First Corinthians:

Through the missionary efforts of Paul and others, the church has been established in Corinth, but Paul finds it very difficult to keep Corinth out of the church. The pagan life-style of Corinth exerts a profound Influence upon the Christians in that corrupt city - problems of every kind plague them. In this Disciplinary letter, Paul is forced to exercise his apostolic authority as he deals firmly with problems of Divisiveness, immorality, lawsuits, selfishness,…

Romans:

The poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge regarded Romans as "the most profound book in existence,” and the commentator Godet called it "the cathedral of the Christian faith." Because of its majestic declaration of the divine plan of salvation, Martin Luther wrote: "This epistle is the chief port of the New Testament and the very purest gospel... lt can never be read or pondered too much, and the more it is dealt with the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes."

Salvation is just the start of a whole new life in Christ. The importance of growing in grace cannot be overemphasized. New Christians need to lean on mature believers and to be nurtured along in the faith with plenty of "tender loving care."

This is especially true because a babe in Christ is very vulnerable to the attacks of Satan. By both open and subtle devices, the devil seeks to disturb his newfound peace. He must be shown how to keep himself in the love of God, how to grow…
