1. -How did Paul seek to persuade his hearers concerning Jesus?
-Why did he do this? |
-By using both the Law of Moses and the Prophets.

4. (Therefore) What should someone be told before he hears the Good News of his fine being paid?

-The Law shows them their own sin according to The Holy Standard and leaves them guilty before God. -(Rom. 3:19 "Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.") |
