* It's good to suffer loss, for it draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves. * Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God.

Gospel Enthusiasm

Romans 1:7-15

"That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome" (Rom 1:15, NIV).

Questions:
  1. What are the three ways that Paul refers to the Christians in Rome (Rom 1:7)?
  2. What did Paul say about their faith (Rom 1:8)? Why?
  3. What assurance did Paul give them (Rom 1:9)?
  4. What was Paul's specific prayer request (Rom 1:10)?
  5. What reasons did Paul give as to why he wanted to see them (Rom 1:11-13)?
  6. What obligation (debt) did Paul owe (Rom 1:14a)?
  7. To whom did Paul seek to preach to (Rom 1:14b-15)? Define the terms and explain the difference.
  8. What can you learn from Paul's eagerness to preach the gospel in Rome (Rom 1:15)?

Next: Gospel Power and Righteousness (Rom 1:16-17).
