Daniel Dong-won Lee's the story of Romans simply explained

책 소개

Prologue The exposition on the Letter to the Romans was one of my preaching aspirations. The reason I delayed the exposition on the Letter to the Romans was because I believed that I had to grow spiritually mature in order to clearly and easily approach this masterpiece. Nevertheless, the reason why this exposition was expedited ahead of schedule is due to the church planting ministry of Global Mission Church in Korea. I believe that the unique foundation for firmly establishing a church at a particular location is none other than the gospel, and the book that more clearly and logically makes certain the gospel than any other is the Letter to the Romans. Going a step further, since the Letter to the Romans not only presents the gospel teaching but also the gospel life, I wanted to see the Church established for the sake of the glory of the gospel. In reality, the gospel that appears in this book saved Rome, and the love that is revealed in this book transformed Rome. Likewise, I believe that this same gospel can save the Korea of today and transform the Korea of today. For that reason, the Letter to the Romans is a testimony of my affection for this nation, my country. Nevertheless, the 1st goal of the Letter to the Romans is aimed at individuals who must be changed on account of the gospel. Through the message in Romans 13:13-14, Augustine served the Church by being transformed and becoming the most distinguished theologian in the history of Christianity. Martin Luther gained inspiration for the Reformation through the message in Romans 1:17 “The just shall live by faith” (KJV). While John Wesley was attending upon the introduction to the Letter to the Romans by Luther, he experienced conversion as his heart warmed up. John Bunyan had a vision of Pilgrim’s Progress in prison as he was meditating on the Letter to the Romans. Karl Barth wrote a commentary on Romans to turn the tide of Christian liberalism of his era and became a controversial theologian of theological reform. The quote by F. F. Bruce that “Time and again in the course of Christian history, it has liberated the minds of men, brought them back to an understanding of the essential Gospel of Christ, and started spiritual revolutions," was a very fitting assessment. In light of that, the Roman people could symbolize the people coming about in any generation and the church in Rome could symbolize all of the churches existing in any locale. Even the idea that there is no certainty about who established the church in Rome testifies to its symbolic significance. Furthermore, one could say that Paul the author is the most symbolic Christian for all ages.
