Romans 3
Lesson 1, Overview
How well do you understand this gospel which is the power of God unto
salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the
Greek?
If you had to share the gospel with a Jew, what would you say?
Are you even sure the Jews need it? Aren’t they all right just because
they’re Jews?
These are some questions we pray you will have the answers to by the
time you finish this course.
Your homework this week will be divided into two sections. If you are
new to the Precept study of Romans and have not done Romans Part 1
or Romans Part 2, then you will do the homework found under the
section “Newcomers’ Homework.”
If you have done Romans Part 1 or Romans Part 2 Precept Upon
Precept, then you need to do the “Old-Timers’ Homework.”
NEWCOMERS’ HOMEWORK
1. If this is your first Precept course, familiarize yourself with our approach to
inductive Bible study by reading “The Joy and Value of Inductive Study,”
“The Rule of Context—Context Rules!” and “Getting the Big Picture” in
How to Study Your Bible.
2. To discern the historical and cultural setting of Romans, we must place it in its
chronological setting or in its historical framework. In other words, we need to
know when Romans was written. If we know when it was written, then we
can study what was taking place in Rome, in the world, and in Christianity at
that time.
