Exposition – The Epistle to the Romans
Paul’s Epistle to the Romans is arguably the quintessential book of the whole Bible when it comes to discovering the Christian gospel in its most clear, profound, and soul expanding expression. Therefore it is not surprising that the corridors of Christian church history have become strewn with exultant testimonies concerning the glorious message of reigning grace that this inspired jewel of Scripture so magnifies.
Dr. J. I Packer has commented that: “All roads in the Bible are seen most clearly from Romans, and when the message of Romans gets into a man’s heart there is no telling what may happen.” The reason for this dynamic effect is, to quote Paul, his declaration that the gospel “is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16).
