This Sunday: Chosen by God, Not Earned by Man (Romans 9)
The book of Romans is the Apostle Paul’s most thorough and carefully reasoned explanation of the gospel. Written around A.D. 57 to the church in Rome, Romans addresses both Jewish and Gentile believers and explains how God makes sinners right with Himself through faith in Jesus Christ. Paul’s central theme is the righteousness of God, revealed in the gospel and received by faith alone (Romans 1:16–17).
The book of Romans has profoundly shaped Christian history. In A.D. 386, Augustine of Hippo was converted after hearing a child’s voice say, “Take and read.” He opened Scripture to Romans 13:13–14 and was pierced by the call to abandon sinful living and put on Christ. That moment marked the turning point of his life and theology.
More than a millennium later, Martin Luther experienced his own conversion through Romans, particularly Romans 1:17. Struggling with guilt and fear of God’s judgment, Luther came to understand that the righteousness of God is not earned but given by faith. This insight ignited the Protestant Reformation and reshaped the church’s understanding of salvation.
Romans stands as a towering declaration of the gospel: humanity’s deepest problem, God’s gracious solution in Christ, and the transformed life that flows from faith. It is a book that has not only instructed the church but has repeatedly ignited spiritual renewal—calling sinners, saints, and entire movements back to the truth that the just shall live by faith.
