Biblical Worldview Essay (Romans 1-8)
In the Book of Romans Paul wrote many letters answering questions about the human world, mankind’s relations with God, the natural world and most importantly the plan of salvation. Paul wrote these letters to tell the truth, to tell that no matter what race or religion, we are all sinner and the only way to truly become righteous is though faith in Jesus Christ. In Rome at that time you had two extremes of people, the heathens, and those who thought they were holier than thou (Jews). In todays society we still have those two extremes but we also have a middle ground, those who are straddling the fence. Paul just wanted the entire human race to know that we are guilty before God for both past and future sins.
The main focuses of these chapters were salvation, God’s sovereignty, God’s righteousness, and judgment. The book of Romans also shows that the natural world will become so corrupt. It predicts some of what we’re dealing with today in the terms of homosexuality. Romans 1:26 states, “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature; And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet” means that mankind will start doing things against our nature.
God created us all; therefore no one should have an upper hand over another. It’s because of the Social ranking in todays society that we become different and separate ourselves from people who don’t look like us, talk like us, have what we have etc.… The way God created us, our original human identity, was to be able to consciously see Gods handiwork or prescience in things including in us. Humans are without excuse because in Romans 1:19 it says, “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath
