Antes de estudiar Romanos, recuerda estas verdades

3 verdades alentadoras para guiarte en Romanos

Última actualización : junio 02, 2026

Antes de estudiar Romanos, recuerda estas verdades

Cuando escuchaste que BSF estudiaría Romanos, ¿cómo reaccionaste?

¿Con un "¡Romanos!", lleno de expectativa y asombro?

¿O con un "¿Romanos?", con preocupación, incertidumbre o incluso temor?

Al conversar con amigos sobre el estudio y considerar mis propias ideas equivocadas, noté un entusiasmo mezclado con tres preocupaciones: Romanos puede parecer difícil de entender. Puede resultar difícil identificarse con Pablo. Las aplicaciones de Pablo nos desafían a cambiar.

Si te identificas con esto, sigue leyendo. Desempacaré algunas cargas que solemos llevar y compartiré perspectivas que pueden aligerarlas.

Romanos está escrito en distintas capas: no necesitamos entenderlo todo de una vez

La teología de Pablo, con sus distintas capas, puede hacer que Romanos parezca denso y difícil para los lectores de hoy. Con frecuencia cita y hace referencia a pasajes del Antiguo Testamento que muchos de nosotros no conocemos bien, y aborda audazmente temas controvertidos tanto en su época como en la nuestra. Sin embargo, Pablo escribía a creyentes en Roma, no a teólogos profesionales, y eso nos llena de esperanza.

Como guía, Pablo lleva a sus lectores —a ti y a mí— a contemplar el evangelio que transforma vidas.

Toda una vida de aprendizaje preparó a Pablo para mostrar cómo Jesús cumple las promesas, las prefiguraciones y las profecías del Antiguo Testamento. Pablo se formó como fariseo—un experto en la Ley y los Profetas. Entendía las raíces del evangelio en el Antiguo Testamento. Nos muestra cómo Jesús llevó a cumplimiento la obra que Dios había planeado desde mucho tiempo atrás para redimir y restaurar Su creación. Dios siempre tuvo la intención de bendecir y adoptar a personas de cada nación por medio del descendiente de Abraham—Jesús.

Cuando ves que Pablo normalmente presenta una verdad y luego la demuestra e ilustra a lo largo de capítulos en vez de párrafos, su argumento se vuelve más fácil de seguir. Observa cómo declara una verdad, la respalda con otras Escrituras, añade ilustraciones e incluso responde a objeciones en el camino. Como guía, Pablo lleva a sus lectores—a ti y a mí—a contemplar el evangelio que transforma vidas.

Romanos es profundamente personal: recuerda la razón por la que Pablo escribió

Desde nuestra perspectiva del siglo XXI, Pablo puede parecer una figura legendaria e imponente más que un pastor compasivo, un hermano en Cristo y un discípulo como nosotros. Sin embargo, la pasión de Pablo es clara: anhelaba ofrecer ayuda práctica y decir algo que animara y fortaleciera la fe de los creyentes en Roma.

Si te adelantas y lees primero Romanos 16, verás el corazón de Pablo al descubierto. Sin reservas ni formalidades, Pablo se desborda en amor, honor, respeto, preocupación y aprecio por sus amigos y colaboradores en Roma. Romanos contiene su lista más extensa de saludos, que incluye a aristócratas y esclavos, hombres y mujeres, judíos y gentiles. Incluso honra a la madre de Rufo, quien había sido como una madre para él (Romanos 16:13).

Mientras Pablo escribía a los amados creyentes en Roma, imaginaba sus rostros y luchas específicas. ¿Te identificas con eso? Cuando haces tu estudio bíblico, ¿vienen a tu mente seres queridos o amigos? A menudo pienso en cómo la verdad que estoy aprendiendo podría ayudar a un amigo, animar a mi esposo o ayudar a mi hijo a madurar. Mientras estudias, recuerda cómo la pasión de Pablo por Cristo y su compasión por las personas fueron las que lo impulsaron a compartir el evangelio, servir al Señor y escribir esta carta.

Romanos amplía nuestra visión del evangelio: prepárate para ser desafiado y transformado

La enseñanza de Pablo puede parecer intrusiva cuando deseamos gobernar nuestra propia vida. Pablo comienza su carta exponiendo el impacto total del pecado en nuestra mente, nuestro corazón y nuestra vida (Romanos 1:21), y luego presenta la solución igualmente completa del evangelio—mentes renovadas que influyen en cada aspecto de la vida (Romanos 12:2).

