An exposition on Romans 1

This study guide offers a detailed, verse by verse exposition of Romans 1:1-4, guiding readers through Paul's opening declaration as a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ. Readers will explore the meaning of being called a servant of Christ, the significance of the apostolic gift, and the nature of God's promise as declared through the prophets in the Holy Scriptures. The study traces the genealogy of Jesus Christ from Abraham through David to Mary, examines the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and unpacks the curse of Jeconiah in relation to Christ's royal lineage through Mary rather than Joseph. It also covers the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and David, cross referencing key passages such as Galatians 3, Romans 9, Acts 13, and Hebrews 1 to build a comprehensive scriptural foundation. The final section addresses the declaration of Jesus as the Son of God through His resurrection from the dead, connecting this truth to the believer's own resurrection power in Romans 8:11. Written with extensive scripture references and historical background on the kings and prophets of Israel and Judah, this guide is part of a larger exposition series on the New Testament epistles. It is designed for serious Bible students, small group leaders, and anyone seeking a deeper, doctrinally grounded understanding of the opening verses of Romans and the mystery of the gospel of God as revealed through Jesus Christ.
