    Martin Luther & Romans

    I greatly longed to understand Paul's Epistle to the Romans, and nothing stood in the way but that one expression, 'the righteousness of God', because I took it to mean that righteousness whereby God is righteous and deals righteously in punishing the unrighteous .. Night and day I pondered until ... I grasped the truth that the righteousness of God is that righteousness whereby, through grace and sheer mercy, he justifies us by faith. Thereupon I felt myself to be reborn and to have gone through open doors into paradise. The whole of Scripture took on a new meaning, and whereas before 'the righteousness of God' had filled me with hate, now it became to me inexpressible sweet in greater love. This passage of Paul became to me a gateway to heaven. - Martin Luther

  • Bible Study Questions

Each section of Romans is broken up into teaching or study sections. There is a set of Bible Studies for each set. The NASB is used but other translations can be used alongside the Bible Studies. The series of Bible Study questions is meant to lead one into the discovery of the scripture's teaching. Sometimes there is both a basic and advanced set of Bible Studies. The study Bible Studies focus on the three following parts.

  • Basic Bible Study Questions.
    These answers will be found right in the Bible passage. The NASB text is used because it is more literal. These questions will encourage one to ask, "What does the passage actually say?"

  • Application Bible Study Questions
    At the end, there is room for ones own applications. These questions will encourage one to ask, "What does the passage mean to me?" These answers are meant to be personal and have to do with ones own life. Often they have an asterisk (*) at the beginning.

  • Bonus Bible Study Questions
    The answers will not be found in the text as the general questions. One has to use other knowledge that one has gleaned over the years to answer these properly. They are meant to encourage one to dig deeper into the point of the passage. These questions would have one ask, "What does it mean?"
The BFF Bible Training CD has all the Roman study and advanced study questions in both pdf and .doc format. The lessons are altogether in one document (127 pages long) ready to be printed or first modified to your teaching style. This is just one file on the BFF Biblical Training CD that has an incredible amount of training materials.

  • Teaching Outlines/Charts/Diagrams

These outlines were designed for classroom use with overheads. Some of the materials are mere outline without much detail. Others have more details including what the teacher would say! One has to judge his own circumstances to see how to present the material to others. Each section tries to tackle a certain theme and focus on this discussion as developed from the particular text. Make sure you own the material before you teach it!

    • Commentaries

    This set of commentaries is not complete. Detailed observations and Bible Studies are brought up in these commentaries. If you haven't yet found out, most commentaries have very little discussion on the most important Bible Studies derived from the text! These notes are meant to tackle these more difficult problems. We are devoted to changing our hearts and minds to fit the teachings of the scriptures.
