Apostle Paul's Letter To Colossians
Colossians is a letter written by the Apostle Paul to the church at Colosse. The theme of this letter is the gift of Christ being in you through the inhabitance of the Holy Spirit. Heresy had broken out in the church, misleading young believers. Epaphras, the founder of the church, recognized the urgency of the issue and went to Rome to bring it to Paul’s attention. In his response letter, Paul emphasized the completeness of us in Christ; He is our head. The theme of this letter can be broken down even further into four parts: building downward, upward, inward, and outward. Paul urged the believers to be built downward with a firm, unshaking foundation in Christ. Paul knew that a firm foundation was needed in order for the new believers to

    Romans Epistle Analysis

    In the epistle of Romans Paul is introducing himself to the Romans and explains the message he plans on teaching before he arrives in Rome. The epistle was sent from Corinth before Paul had sailed of for Troas during Paul’s second missionary journey. Paul had friends in Rome, whom he had planned to visit on several occasions, but had always been prevented from doing so. He had several reasons for being interested in the Roman church: his desire to see the imperial city, their need for instruction, his desires to stop any Judaizing activity, and his hope for possible support for mission to Spain. The central theme of Romans is the revelation of the righteousness of God to man, and its application to mans spiritual needs (Tenney 1985, 304–305).…

    Summary Of Paul's Letter To Parks Church

    Almost like he is proving to the community he is writing to that he was qualified to give them direction. In 1 Corinthians 1:1 Paul states “Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes.” Sosthenes was probably a person that the Corinthians respected because Paul uses his name and God to give himself more validation with the Corinthian community. I modeled the opening of my letter mainly on this excerpt by saying Paul was “called upon to spread God’s great knowledge”. I then concluded the opening of my letter with “so that we may live unified lives under him.…

    Significance Of Paul's Letter To Philemon

    While an examination of Paul’s Letter to Philemon suggests that the Bible calls for leniency in the treatment of fugitive slaves, especially when master and slave both share the status of being Christian, contrasting Paul’s treatment of Onesimus to the treatment fugitive slaves typically received at the hands of the Roman system of slavery that Paul was familiar with makes this fact virtually undeniable. Furthermore, it strongly suggests that the Bible breaks from systems of slavery that encourage the abuse and chastisement of fugitive slaves, especially when master and slave share the status of being Christian. The Roman attitude towards fugitive slaves is exemplified well in the digest of Roman law compiled by the order of Justinian the first…

    John also wrote a letter to the believers to get them back on track, to show the difference between light and darkness, and to encourage the church to grow in genuine love for God and for one another. This letter was to also assure the believers of eternal life and genuine faith so they could enjoy the full benefit of their position of children of god. A second letter was written to warn believers against supporting false teachers. John also addressed the importance of Christian responsibility to support preachers and missionaries. Later John wrote a third letter addressed to Galius, the importance of hospitality, in which Galius was later commended for. Diotrephes was condemned for his lack of hospitality and wanting to take control of the church. (3 John 9:10) The sins of the church such as pride, jealousy, and slander are still present in the church.…

    Analysis Of Paul's Letter To Philemon

    In the words of Pastor Terry Hill when asked about his opinion on issues that may send some souls to to Heaven and others to Hell, "I will always lean towards mercy and grace.” Philemon is a perfect example of a man learning to reflect Christ in how he chooses to counter culturally give mercy and grace. We as believers are all a part of the same body and thus receive the same status of sons and daughters. Sadly, this equality is not always displayed as it should be. Paul's letter to Philemon shows us as children of God to respect each other instead of conforming to the societal norms of slavery.…

    Christian Worldview: Paul's Letter To The Romans

    A worldview is how someone sees life, reasons for making decision, and the filter they use to understand life and everything in it (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011). Knowing what a worldview is makes it easier to understand what a Christian Worldview is. A Christian Worldview uses the Bible as its filter for understanding the world around us and how we should act. Paul addresses a lot of perspectives of the Christian Worldview in his letter to the Romans. Paul touches on the Christian worldview in the areas of the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.…

    Letter Of Philippians By John Reumann Summary

    John Reumann helps us to better understand the letter of Philippians. He thinks that the one who wrote the letter was Paul but he also says that the letter of Philippians is a combination of three separate letters which Paul had written to the Philippian churches. Reumann offers a general presentation taken after an investigation of Interpretation, Notes and Criticism. The compact presentation establishes Reumann's view that the letter to the Philippians includes three initially isolated Pauline letters made in Ephesus: Letter A (4: 10-20), dating from 54 CE; Letter Β (1: 1-3: 1, sections 4: 1-9 and 4: 21-23), sent at the end of 54 to the middle of 55 from prison; and the letter C (3: 2-21, sections 4: 1-9), written in 55 CE after Paul was…