Pablo comienza Romanos 12 con un llamado a rendir toda nuestra vida a Dios sin reservas (Romanos 12:1). Luego, Romanos 12–15 muestra cómo la fe en Jesús lo transforma todo—la familia, la iglesia, el trabajo, las amistades, los enemigos e incluso la sociedad. Esto lo vemos en la transformación del propio Pablo: antes de su encuentro con Jesús, perseguía violentamente a la iglesia de Cristo. Después de su conversión, trabajó incansablemente para edificarla. La fe en Jesús cambió las pasiones, el propósito y la perspectiva de Pablo.

La pasión de Pablo por Cristo y su compasión por las personas lo impulsaron a compartir el evangelio, servir al Señor y escribir esta carta.

¿Por qué Pablo compartió el evangelio en once capítulos detallados con personas que ya eran salvas? Porque aún tenían mucho que aprender sobre cómo aplicarlo, ¡y nosotros también! ¿Tienes resuelto cómo vivir para Jesús? Yo no, y cualquiera que me conozca bien puede confirmarlo. La mayoría de nuestras relaciones revelan dónde aún necesitamos crecer, especialmente con aquellas personas que no piensan ni viven exactamente como nosotros. Las verdades perdurables del evangelio ofrecen ayuda y la única esperanza para que las personas experimenten restauración con Dios y unidad con los creyentes hoy y siempre.

Pablo escribió Romanos para fortalecer a creyentes comunes, como nosotros. Lo escribió con un corazón lleno de amor. Señaló el poder del evangelio para llevar a personas como tú y como yo de la culpa a la gracia. Pídele a Dios que profundice tu comprensión del evangelio y de su poder para cambiar tu vida.

    I am excited to study Romans and very grateful to have joined at this time.

    Bill on septiembre 15, 2026 02:35 a. m.

    A weighty question: What is the will of my Father which is in heaven? Before answering, read these precept lines: Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

    Romans is going to be my first BSF Bible study. I’m looking forward to learning more about God and how His gospel challenges and changes lives, starting with mine!

    Jane on agosto 29, 2026 02:34 a. m.

    Gail on agosto 22, 2026 05:32 p. m.

    Thank you.

    Marsha on agosto 19, 2026 03:37 a. m.

    Wondering if I can do the study on my own. Are the BSF materials available? Thanks

    BSF Staff on agosto 20, 2026 02:25 p. m.

    Hi Marsha, thank you for asking! We believe the Bible is best studied in community, so to access the BSF study you would need to join a group. We do have in person and online options! We would love to help you find a group that works best for you! You could also try the WordGo App which includes shorter studies that can be completed on your own or with a group.

    Donna on agosto 18, 2026 05:09 p. m.

    I love being in BSF. I sometimes have a hard time with answering the questions. I come anyway and apprecitar others answers. . I am almost 88 years young.

    Crystal on agosto 18, 2026 01:41 a. m.

    I am revisiting BSF. Excited to again dig deeper into Paul's teachings. I wrote in my bible the years and the studies. And found that I did Roman's in 1999.... looking forward the year ahead and what will be revealed to me.....at the time there were 3 of us who worked together and did BSF together..it was a special time..as I know this will also be special

    Dorcus on agosto 14, 2026 09:10 a. m.

    I can't wait for Romans. I'm so expectant.

    Sandy on agosto 12, 2026 04:22 p. m.

    Thank You for this opening information into Romans. I have heard that it is a very good book of the Bible to read, so I am excited to start reading it and getting familiar before BSF starts.

    Ginny on agosto 10, 2026 09:40 a. m.

    I haven't been to BSF FOR several years but I am going to be there this year I Hope.! I NEED TO BE WITH YOU AND STUDY PAUL'S LESSONS.

    Cheryl on agosto 08, 2026 04:50 a. m.

    I would like to see the romans study.

    Carol on agosto 06, 2026 08:42 p. m.

    When does BFS begin the Romans study. I have not seen anything posted.

    Judy on agosto 05, 2026 01:42 p. m.

    Looking forward to this study!!!

    Celeste on agosto 05, 2026 12:31 p. m.

    I’m looking forward to this study on Romans. I pray that God will give me understanding of what I read. I seem to have a difficult time in the beginning because they teach the background first. I’m not saying it’s not good but I have a hard time understanding these days. Age is making it harder to understand. But I’m praying God will lead and guide me through this study.

