1-7節--由偉大使徒所寫的偉大書信

羅馬書 第1章

昔日，有一位名叫非比的女仕，來到哥林多城探訪使徒保羅。她將要前往羅馬，因此，她可能要求保羅為她寫一封舉薦信，讓她帶給羅馬教會(參羅十六1)。

於是，保羅便寫了一封信給羅馬教會。保羅最初可能沒有想過要寫一封這樣長的信，但它最終卻成了歷史中最偉大的基督教信仰宣言。

羅馬教會是由哪位使徒建立的？肯定不是保羅。他寫此信之前，從未到過羅馬(13節)。也肯定不是彼得，他在那個時候也未曾到過羅馬。那麼是誰人建立此教會呢？

可能是在五旬節信主，或是保羅帶領信主的一些信徒。在本書的最後一章，保羅提及他認識該教會的27位信徒的姓名。

保羅在書信的一開始，自稱是「僕人」(或奴僕)。當我們知道，當時的羅馬有成千上萬的奴僕，而這些奴僕都是過著受人鄙視的生活，我們就會發現保羅這個自稱是很奇怪的。

然而，羅馬的基督徒卻會明白保羅的意思。保羅這個自稱，乃是反映他完全把自己視為基督的僕人，不論基督吩咐他做甚麼，他都願意去做，即使他要為此而付上沉重的代價。

保羅極愛基督，我們可以從這幾節經文體會到這種感情嗎？保羅首先指出他與基督的關係，然後便向我們講述基督──他重申基督的身分、祂的死和復活，以及服事基督所享有的各種特權。他把羅馬教會的所有信徒都稱為「聖徒」，並祝願眾人同得基督所賜的恩惠與平安。

反思：

保羅曾經見證說：「我活著是為了基督。」

A GREAT LETTER BY A GREAT APOSTLE


A lady visitor had come to see the apostle Paul in the home where he was staying in the city of Corinth. Her name was Phoebe. She was leaving soon to go to Rome and apparently asked Paul to commend her to the church there. (See Romans 16:1.)

So Paul wrote a letter to the church at Rome. It was possibly much longer than he first intended but it has become one of the greatest statements of the Christian faith that has ever been written.

Who started the church at Rome? Certainly not Paul. He had never been there when he wrote this letter (v. 13). And certainly not Peter. He had not been there up to this time either. Then who did start it?

Perhaps converts from the Day of Pentecost or some of Pauls converts began this church. In the last chapter Paul mentions 27 people he knew in the church at Rome.

How does Paul start his letter? He begins with his own name followed by the word slave. It is remarkable that in writing to the church in a city where there were thousands of slaves and where the life of a slave meant nothing, that he should call himself a slave.

Yet the Christians would understand what he was trying to say to them. Paul considered himself the complete servant of Christ, always available to carry out his will no matter the cost.

Paul loved Christ very, very much. Cant you feel this coming through as you read these verses? Firstly there is Pauls relationship to Christ, then he tells us about Christ himself. He reminds us of Christs position, of his death and resurrection and of the privilege of serving Christ. He includes all the church in Rome as members of Christ (v. 7) and sends his greetings to them. Even those greetings are only possible because of Christ.

Remember Pauls testimony: TO ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST.
