer an evil earth that does not represent God’s character. He will rule the earth from Jerusalem.

When God speaks, He Eventually Gets His way – Jonah

God did not give-up with Jonah. He still wanted Jonah to fulfill God’s original plan, purpose or burden that God called him for.

 In Jonah 3 it says that God spoke again to Jonah. God speaks again.  God again asked Jonah to go to Nineveh, the city He had originally commissioned him to go to. Eventually Jonah obeys, goes to that city and preaches, and as a result those people turned away from their unrighteousness and to God. See more at:  Jonah in the Bible

This song was first published in 1848. Music arrangement and vocals by Julie Gaulke, see her web site at: JulieGaulkeMusic.com, the sheet music is available at: pianomomsheetmusic.weebly.com/all-things-bright-and-beautiful.html The scenery is by Drew Haninger and is from Kauai, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington state.

The Lyrics are:

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flow’r that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

The original video is in 4k video.
