19 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

— Romans 1:19-20

16 In past generations, He let all nations go their own way.

17 Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”

— Acts 14:16-17

8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!

— Romans 5:8-9

Thoughts on Today’s Reading

Grace, mercy and love from Christ to you.

Romans isn’t just theology. Paul’s message in it challenges us, confronts us and ultimately invites us to transform our lives. Paul tackles the big questions of life. Why are we here? What is sin? How can we find peace with God and what does it mean to truly live in God‘s grace. Paul’s teachings in Romans are as relevant today as they were in his time, providing guidance for navigating the complexities of faith, identity and purpose. Romans impacts our lives.

If we took its words to heart, it could be the turning point where our faith deepens and our understanding of God‘s love expands. Romans causes us to dig deep to question our assumptions and to see ourselves in the world through God‘s eyes. If we have ever wondered whether God truly loves us and has forgiven our sins, or how God has been truly changing us, Romans offers answers that touches our souls, and can transform our entire outlook on life.
