Assignment Seven - The Book of Romans

'The world does not consider labor a blessing, therefore it flees and hates it, but the pious who fear the Lord labor with a ready and cheerful heart, for they know God's command and will; they acknowledge his calling." - Martin Luther, 14-83 - 1546

This is a book that was also written by Paul. Its uniqueness stems from the fact that Paul wrote it to a church he had never personally visited. This is described as the best doctrinal book in the New Testament. A warning by Tim LaHaye: "Dong be surprised if you find yourself rereading some sections several times." It will probably be difficult to maintain a three-chapter-a-day reading program while reading the book of Romans. But you can try!

There are 16 chapters in the book of Romans. If we read only two per day, we may finish our assignment in good time, however if, on most days, we really attempt to read three chapters, we are free to do a good bit of rereading. :-)

May God continue to bless us in our reading.
