  • Daily Devotional: Romans 8:18-25

    Daily Devotional: Romans 8:18-25

    Paul describes the present sufferings of the world. While many religious people describe the same sufferings with angst, Paul describes them with hope and optimism. He claims that the creation, that’s all of creation and not merely people who are being saved, waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. The creation longs…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 8:10-17

    If Christ is in us through the Holy Spirit, we no longer live according to that old-time religion. We no longer see outward works as a path to righteousness, enlightenment, or some kind of nirvana. “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch… are matters which have… the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 8:1-9

    Paul clarifies what he means when he states that the Law is fulfilled. Paul has a high view of the Law. He is a Jew. He already clarified that he did not mean the Law was abolished. Since all people have transgressed the Law, all people stood condemned. Now there is no condemnation for those…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 7:1-25

    Paul’s audience is mostly gentile, and Paul is trying to explain to them about the Law’s purpose. There was a time before the Law was given. God gave the Law to the Hebrews. The Law was meant to increase the trespass so that grace may abound. An obvious question arises; is the Law abolished in…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 6:8-23

    Because justification is by grace through faith and the person being saved is changed, he lives to Christ rather than sin. His desire is no longer to please himself or have things his own way. Instead, he desires to please Christ and have things Christ’s way. We are no longer instruments for our sinner heart…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 6:1-7

    Paul’s audience must have an obvious question. They are sinners apart from the Law. They are justified apart from the Law. Where there is a Law, it is given to increase the trespass so that justification by grace may abound. Why not, then, simply continue in sin? If justification is by grace alone, does it…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 5:12-21

    The gentiles and unincorporated Paul writes to have not been under Jewish Law. Not being under the Law, one has to wonder if it is even possible to sin since the Law has not been received. Paul here testifies about the doctrine of imputation. There was a time before the Jewish religion. There was a…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 5:1-11

    Therefore, since justification is by grace alone through faith alone, we have peace with God through Christ. There seem to be many today, even of the household of faith, who believe God is interested in war against people. Through Christ, He has declared peace and is saving a people by grace through faith for Himself.…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 4:9-25

    Remember, Paul’s audience is Roman––Greek and gentile. Paul has been explaining the Law. God gave the Law to the Jews. The Christ was Jewish. The Jews are considered the people of Yahweh. So, Paul answers a question that was doubtless on the minds of those reading his gospel message, “What about us? We are not…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 4:1-8

    Paul exposits Genesis 15:6 and Psalm 32:1-2. Paul does not wax eloquent according to his own philosophies or thoughts and then appropriate Scripture to try to prove his point. He takes the plain wording of the text, examines it carefully, and explains a theological truth to his audience. Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned,…