    Linda on agosto 05, 2026 11:27 a. m.

    Looking forward to studying Romans

    Donna on agosto 05, 2026 11:17 a. m.

    I am so grateful for BSF and looking forward to this study of Romans!! Thank You to everyone that makes this possible. It has truly changed my life.

    Darla on agosto 05, 2026 06:48 a. m.

    Please repeat the year long study on Isaiah .I joined in 2010 and I heard so many wonderful things about this study .I love all your studies .

    Frank on agosto 05, 2026 06:34 a. m.

    I have attended BSF for couple years a few years ago. I really enjoyed the fellowship and thought the lessons were outstanding. Isaiah, Hebrews extremely deep and stirring. Have not had time to attend in person lately but would like to receive very very excellent lesson plans and participate in online classes.

    Thomas on agosto 05, 2026 03:42 a. m.

    I studied Romans in 1990’s and early 2000’s.

    Jeff on agosto 05, 2026 12:37 a. m.

    I love the book of Romans , when I was born again I was told “Romans 8 is the treasure of the book” but l have found many chapters with profound teachings for the faithful with love for our Savior and courage to live it. God’s Word is truth in a world of deception.

    Vince on agosto 04, 2026 10:04 p. m.

    Okay- I attended BSF for 8-9 years. I took a break 2 years ago due a feeling of being over extended. Church/serving Sunday mornings, Small Group Sunday nights, BSF Monday night, Tuesday mornings men’s group, Facilitating a Parent’s of Addicted Loved One meeting Tuesday nights - It was too much and I had to take something out. That was then! — Now, When I received an email that BSF was doing Romans- I felt a nudge that God had something for me to attend again. I don’t know what God has for me but I know that I am to be obedient to that nudge!! Thank you God for speaking to me and Thank you BSF.

    Marsha on agosto 04, 2026 08:07 p. m.

    Would like to order a copy of the book.

    Meggie @ HQ on agosto 04, 2026 09:47 p. m.

    Hi, Marsha! BSF members can log into their accounts to access free study materials or to purchase a book from the BSF Store!

    Dinah on julio 26, 2026 06:35 a. m.

    Yes

    Dinah on julio 25, 2026 11:59 a. m.

    Life changing gospel

    Jackie on julio 24, 2026 10:44 a. m.

    I can't wait to start this study on Romans. BSF does such a great job at accurately revealing the truths in scripture which is so incredibly important to me.

    winnie on julio 22, 2026 11:54 p. m.

    I've studied Romans before and I long to study it again more indepth.

    Phebe on julio 22, 2026 08:28 a. m.

    I studied Romans in late 1990s with BSF in SuttonColdField. It was a great blessing to me. I'm sure I'd learn something new again this time too. I eagerly look forward to this session once again in a different setting and country.

    Marilyn on julio 15, 2026 04:05 p. m.

    I enjoyed reading this overview of Romans and Paul. I am looking forward to studying the book of Romans.

    Jody on julio 12, 2026 04:54 p. m.

    BSF! My go to source for accurate, applicable scripture study material.

    Claudette on julio 07, 2026 01:12 p. m.

    I have been saved since 1975 and I am still learning. Bible Study Fellowship always brings out truth that I had not seen before. I had a hunger for His word and that hunger has not diminished.

    Sandra on julio 06, 2026 12:29 p. m.

    When I first joined BSF, the Book of Romans was scheduled to be studied. I didn't know what to expect, except that I was seeking an unknown for my Life and I was directed to the Bible for my answer and was invited to BSF through a co-worker. Upon making the commitment to join , I asked myself how I was going to do this. Through the Holy Spirit's guidance, I joined and never looked back. I cannot wait to see what God will reveal to me this year. This Book is truly a personal evaluation for everyone. Can't wait.

    Kathleen on junio 27, 2026 01:42 p. m.

    Would like to know where & when there is a class in South Haven, Mich. SOUTH haven is closer to me compared to Kalamzoo.

    Colette on julio 11, 2026 05:30 p. m.

    Hi Kathleen - To locate an In Person group, I clicked on Find a BSF Group in the goldish button, top right of my screen. I typed in South Haven and found one result of Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm at 1365 Monroe Blvd. Try it and see what options you have for In Person or Online.

    Donna on junio 26, 2026 08:11 p. m.

    Yes to Paul’s passion for Christ and for us to know HIM more deeply, surrender the whole of life to Him and be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Thanks, Lea, for this spurring us on with excitement about the coming Romans study. I’m praying our world is affected through our lives immersed in the Word!

