In this Sunday School lecture, we review the entire structure of Paul’s epistle to the Romans — from total depravity in Romans 1–3 to predestination in Romans 8–9 and the perseverance of the saints. We explore: • Why exegesis must precede systematics • Whether Calvin imposed theology onto Paul • The five points of Calvinism (TULIP) • Total depravity in Romans 1–3 • Justification by faith in Romans 3–5 • Predestination in Romans 8 • Divine sovereignty in Romans 9 • Evangelism and election in Romans 10 • The glory of God in Romans 11 We also discuss the theology of John Calvin, the importance of the Reformation, and how Paul’s letter to the Epistle to the Romans provides the doctrinal foundation for what later became known as Calvinism. If you've ever wondered: Does Romans teach predestination? Is Paul compatible with Calvinism? What about human responsibility? Is God unjust in Romans 9? Can you lose your salvation according to Romans 8? This lecture walks carefully through the text itself. Calvin may not have been Pauline chronologically — but he was deeply Pauline theologically.
