OC Bereans

Gentlemen,

Our Monday night study continues to grow numerically … let’s all match that in our personal spiritual growth!  The following questions for Romans 3:1-31 should help prepare us for our time together.

In addition, you may want to listen to this chapter.  Two options are available in the “Bible Study Tools” section of the right-side toolbar.  You can either listen via your computer to six different English versions, or you can download an mp3 of each chapter, burn it to a CD, then listen in your car.

1. Why are these natural questions for Paul’s audience to ask? (v. 1)
2. What does it mean to be “entrusted with the oracles of God”? (v. 2)
3. Describe a time in your life when you felt like your unbelief nullified God’s faithfulness. (v. 3)
4. What O.T. passage is Paul quoting in v. 4?
5. What does Paul mean by his hypothetical statement in v. 5?
6. What O.T. passage is quoted in vv. 10-12?
7. What O.T. passages are quoted in v. 13?
8. What O.T. passage is quoted in v. 14?
9. What O.T. passage is quoted in vv. 15-17?
10. What O.T. passage is quoted in v. 18?
11. Define “redemption.” (v. 24)
12. Define “propitiation.” What O.T. event was a metaphor for this? (v. 25)
13. Cite suitable cross-references from Paul’s letters for v. 27.

Download the handout for this study at the “Media Drop Box” located at the right-side toolbar, under “Bible Study Tools.”

Dessert is served at 7 pm, with the study starting minutes after that!
