LIVE: Introduction to the Letter to the Romans (Part 3/4)

Send us Fan MailIf you’ve ever thought, “I’m a good person, so I must be fine with God,” Romans has a way of taking that belief apart with terrifying clarity and surprising hope. We sit down and wrestle with the hard-edged claims of Scripture: none righteous, none who does good, none who seeks after God, and what those words mean for how we talk about salvation, free will, and grace.We trace the difference between God’s goodness as the standard and our moral goodness as something that can never justify us before a holy God. Along the way we connect Romans 3, Romans 1, Ephesians 2, John 10, and John 15 to a single theme: the problem is not that we are merely hurt, it’s that we are spiritually dead. That changes everything. If we’re dead in sin, then salvation must be resurrection, regeneration, and imputed righteousness, not self-improvement or religious performance.We also talk about why this truth feels so freeing once it finally lands, why “deconstructing Christianity” often reveals attachment to a system instead of love for Christ, and why perseverance is ultimately God’s work in us, not our grip on Him. If you want a clearer, more honest foundation for reading the book of Romans, this conversation sets the stage.Subscribe for the Romans study ahead, share this with a friend who’s stuck in works-based anxiety, and leave a review with the verse that first shook you awake.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
