    Daily Devotional: romans 3:19-31

    God is the God of both the Jew and gentile because He is sovereign over all. He is creator. Therefore those who are under the Law, Jews, are shown their unrighteousness by the Law so that every mouth may be closed—so that people will know that they cannot boast in their works. No one can…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 3:1-18

    Paul makes it clear, the only advantage Jews have over gentiles is that they were entrusted with the oracles of God—the Scriptures—in order for the whole world to be blessed. Their unbelief and belief, though, are equal to that of the gentiles. The unbelief does not nullify the faithfulness, justice, or judgment of God. Paul…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 2:17-29

    Paul is writing to the unincorporated in Rome—largely a gentile audience. There are apparently Jews there. Here, her explains that Jews are not true Jews if they transgress the Law. Further, Gentiles who keep the Law without having it are true Jews—the people of God. Paul gives us a clue as to the nature of…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 2:9-16

    Paul is unclear, here, about what and when the day of judgment will be (v. 5, 16). What we know for sure is that on the day of judgment, it is a person’s conscience and thoughts that bear witness against him or her. Those who keep the Law will be justified. The person’s soul will…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 2:1-8

    After listing the things he believes are degrading to the person—things that are harmful to individuals and society: homosexuality, wickedness, greed, envy, murder, deceit, malice, gossip, slander, arrogance, boastfulness, and disobedience to parents—Paul indicts everyone who passes judgment on those who practice such things. We should perk up, here, because we like to mount our…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 1:18-32

    Paul explains why he is unashamed of the gospel. “For” in the English translations can most often also be translated, “because.” Paul is unashamed of the gospel because the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. So, we cannot begin at verse…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 1:7-17

    Paul addresses his letter to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints. He does not address it to all those who love God or who are currently in a church group. So, later, when he mentions that he wants to come to them to preach the gospel and see evangelistic fruit…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 1:1-6

    Introduction Romans was written by Paul (Saul of Tarsus) in the mid 50s AD. Paul’s purpose in writing a letter to Rome was to encourage them, impart some knowledge to them because they were not yet established, and preach the gospel to them (1:11-15). Since Romans was written to an unestablished people in order to…
