Growing up in a Christian household God has been very gracious to me and I am extremely thankful for that. I am going to discuss how Romans 1-8 has shaped my biblical worldview in the aspects of the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.
The natural world has two different aspects during the first eight verses of Romans. They are the human and spiritual worlds. We, the human aspect, are on one end of the spectrum where our sin equals death and ultimately our redemption through God. On the other side of the spectrum is GOD and his perfect son Jesus Christ. Where our relationship with Christ through his blood leads to our faith and ultimately our righteousness.

About hypocrisy Paul states, " For he is not a Jew, which is one inwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men but of God." (Rom 2:28-29) One of the main reason that Atheism exists is because we do not act like Christ. They see us acting of the world and they point it out every chance they get. The next point that Paul teaches us about human relationships is that no one is righteous. "What then are we better than they? No, in no wise for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, there is none righteous; no, not one;" (Rom 3:9-10) Paul also tells us how to approach our faith in public "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." (Rom 1:16) Sometimes we have a hard time standing up for Christ in this culture. We can 't talk about him at work, school, or in public. We need to quit being ashamed of the Gospel, it is the only way that we can fix the state that our country is in. Our founders stood on the Gospel while they created this great nation, but we cower when …show more content…
Paul 's life from a persecutor of Christians to the man who wrote half of the New Testament that brought countless of wretched souls including me to God. Paul has taught me the main theme of these chapters and that is Redemption. I believe everyone needs to meet Christ and Christ will forgive anyone. Being in the military you meet a lot of people from different backgrounds. Two of the best Soldiers that I have met through my years in the military were homosexuals. One is a gay male the other is a married lesbian I believe that they need the love of God the same way that I need the love of God. Christ didn 't come back for the Christians that shun these type of people; he came back for the sick, the imprisoned, and the sinners. Paul was the biggest sinner by sending Gods people to their deaths and Jesus still came to him on the road to Damascus and changed his life. If Paul can be saved then who can
