Part 2 - God's Puzzle Solved

Chapter 8The Wise And UnwisePaul, The Apostle wrote, “I am debtor bothto the Greeks and to the Barbarians: both tothe wise and to the unwise” (Romans 1:14).The Greeks of that day were educated andknew philosophy. “Philosophy” is “thestudy of life.” Barbarians, being countrypeople, were pagans and uneducated. Paulfelt obligated to them both. He had theneed to teach them The Gospel of Christ.The World And The TruthThe previous chapter disclosed that the whole worldunderstood The Truth of The Gospel. They knewabout The Tower of Babel and the dividing of the nations.Mankind, also, knew the reason for human existence.In many ways, they were more educated thanthose who profess Christianity today. Even The Pagansworshipped their gods based upon the same truthwithout understanding its mystery. Of course, they followedtheir man-made pagan rituals. Paul made an astoundingstatement regarding how both the wise andunwise can grow in truth. It was all about philosophy,which is the knowledge of life. “For therein is therighteousness of God revealed from faith to faith [beliefto belief]: as it is written. The just shall live by faith”(Romans 1:17).
