    About taking off work to observe the Sabbaths and other holy days

    Romans 1-4 and is what I use to present the gospel right?

    In Romans 1:15 Paul says he's "ready to preach the gospel to you" so I figure it's the guide on how to do it. Romans 1:18 - Romans 3:20 sets up just how everyone is a sinner, guilty before God and deserving of Hell. It shows people they have no excuse for not acknowledging God's existence in...
