Romans 2 - Day 320 (link to today's reading)
Scripture: Romans 2:12-16 Commentary by Charles Swindoll: The letter to the Romans stands as the clearest and most systematic presentation of Christian doctrine in all the Scriptures. Paul began by discussing that which is most easily observable in the world—the sinfulness of all humanity. All people have been condemned due to our rebellion against God. However, God in His grace offers us justification by faith in His Son, Jesus. When we are justified by God, we receive redemption, or salvation, because Christ’s blood covers our sin. But Paul made it clear that the believer’s pursuit of God doesn’t stop with salvation; it continues as each of us is sanctified—made holy—as we persist in following Him. Paul’s treatment of these issues offers a logical and complete presentation of how a person can be saved from the penalty and power of his or her sin. Application: We will be held accountable for our actions. Not surprisingly, people know the difference between right and wrong. We instinctively know that killing another human being, stealing something that doesn't belong to us or criticizing someone when they're not there to defend themselves is wrong. Prayer: Lord, fill me afresh with Your Holy Spirit... Comments are closed.
