As we mentioned last week, this was one of the apostle Paul’s masterpieces.  He covered many different major doctrinal topics in this letter. Being an apostle, Paul was big on laying a good foundation.  He was addressing both Jewish and non-Jewish Christians in this letter and we need to understand the difference.  Last week we left off at the good news and today we are going to look at some bad news.  At least our old nature will think it is bad news.
