Doable Discipleship

“What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?  Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?  Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself.  Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.” Romans 8:31-34

N.T. Wright has called Romans “arguably one of the most extraordinary letters ever written by anyone” and I imagine most people would agree. Romans is the heavyweight of the New Testament - a beautiful and profound look at the gospel message of Christ wrapped up in one letter. From explaining the good news and teaching about God’s anger at sin, to highlighting God’s faithfulness and the centrality of the cross to focusing on righteousness and life in the spirit. From “for the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord,” to “I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.” Paul’s message in the book of Romans covers many things but the heart of it all is God’s love for us . . . God’s love for you. Helping us navigate the book of Romans today is Dr. Thomas Schreiner, Professor of New Testament Interpretation and Biblical Theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and author of many books including a commentary on Romans.
