Romans 1–7: The Gift of God
Overview
We want to be right in the eyes of the law of our land, of those we respect, of our loved ones, of those we work with. We strive to gain and then keep this right standing. But there is another, far better and more important righteousness. A righteousness which changes and liberates every aspect of our lives, and yet which none of us can earn or maintain ourselves. It’s a righteousness from God. Romans 1–7 is all about that righteousness. It shows us why we don’t have it, why we need it, and how we can receive it. It thrills us that “the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6 v 23). These seven studies will help you to understand one of the most-read, most written-about parts of the Bible. And, as they enable you to you unwrap God’s precious gift of right standing with him, they’ll transform your hearts, lives, identities and perspectives.
