Paul for Everyone: Romans Part 2: Chapters 9-16

What is Christianity? A philosophy? A set of ideas? A path to spirituality? A rule of life? Is it even a political agenda?

Christianity is none of these things, yet it includes and, indeed, gives energy to them all. Christianity is a way of life. It is rooted in the good news revealed by an event that rocked the world. And those who believe this good news and live by it experience deep and lasting change.

Paul for Everyone: The Pastoral Letters: 1 And 2 Timothy And Titus

For many Jewish Christians of the first century, living in the light of the gospel was challenging. On accepting Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah, they were regarded by still-sceptical family, friends and neighbours as dangerous, misguided and even disloyal to Jewish culture and all that God had said before.

The letter to the Hebrews was written to show that believers shouldn't look back when God is pointing them forwards. The early Church was encouraged to press on eagerly in faith, trusting and hoping unflaggingly for the fulfilment of God's promises.