    Ashley on junio 19, 2026 09:33 p. m.

    Great way to give an overview of Romans AND Paul, seeing him as has been described here will definitely help me to hear what he has written in a whole new way. Thank you

    Kenisha on junio 18, 2026 07:34 p. m.

    So looking forward to this study! Thank you for sharing, Lea. I'm grateful the Lord led Paul to write this letter so we could continue to learn and grow and be strengthened in Christ.

    Bea on junio 16, 2026 01:32 p. m.

    This was helpful. I was one who thought"ROMANS! Oh, that's gonna be hard!" I look forward to the challenge and the time I will spend with my sisters in Christ unfolding what Paul has for us.

    Karen on junio 14, 2026 02:38 a. m.

    Thanks for the explanation of Romans. I will be in our BSF class in the fall. Blessings.

    Janis on junio 13, 2026 06:50 p. m.

    What a wonderful introduction to what we will learn and the methods Paul used in his writing. The perspectives outlined provide foundations for the study. Thank you!

    Gayle on junio 13, 2026 03:44 p. m.

    So looking forward to our study in Romans through BSF… my granddaughter enrolled me last study & this yr her mom will join us also 🙏

    Shirley on junio 12, 2026 06:09 p. m.

    I’m excited to study Roman’s This will be my first time studying with the group

    Bo on junio 10, 2026 07:58 p. m.

    Good read. Thank you.

    Linda on junio 10, 2026 07:17 p. m.

    BSF is my lifeline.. love the lessons and my group.

    Margie on junio 10, 2026 05:11 p. m.

    I pray for the Lord to deepen my understanding of His Gospel and it’s power to change my life.

    Kim on junio 10, 2026 01:34 a. m.

    Factors of Covid leftover, my own age of 62, and retirement has revealed how isolated and lacking Christian’s are of personal interaction. I’m feeling passionate and excited to relearn from Paul how to rightly interact again in the study of Romans!!

    Bettye on junio 09, 2026 12:49 p. m.

    Thank you for this blog it helps me to understand the purposes behind Paul’s ✍🏿.

    Beth on junio 09, 2026 10:56 a. m.

    Thank you, Lea! I’m excited to dive into this study of Romans, since Romans is where I began my spiritual journey in BSF over 27 years ago. It was the truth found in Romans that God used to transform my life! It is powerful, and life-changing!

    MARTINE on junio 08, 2026 03:41 p. m.

    Personnellement je trouve extraordinaire la façon dont Paul appelle de façon précise le lecteur (dont moi-même) à accepter Jésus comme Seigneur et Maitre! Grace à Dieu qui m'avait transformé (1986) depuis ce jour à aller toujours de l'avant et plus encore depuis que je suis membre de BSF depuis les années 1994! Cette année sera encore formidable! Merci Jésus, merci à tous, Dieu vous bénisse! Translation: Personally, I find it extraordinary how Paul specifically calls upon the reader (myself included) to accept Jesus as Lord and Master! I thank God for transforming me in 1986 and enabling me to keep moving forward ever since—especially since becoming a member of BSF in 1994! This year is going to be wonderful, too! Thank you, Jesus; thank you, everyone; God bless you!

    Jean on junio 07, 2026 11:55 p. m.

    Thank you Lea giving us such clear encouragement to do the Romans study … the gospel , the power of God unto salvation .. we need to go deeper in our understanding and commitment . .. so easy to be distracted !!

    Carolyne on junio 07, 2026 09:16 p. m.

    Looking forward to a deeper understanding of Romans.

    Selene on junio 07, 2026 12:25 p. m.

    I am sure the study of Romans will surely help me to grow especially when I expect to think and live exactly as I do.IThe gospel's enduring truth to help people to experience restoration with God and believers to live in unity today and forever is what I have also been yearning for.Looking forward for a deeper study of the Book of Romans and to be strengthened by the fellowship of believers as we go through year's study as a Community

    Grace on junio 07, 2026 05:25 a. m.

    I have been a Christian for long, in BSF for over 25 years. But honestly, studying Romans has never been my favorite. But after reading Lea's write up, I am looking forward!!!!!

    Anne on junio 07, 2026 03:50 a. m.

    I appreciate this perspective and find it very encouraging.

    Linda on junio 06, 2026 10:56 p. m.

