Send us a textTo all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people:  Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 1:7Romans is described as one of the most intense books of the Bible. Some say you could spend a year or more studying it! In fact, the ESV Commentary provides the following warning to pastors preparing to preach on it:"Romans is complex enough to overwhelm an unwary expositor. It is so dense and rich that the biggest danger in preaching it might be information overload. Both preacher and congregation might despair of ever working through such a long and meaty treatise. "AW Tozer says the following to introduce the book of Romans:"Romans is Paul’s longest epistle, laying out a systematic treatise that theologically explains the gospel message of salvation as a gift of God provided through Jesus Christ, received by faith alone. Writing to a capital city obsessed with power, Paul emphasizes God’s power to save. In chapters 1–11, Paul lays out the story of humanity, covering the sinfulness of Jews and Gentiles alike, God’s righteousness, and God’s love and forgiveness. Paul describes the freedom available only in Christ. Paul gives a shortened recounting of the story of Israel, demonstrating God’s righteousness and saving power. In chapters 12–16, Paul shows how a believer’s faith can be applied in the world. Having faith in Christ is more than theological knowledge; it is about living in the fullness of Christ in our everyday lives."
