Gentlemen,
Here are additional questions to help us unpack our study of Romans chapter 4. These focus specifically on vv. 14-25.
- How does the Law “bring about wrath”? (v. 15)
- What O.T. promise/verse is fulfilled in vv. 16-17?
- The NASB translates an unusual phrase by Paul in v. 18: “In hope against hope …” What does this mean?
- Paul seems to describe in vv. 19-21 a sequence of events within Abraham’s faith. What are the components?
- In which verse do we enter the discussion?
- Why does Paul connect the resurrection of Jesus to His death? (vv. 24-25).
An updated handout on chapter 4, including these questions, has been uploaded to the “Media Drop Box.”
Carl is scheduled to bring another one (or two?) of his wife’s “award-winning desserts” … you will want to arrive by 7 pm … BEFORE it’s all gone!

As I read over chapter four of Romans, I found it very interesting how Paul emphasizes the fact that Abraham was justified by faith before the law was even given. I guess I had never really thought of it in that was.
Looking forward to more discussion on this next week.