    Thank you for breakdown on Paul’s thinking and teaching. I have studied Romans before and enjoyed. Ready to dig deeper and learn more about Romans and how God used Paul to spread His gospel.

    Aileen Ruland on junio 06, 2026 08:23 p. m.

    Wow….From Guilt to Grace was a beautiful phrase

    SAMUEL on junio 06, 2026 06:20 p. m.

    The steady walk of bsf is for life

    Joanna Marquez on junio 06, 2026 02:14 p. m.

    Can’t wait to study Roman’s , from Church of Iglesia Cristiana de Adoracion, Chickasaw in Orlando Fl Thanks for the information and the blog….

    Jesse on junio 06, 2026 02:06 p. m.

    A great place to start is read Acts up to the point where Romans was written. However, also read the letters he wrote before Romans interspersed with your readings of Acts. It shows the Paul before he wrote Romans and his desire to help Christians walk the walk.

    Kim on junio 06, 2026 01:49 p. m.

    Hello I will be moving to Lake Geneva Wi soon In the fall I would like be in A BSF group in that area vs Barrington Il where I have been for several years Can you provide location options for me ideally mornings weekday Couples or women’s Thank you

    BSF Staff on agosto 20, 2026 02:33 p. m.

    Hi Kim, you can search all of our groups here:https://join.bsfinternational.org If there isn't a group meeting in Lake Geneva, we hope you will join us online!

    Carol on junio 06, 2026 01:13 p. m.

    I enjoyed reading through this blog. My suggestion is to also read (which I am doing) the book of Acts carefully and prayerfully this summer. I believe this to be a great way to understand the background of not only Paul, but also other disciples and part of Paul.

    Joyce on junio 06, 2026 09:17 a. m.

    Thank you for this blog I am going to get started rereading Romans with these ideas in mind that you shared. This will be my 1st yr as a GL and I want to be ready when fall comes so I am starting now

    Carol on junio 06, 2026 05:56 a. m.

    BSF around the world!!

    Lisa on junio 06, 2026 03:01 a. m.

    My fourth time to study Romans! It never gets old, as the Holy Spirit breathes fresh life through it each time. The Word of God is living and active!

    Nancy Yao on junio 06, 2026 02:19 a. m.

    I joined BSF for over 10 years now. Thank you very much

    Doug on junio 05, 2026 10:07 p. m.

    I appreciate the blog written about Romans. It helps me get ready for the study and I feel I’m a bit more informed. Thank you.

    Molly on junio 05, 2026 09:24 p. m.

    The book of Romans comprehensively deals with the great theological issues and doctrines a Christian should know and live accordingly to glorify God.

    Joanne on junio 05, 2026 09:10 p. m.

    Alleluia! Roman's is one of my favorite books! I am very excited to read it again ,with BSF !!! So grateful and thankful for this opportunity. Increase our faith Lord!

    Linda on junio 05, 2026 03:59 p. m.

    Thanks for your blog. I'm one who finds Paul. Very confusing thanks for giving hints on how to understand. Romans.

    Cynthia on junio 05, 2026 02:26 p. m.

    This will be my first time studying Romans and I am looking forward to learning more.

    ana on junio 05, 2026 02:06 p. m.

    I'm looking forward to studying Roman's, I need more encouragement every day and bsf has really helped me

    Carla on junio 05, 2026 01:51 p. m.

    I found this very helpful in helping apply to us today because it can be impersonal in some ways

    Norma on junio 05, 2026 01:50 p. m.

    I am looking forward to studying Romans. When and where do we obtain our books for this session?

    Debbie on junio 05, 2026 01:05 p. m.

    Thank you for insight of Romans. It was very helpful. This will be my first time studying Romans. God bless you

    Winrose on junio 05, 2026 12:20 p. m.

    I thank the Almighty God for giving me an opportunity to study again the book of Romans. I just love how the spirit of God leads when His word is being preached. The exposition very different from all the times the book are repeated. Am very ready to learn and help other come and we study together. Roman 12 : 1-5 not to be conformed by the patterns of this world BUT be transformed. May God help us we prepare to encounter God in the mighty way through this book. Winrose from Kenya Nairobi Ruai Class CA. Blessings

    Sue on junio 05, 2026 11:54 a. m.

    I am really excited to study Romans, this will be my second time with BSF. Romans 12:12 I cling to. A great life verse for me and easy to memorize. Thank you for the overview and “picture” of Paul. Just think we all get to meet him!

