Religion Can't Save You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Romans 2:17-3:8 Paul now addresses those who possessed every outward privilege of God's covenant people. Israel had the Law, circumcision, the promises, and generations of God's faithfulness. Yet covenant privileges were never intended to replace covenant faith. Religious identity, theological knowledge, and faithful participation in worship are all wonderful gifts, but none of them can substitute for a transformed heart. Paul reminds us that God's covenant has always aimed at inward renewal thr
Heritage Can't Save You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Romans 2:1-16 In the previous passage, Paul writes about the sinfulness of the pagans. In this passage, Paul turns to the Church, both Jewish and Gentile believers. These listeners would have been nodding along with Paul in his condemnation of the immoral pagans of chapter 1.

Their heritage as moral gentiles or members of the jewish covenant family does not help them e
When They Exchanged the Glory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Romans 1:18-32 Paul's description of humanity's rebellion is not primarily about breaking rules, it is about exchanging worship. We all worship something or someone.

Not Ashamed of the Gospel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Romans 1:8-17 The letter of Romans' great theme emerges in verse 17, that is the righteousness of God revealed through faith. This Gospel, this good news about Jesus, is not something we should be ashamed of, even in regions and cultures that are overwhelmingly opposed to Christianity. Throughout Romans we will discover that God's saving righteousness is not merely an attribute He possesses, but a gift he graciously gives through Christ and this gift is meant to be received and then given to oth
The Gospel of God (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Romans 1:1-7 Romans opens not with advice for better living, but with good news about what God has done in Jesus Christ. Before Paul ever addresses sin, justification, or the Christian life, he announces the gospel, the long-promised fulfillment of God's covenant purposes through the death and resurrection of his Son. This gospel is not merely about how individuals are forgiven, but about the arrival of God's kingdom in Christ, the fulfillment of Israel's Scriptures, and God's plan to gather peo
