Romans 3
Lesson 1, Overview
If you will learn to reverse the process, you will be wonderfully amazed by all
that God will show you. Then when you read your commentaries, which are
important in their proper time, you will be excited to see that God has shown
you many of the same truths that He has shown the theologians. You will
begin to see that God is no respecter of persons, but that He reveals His truth,
by His Spirit, to those who diligently seek Him!
2. Reading through Romans chapter by chapter following the instructions below
will help you greatly in discerning the purpose, theme, and structure of this
book.
a. Choose a specific color for each one of the following words. Then mark
each key repeated word in the same color throughout Romans. Mark your
key repeated words on the Observation Worksheets on Romans located in
the Appendix.
1) righteous (righteousness)
2) faith
3) justification (justify, justified, justifies)
4) Law (law)
b. On page 7 is a “Cursory Observation Chart of Romans.” As you read
through each assignment throughout the week, fill in as much information
on the chart as possible.
c. We will also begin looking for Paul’s message in each chapter of Romans.
If you have never done an At a Glance chart, read the article entitled
“Develop an At a Glance Chart” under “Getting the Big Picture” in How
to Study Your Bible.
As you finish reading each chapter, write the theme of that chapter on the
“Romans at a Glance” chart, located on page 9. If there seems to be two
themes, record both themes as succinctly as possible.
3. Your assignment for today is to read Romans 1–5 using the Observation
Worksheets located in the Appendix and follow the instructions given in
number 2.
Read Romans 6–8 and follow the same procedure given in number 2 under DAY
TWO.
