— by Pastor Adekoya Akinbode Romans 11:1-5 Israel is not forgotten or forsaken or cast away! Some important things about God’s agenda for the Jews have already been expounded or emphasized upon in the review on chapter 9. As factual as it is that the Jews are not yet saved (come to the knowledge of...
— by Pastor Adekoya Akinbode As earlier pointed out that Roman 9 to 11 is all about Paul’s passion and his understanding of God’s plan for Israel. In verse 9 we see him talk about how burdened and sorrowful he gets, seeing that his kinsmen are yet saved because they are yet to free themselves...
— by Pastor Adekoya Akinbode Like I fondly say, we can just share the grace and we’re sure to have gotten The Message right in the book of Romans. I personally fondly love to call it the Book of Romance because, giving the right understanding, that is one of the Epistles of Paul that will...
— by Pastor Joseph Ola Yaay! Finally, we arrive at what is the climactic chapter where all the message Paul is trying to pass across in this epistle reaches a climax. I have known a pastor who spent years teaching from just this chapter alone (and spent almost 9 years teaching on the entire book...

— by Pastor Joseph Ola Introduction: This chapter could be titled “The Hyper-Sufficiency of Grace.” In Chapter 3, Paul explained how we obtain the righteousness of God by faith. In Chapter 4, he gave the Old Testament proof that grace has always been God’s plan — Salvation was never intended to be by works or...
— by Pastor Temilolu Oluwasijuwomi In the previous part, we concluded beyond doubt that everyone was Guilty as far as the Law was concerned. Verse 20 declares that since the verdict of the Law will be Guilty regardless of whatever is done: seeking Justification via that channel is absolutely futile. Hence, the Law is a...
— by Pastor Temilolu Oluwasijuwomi So we stopped at Chapter 1 vs 18 for good reason. To understand what and why Paul wrote from 1 vs 18 to 2 vs 29, I believe we have to check out Chapter 3 verses 4 to 8. It seems to me in chapter 3 : 4 – 8...
— by Pastor Temilolu Oluwasijuwomi The book Romans was definitely written to mostly Roman converts as well as Jews who had emigrated to Rome at the time Just like many Nigerians in the USA today.
