There are controversies and divisions in Christianity, but we can overcome and heal from most of these if we just renew our focus on the Gospel.
Philosophy
How then shall we live?
Throughout the book of Romans, Paul has comforted the Roman believers by redirecting them back to the Gospel. It is through a renewed commitment and understanding of the Gospel that we see everything in perspective and have our hope and joy restored.
In Romans 12, Paul begins to discuss how we should respond to the Gospel, and how we should live in light of the Gospel.
Salvation (Romans 10)
After discussing God’s overall plan with Israel, and mankind, the Apostle Paul returns to the theme of Salvation by grace through faith, emphasizing the need to spread the Gospel and build our faith through the study of the word.
