  • Daily Devotional: Romans 9:14-21

    Daily Devotional: Romans 9:14-21

    Paul has now claimed that the people of God are chosen from the womb, before they can do anything good or bad so that God’s purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls. Salvation is the choice of God, not people. Paul immediately answers the issue…

    Daily Devotional: Romans 9:1-13

    Romans 9 is too often neglected because it bothers the sensibilities of many who want a sort of synergism. Defending monergism is only one of Paul’s goals. He is writing to gentiles. These gentiles are immature in the faith or have no faith at the present time. They are unincorporated. Paul is explaining the basic…

  • DAily Devotional: Romans 8:26-39

    DAily Devotional: Romans 8:26-39

    The Spirit causes His people to love the Law. The Spirit causes His people to long for the renewal of the world. The Spirit also helps us in our weakness. Paul here states that we do not know how to pray as we should. That sounds different than most teaching, doesn’t it? In most religious…

  • 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 6:8-23

    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 4:9-25

    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 3:19-31

    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

    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…
