The Book of Romans (2020 Edition)

The book of Romans, penned by the apostle Paul and inspired by the Holy Spirit, is a two-thousand-year-old letter written to the church with the purpose of articulating God's enduring message of grace and glory.   Filled with rich doctrines of faith, Paul's enlightening epistle reveals God's heart for his people and instructs the church on the importance of right doctrine and right living. It empowers believers to live with deep conviction of truth and love-overcoming every enemy and seizing victory in Christ in all things. As we discover the heavenly treasures of grace, righteousness, and power, we are stirred, challenged, and enriched. Living in truth, we are set free by God's love.   You have received the 'Spirit of full acceptance,' enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, 'Beloved Father!' Romans 8:15
