The image of God refers to humanity’s unique identity as God’s representatives to the rest of creation. The image of God implies that every human being has inherent dignity, that our physical embodiment is important, that we are created for dependent relationship with God and others, and that we are to live in accordance with God's character. In light of those implications, we should approach AI as a tool that develops ...

After presenting his thorough and rich teachings on sin, faith, God's sovereignty, and Israel, Paul brings this theological portion of his epistle to a close with a doxology that summarizes his thoughts. Paul concludes that God's wisdom is unfathomable. God's ways are unfathomable. And God's grace is unfathomable. All things are from him so we thank him. All things are done through him so we rely on him. And all things are to...

Although Israel has largely rejected God, Paul argues that God has not rejected Israel. Rather, God has a plan of salvation for Israel, which involves preserving a faithful remnant in Israel, using Israel's rejection to bring the gospel to all nations, and securing the fullness of salvation for Israel in due time. Seeing that should encourage us because God is always at work, often in mysterious ways, to carry out His plan of salva...

Paul continues to address the "problem of Israel" and he deals with one final objection: What if Israel didn't believe the gospel because they never had the chance to hear the gospel? To that objection, Paul shows that Israel had ample opportunities to hear the gospel. As such, when it comes to evangelism, we need to share the gospel with beautiful feet (sacrificial initiative), open mouths (clear explanations), and outstretched ha...

Previously, Paul addressed the divine sovereignty side of the "problem of Israel" rejecting the gospel. Now, Paul addresses the human responsibility side. Humans have a real role to play when it comes to salvation. Our responsibility is to put our faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. This means surrendering and entrusting our lives to Jesus with both an inward conviction as well as an outward expression of belief. And as the resp...

After providing divine assurances, Paul reaffirms God's sovereignty in salvation by addressing the unbelief of Israel. God is sovereign in salvation because salvation rests upon His election of His people by His saving grace. Paul, anticipating objections, also addresses common questions regarding God's sovereignty in salvation. God is justified in His election because God graciously bestows mercy upon the undeserving. God is fair ...

Whether due to fearful uncertainty regarding the future or the haunting regret of past failures or the overwhelming difficulty of present circumstances, we can find ourselves in a place of doubt, confusion, and uncertainty in following after Jesus. In light of that, the Apostle Paul points us to divine assurance. We have unshakable assurance in Christ because God’s sovereign grace secures our glory, God’s completed work...

While we have been set free in Christ, one of the ongoing challenges we face with life in a fallen world is suffering. We find ourselves groaning under the weight of sin and death while waiting for our redemption. But even in our groaning, we can wait with patience because the Holy Spirit groans for us and with us. His intercession and presence encourage us to wait with hope.

Christians can live out their freedom in Christ, which is a freedom from sin and freedom for obedience, through the Holy Spirit. Here, Paul highlights three things the Holy Spirit does to help us live in that freedom. The Holy Spirit applies the work of Christ to our lives. The Holy Spirit empowers us to fight off the influence of the flesh. The Holy Spirit testifies to our true identity as children of God. Instead of living in the...

Paul explains that although we are free from the law, the law is not meaningless nor evil. For it is through the law that we know the exceeding sinfulness of sin. Furthermore, it reveals the utter weakness of our flesh to keep the law and to fulfill our desire to be good. We want to do good, but we don't. We want to avoid evil, but we fall into it again and again. There is a battle that rages within us that traps many in a vic...

After explaining how we have been set free from sin through our union with Christ, Paul now explains that our freedom from sin leads to our freedom for obedience to God. True obedience to God is willing submission, is in alignment with God's Word, is carried out in all of life, and transforms us to become more like Jesus. While this may seem like a paradox, true freedom is found in obedience to God and leads to the kind of life tha...

Paul anticipates that there will be those who seek to take advantage of God's grace by continuing in their sin. But he adamantly states that Christians should not continue in sin because they have been set free from the power of sin through their union with Christ in his death and resurrection. As such, their old life is dead and they have been given a brand new life. From that foundational union with Christ, Christians must now fi...

As Paul has unpacked the blessings that come with justification by faith, he highlights just how great a blessing justification is by presenting a "before" and "after" contrast between where we used to be and where we are now. Before in Adam, we belonged to a fallen humanity condemned to death. But now in Christ, we belong to a redeemed humanity justified for life. Jesus is the "greater Adam", whose exclusive and exhaustive work pa...

Previously, Paul had just laid out that justification comes by faith and uses Abraham as an example. Now in Romans 5, Paul briefly lays out the multitude of blessings that come with our justification through faith. We have peace with God, and we can now find access into his unending grace. Furthermore, we have joy even in our sufferings because it produces hope. And this hope does not fail us because it has been proven through ...

The Apostle Paul has laid out the heart of the gospel message, which is that we are justified before God not on the basis of our works, but on the basis of what Jesus has done. But how do we receive such righteousness? We receive Christ's righteousness by faith, and by faith alone. In this passage, Paul brings up the example of Abraham to show that God has always justified on the basis of faith alone. The outlook of such justifying...

Here in chapter 3, we get to the crux, or turning point, of the gospel message. Paul has articulated the fullness of man’s depravity, both Jews and Gentiles alike, and their inability to attain righteousness for themselves. All had sinned, and none could save themselves. But now the righteousness of God, promised and foreshadowed from the Old Testament, has been revealed through the person of Jesus Christ. This righteousn...

After laying out how God's judgment comes upon those who blatantly sin, Paul turns the tables and shows that those who are self-assured, morally-upstanding, and religiously-devout are just as much in danger of God's judgment through their religiosity. Religiosity is the attempt to secure righteousness before God through religious performance. As such, we need to repent of our religiosity just as much as we need to repent of our bla...

As Paul lays out the gospel message, he will first explain God's just wrath on all unrighteousness. There is no good news without first knowing the sobering truth of the bad news. Paul explains the fullness of the depravity of the human condition where we were given up to our idolatry, lusts, and rebellion. This highlights not only our utter need for a savior, but also the glory of God's salvation.

With the introductory portion of his letter, the Apostle Paul highlights the central theme of his entire letter: the gospel of God. The gospel of God is the good news of God's salvation for everyone who believes. As such, it fulfills the promises of the Old Testament, it is centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ, and it has a missional impulse to reach all nations.
