Paul's Letter to the Romans
In 386 AD, Augustine, feeling lost and dead to God, read Romans 13:14 and gave his life to Christ. In 1513, Martin Luther pondered Romans 1:17 until it suddenly became clear and, according to Luther, "I felt myself to be reborn and to have gone through open doors into paradise... This passage of Paul became to me a gateway into heaven." In 1738, John Wesley heard someone read aloud from Martin Luther's Commentary on Romans, and that night, in Wesley's own words, "I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone, for my salvation, and an assurance was given me that he had taken my sins away, even mine." John Calvin said of the Book of Romans, "When anyone understands this Epistle, he has a passage opened to him to the understanding of the whole Scripture." And the poet Samuel Coleridge called the book "The most profound work in existence."
In this series we seek to explore and experience the life-changing truths of the book of Romans.