    Deborah on junio 05, 2026 11:38 a. m.

    Looking forward to this study and fellowship

    Betty on junio 05, 2026 11:34 a. m.

    Enjoyed the Blog , so excited about the study of Roman's. Can hardly wait for classes to begin.

    Nirmala on junio 05, 2026 08:11 a. m.

    More you study Roman’s deeper truths are revealed to bring us closer to Jesus

    Albine on junio 05, 2026 04:34 a. m.

    Looking forward to study Romans again ! BSF is one place for me to grow in my faith and my hope , to make me more mature as a believer . Studying God’s word at BSF was very helpful to teach me how to practice it in my daily life, and how to share the Gospel around me . Romans 8 is one chapter that is really encouragent for me .Glory to God alone,

    Joshua on junio 05, 2026 04:26 a. m.

    The study of Romans comes after studying the The Exile and Return study which gave us a great glimpse of my life of disobedience and how God turned my life around to what He desires of me. Romans will help me to have the right heart posture: one of acknowledging my sins and how I have been saved by the blood of Jesus. Now I have to share these truths with others around me.

    Rose on junio 05, 2026 04:01 a. m.

    Romans!!! Can't wait to study and meditate upon it

    Debra on junio 05, 2026 02:50 a. m.

    I am very excited to start the study!

    Sam on junio 07, 2026 03:58 p. m.

    I’ve been waiting for Romans to come around again. I joined BSF men’s group in 2017 while Romans was being studied. It was quite an experience in plunging its depths, grasping the theological truths, and seeing the commitment each person brought to the study. As a children’s leader now, I can say good things come to those who wait. I can hardly wait. May God change your life and mine as we go through this study together.

    I’m excited to study Romans in September. I always say if I was allowed to only have one book of the Bible it would be Romans. So much to discover in this wonderful Word.

    Just Paul himself bring excitement because of how understandable he relates scriptures to realities and spiritual truths. He never gives false doctrine because truths for facts is the only thing that will count. Pual is making sure the gospel is talk the way the Holy Spirit guides him. A true apostle and a believer, and a teacher of God's word. True follower of Jesus christ causing many to convert to Christianity even while he was in prison. Here Onesimus became a follower of Paul and Onesimus himself became a Christian. Onesimus an enslaved was very valuable to Paul and Philemon. Read to find out how Onesimus became valuable to PAUL and PHILEMON? How did this change remind you of God's in the book of GALATIANS chapter 5:22-25 (the Fruit of the Spirit). Just words of Paul caused behaviors to change like GOD characters. How/What did Paul say to PHILEMON with a really threat. Enjoy Roman chapter 1:16-17. I'm excited!!!

    I look forward to studying Romans again. I have studied it once before, but it has been several years ago. I enjoyed what Lea had to say about Romans.

    Suzanne on junio 05, 2026 01:02 a. m.

    When will new Romans’ lessons be available on line?

    Thank you for the insightful introduction of the Romans Study. Gives me confidence and courage to join the study group

    Belinda on junio 05, 2026 12:43 a. m.

    I'm excited to study Romans ..the blog was appreciated Thank you

    Donna on junio 04, 2026 11:44 p. m.

    Thank you Lea. Romans 10:15 “beautiful feet share the love of Jesus” is a favorite verse of mine. I’m currently in a BSF group and truly look forward to studying Romans again.

    Nualsri on junio 04, 2026 11:41 p. m.

    I am fully ready to study Romans again. This time I pray that I will understand more some of the difficult passages in there. Pray God open my mind, eyes and ears and leads me. Again, I am ready and can’t wait. Last week I had started to read and noted the whole Romans esp. Chapter 8 (again and again even with Gemini). I feel happy and content. Thank you BSF because of BSF, I have fixed my daily personal devotion time with God greatly settled with regularity, passion, pursuing and wanting. Also pray for BSF new headquarter’s construction processs. God blesses.

    I am so looking g forward to this study! Have sent info to a friend who is searching…

    Wanda on junio 04, 2026 10:00 p. m.

    Romans was THE study when I first joined BSF many years ago. It began a wonderfully unique time of fellowship and deeper understanding of God's Word that I had never experienced before despite having "been in church" since I was four years old. I really appreciate Lea's blog as I felt it prepares all participates to be "on the lookout" for the specials truths Paul seeks to emphasize, as well as the process/style he uses in his writings to richly share with all God's children. Thank you for this preview of our next study. Though I've studied this book before, I KNOW I will discover and be blessed by more gems of GOD'S LOVE, GRACE, & WISDOM to mature my faith in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit all for the glorify of God.

