Why Read and Study Romans First

Romans 1: 8-22 in the KJB is Paul speaking to the saints (believers) regarding his prayer to God that the believers would be established (to make stable/firm and stablished is to be built up) in the sound grace doctrine that is given in his epistle (Romans). The layout of Romans- Philemon is specifically designed to establish and edify the Believer in sound grace doctrine. Romans will give you the foundational teachings of the grace faith; specifically it will teach you the condition of unsaved man, the Gospel of your salvation (Christ's death, burial and resurrection as atonement for our sins), that we are saved by grace through faith alone plus nothing, who we are In Christ as believers, that the old man is now dead and we are a new creature in Christ, how to yield unto God by walking in the Spirit instead of walking after the flesh, the dispensational changes, how to be of loving service to other believers and much more. I recommend reading and re-reading this book many times and then studying it out verse by verse. 

Ro 1: 8-12 KJB "First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, 👉to the end ye may be established; 👈 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me."
