Walking in Love

Lesson Title: God's Amazing Love - Paul and John remind the early Christians that no matter what hardships they face, God loves them. As Jesus followers, we can know that nothing can separate us from God’s love.

Scripture: Romans 8; 1 John 3

Wonder Truth: Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love

Foundation Building Blocks

Who: Under the Roman Empire, many people joined clubs and voluntary associations devoted to common religious, economic, or social causes. Early Christians followed some of this pattern when they formed “assemblies” in homes. The same Greek word is often translated as churches.

What: Paul mentions the threat of natural disasters. Ancient Rome had a housing density beyond even the densest modern cities. Cities were plagued by food shortages, infectious diseases, fires, and building collapses. Average life expectancy after birth was under thirty.

Where: Christians in the capital of Rome faced many difficulties. The emperor Claudius expelled Jews from Rome around 50 AD (see Acts 18:2), and this would have included Jewish Christians such as Priscilla and Aquila, close friends of Paul.

When: Paul wrote his letter to Rome before being brought there as a prisoner in the early 50s AD. There are a wide range of dates proposed for 1 John. Both Romans and 1 John reflect a concern for the first generation of churches.

Connecting to God’s Big Story: Jesus told His followers to place a radical trust in the heavenly Father’s daily provision (Matthew 6:25–34). The church community endures trials together. Come what may, God sustains the church, and He will not allow it to fall to the powers of darkness (Matthew 16:18).