    Rosa on junio 04, 2026 09:56 p. m.

    I am looking forward to study Romans again because I know God’s Word will reveal more insight this second time than the first time. I can’t wait!! To God be the Glory!

    Glenda on junio 04, 2026 09:48 p. m.

    When I heard Romans was to be studied next I said "Oh no, not Romans" with all its circumsision passages! I cant get my head around it the way he very skillfully uses his law background and knowledge of history.

    BSF Staff on agosto 20, 2026 02:29 p. m.

    Dear Glenda, we're excited to ask these questions alongside you as we study together this year! Romans has amazing truth to impart, and we will study chapter by chapter, verse by verse to explore those questions.

    Bell on junio 04, 2026 09:44 p. m.

    Looking forward to a great study again with BSF

    Teresa on junio 04, 2026 09:36 p. m.

    I’m excited to grow in my faith through the gospel of Paul in Roman’s!

    LindaJo on junio 04, 2026 09:27 p. m.

    Many of my friends went to BSF before I began. My job was to big and stressful to go to BSF before I retired. My friends raved about the Roman’s study. When I retired the first thing I did was sign up for BSF! I have been eagerly waiting to take this course! I feel so blessed to finally have the opportunity to learn from the book of Romans. I am certain it will make me a better witness for my Lord!

    Rita on junio 04, 2026 09:10 p. m.

    Thank you for your blog on Romans. Romans is beautiful but challenging and sometimes difficult to understand. It reveals & convicts. I’ve been in BSF for 17 years. Studying God’s word has dramatically changed my life! I had always gone to church and loved Jesus but wasn’t particularly obedient as there was rampant sin in my life! Fortunately I was lead to repent & the Lord removed people & situations from my life that were ungodly. The Holy Spirit changed my friends, family composition, & business clients gradually and made them all much better. Love the fellowship and the Word of God and to see how it changes lives!

    Pam on junio 04, 2026 09:03 p. m.

    I am looking forward to Paul’s study of Romans! Thank you!

    Mary on junio 04, 2026 08:44 p. m.

    I can’t wait to start! Romans 5:3-4 have been my life verses for MANY years. I want to dig deeper.

    Jim on junio 04, 2026 08:39 p. m.

    Thank you for framing Romans for us, Lea. Second year discussion GL here, and this is my first time to tackle Romans with BSF. I had done a couple Bible in a Year studies, before BSF, and I completely misunderstood Paul on my own.

    Bridget on junio 04, 2026 08:35 p. m.

    When will lesson books be available?

    BSF Staff on agosto 20, 2026 02:28 p. m.

    Thank you. Very good!

    Sally on junio 04, 2026 07:57 p. m.

    I wasn't getting much from the beginning of Roman's until I was asked what the first few verses said about the gospel. I read more slowly & realized Paul had presented the entire gospel. promised long ago through prophets, descendent of Jacob (he us Messiah!). Vs 4 resurrection from the dead, vs 5 obedience of FAITH, vs 6 belonging to Jesus by calling. There is so much in just 6 verses! Appreciate your teaching about who Paul was talking to & reminding me he knew old testament.

    Everett on junio 04, 2026 07:50 p. m.

    The 'ROMANS' experience has been as you say, challenging. Many times and each time a 'little' bit closer to getting the writer's thinking. I tell myself, maybe this time I'll get it.

    Jeannie on junio 04, 2026 07:42 p. m.

    Thank you and please let me know how I may acquire the Fall Spiral Bound BSF Book for the upcoming 2026-2027 Study

    Paula on junio 04, 2026 07:33 p. m.

    How uplifting and encouraging. I want to start the study today!!!!!

    Lisa on junio 04, 2026 07:33 p. m.

    Every time I study The Word, I learn something new! The Lord speaks to me through His word. Indeed it is the living word.

    This article clarified Romans direction Before I read this I thought it was too much, & it overwhelmed me. However, I have heard & I believe that it is the most important book in aiding believers in becoming more like Our Savior LORD JESUS! Thank you 😊!!!

    Marianne on junio 04, 2026 06:30 p. m.

    Excellent writing Leà I'm really excited dive into Roman's with my group in the fall. I'm praying my two sons and husband will join me... there's so much to learn about God and His ways. Thank you for the study prep blog!
