The theme of Romans is the righteousness of God, but in order to realize the gift of salvation, man must first realize his moral state--he is a sinner. He is a sinner in need of grace and redemption. As he starts, Paul points his finger at the sin of the…

Honor God, or Go your own way. Romans 1.21-23

Zoom out for a minute with me . . . let’s take a look at where we find ourselves in Scripture. Paul has turned his attention toward the Christians in Rome. In his opening remarks, he comprehensively covers the nature of who Christ is, and what he has done. He makes it clear it is his life’s aim…
