HOW TO STUDY.....ROMANS AND EPHESIANS DOCTRINE
.
Just as the whole KJV Bible is a progressive revelation of God from Genesis through Revelation, so too is the sound doctrine that Paul delivers to us, the Church the Body of Christ, in Romans through Philemon KJV.
.
.
Apostle Paul Writes:
.
Romans 2:16 (KJV): "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."
.
1 Corinthians 3:10 (KJV): "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon."
.
2 Timothy 2:7 (KJV): "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things."
.
.
From God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, apostle Paul was sent with a new and different gospel and doctrine. This grace message which Paul was given and delivers to us is what we, who are saved, will be judged according to at the future judgment seat of Christ, according to Romans 2:16.
.
In 2 Timothy 2:7 Paul tells us that we are to consider what he says so that God can give us understanding in ALL things.
.
In 1 Corinthians 3:10 Paul informs us that he has laid the foundation, as a wise masterbuilder, upon which we are to build, according to the grace of God which is given to Paul.
.
As a believer IN Christ, as a saved person, it's important that we build into our understanding, not only the right doctrine, but also in the right order.
.
For example: Paul writes the book of Ephesians with the assumption that you already know and understand what he taught you in the book of Romans. Paul writes the books of 1 & 2 Thessalonians with the assumption that you already know and understand what he taught you in the book of Romans and Ephesians.
.
This is why it's so important to read and study the books of DOCTRINE the way Paul delivers them to us and in the order God has preserved them for us.
.
The building ORDER matters!
.
.
Paul's SOUND DOCTRINE is what God intends us to receive, believe, and obey today, and has been preserved for us by God in Romans through Philemon KJV.
.
According to the KJV Scriptures, Paul is our only God-appointed apostle for this present dispensation of grace.
.
Proof Text: Ro 16:25-26; 1Cor 3:10; 1Cor 14:37; Eph 3:1-12; Col 1:23-26; 2Tim 2:2; 2Th 3:17 KJV.
.
.
After salvation, the first step for the believer IN Christ is to read, study, learn, understand, and believe the book of Romans beginning with Romans 1:1 KJV.
.
It has been said by one of the KJV Pauline grace pastors that if you fail to understand Romans chapter 1, you'll misunderstand the rest of the book of Romans.
.
.
The Four (4) Section Of Romans:
.
1. JUSTIFICATION. In Romans chapters 1-5 Paul delivers to us Jesus Christ's teaching on our JUSTIFICATION during this present dispensation of grace:

.

.
2. IDENTIFICATION. In Romans chapters 6-8 Paul delivers to us Jesus Christ's teaching on our IDENTIFICATION once we are IN Christ during this present dispensation of grace:
.

.
.
.
Romans is our 1st book of DOCTRINE.
.
Please, take the time to learn and understand what Paul has delivered to you from Christ as it is preserved by God in the book of ROMANS from a King James Bible before trying to understand the other books of doctrine. Romans lays the foundation of knowledge and understanding of God that you need to build the other books upon
.
Ephesians is our 2nd book of DOCTRINE.
.
In Ephesians Paul assumes you know and understand what he taught you in the book of Romans. Ephesians is all about who we are IN Christ individually, and how God has equipped us to live for him on earth in this present dispensation of grace.
.
.
1 & 2 Thessalonians are our 3rd & 4th books of DOCTRINE.
.
Thessalonians doctrine teaches us individual believers IN Christ where we are headed: our future hope of the coming rapture, and our future home and career in heaven.
.
.
1 & 2 Timothy are our 5th & 6th books of DOCTRINE.
.
Timothy doctrine is God's instructions to the local church; the form, function, and purpose of the local assembly of grace believers; the how-to of grace saints coming together to do the work of the ministry.
.
.
Paul Writes:
.
Romans 16:25-26 (KJV): "Now to him that is of POWER TO STABLISH YOU according to MY GOSPEL, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of THE MYSTERY, which was kept secret since the world began,
.
26 But now is made manifest, and by the SCRIPTURES OF THE PROPHETS [ i.e. scriptures outside of Paul's epistles ], according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:"
.
1 Timothy 1:10-11 (KJV): "... SOUND DOCTRINE;
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, WHICH WAS COMMITTED TO MY TRUST."
.
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV): "STUDY to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING the word of truth."
.
2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV): "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, [ WHY? ] for instruction in righteousness:"
.
.
.
DOCTRINE is the teaching.
.
The remaining books within Romans through Philemon are the books of REPROOF and CORRECTION for those six (6) books of DOCTRINE.
.
.
Corinthians gives REPROOF on Romans doctrine.
.
Philippians gives REPROOF on Ephesians doctrine.
.
Titus gives REPROOF on Timothy doctrine.
.
Galatians gives CORRECTION on Romans doctrine.
.
Colossians gives CORRECTION on Ephesians doctrine.
.
Philemon gives CORRECTION on Timothy doctrine.
.
.
REPROOF books correct the bad behaviour.
.
CORRECTION books correct wrong thinking/believing.
.
.
.
NOTE: There are no books of reproof or correction for Thessalonians doctrine, because Thessalonians is all about the rapture and our future in heaven, and there we won't need reproof or correction because we will be in our new sinless glorified body then.
.
.
.
I pray this study has been helpful to those who are ready to receive it.
.
.
2 Corinthians 1:24 (KJV): "Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand."
.
Romans 10:17 (KJV): "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
