All Things Are Possible

"But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)

The book of Romans presents the case for grace more persuasively than any other Bible book. God uses it to teach us that since we are all sinners and fall short of God’s glory, we are all in need of grace (Romans 3:23). Everybody is a sinner from birth. Our original sinful ancestor, Adam, gave us a spiritual birth defect known as a sinful nature. The good news is that God’s grace in Jesus Christ is so great that it may overflow the dam of sin.

Even after a person pledges his life to Christ, the issue of sin persists. When we place our faith in Him, we receive complete forgiveness and righteousness, yet sin persists in our lives. Temptation is a constant. Far too many Christians are still experiencing spiritual defeat.

Many Christians adore Jesus and desire to follow Him, but they are still under the influence . . .

Almost every Bible doctrine finds its best defense and fullest explanation in Paul’s letter to the Romans. Throughout the ages, this one book has single-handedly sparked revivals, incited revolutions, altered the history of nations, and transformed billions of lives.

The great preacher, John Chrysostom, thought so highly of this letter that he read it once a week for 18 years. Romans will be our pulpit focus for several weeks.

This week, we will look at Romans 1; next week Romans 2 and 3 of this beloved book.
