Synopsis

The Apostle Paul’s Letter to the Romans is God’s great gift to the world to explain the reason why Jesus died. This commentary goes to the heart of Paul’s epistle. The author explains how the apostles became the first witnesses to the inside story of the cross. They saw it from the inside, like seeing the backstage of a theatre. The audience see the drama on stage, but those watching from behind understand how everything is done. They see how the director has planned it all, and they get an insight into how everything works together. The apostle Paul explains the events of the cross from behind the scenes, from the viewpoint of God who had planned and directed every aspect. This letter describes the wonder of forgiveness and the immeasurable provision of spiritual power that are provided through the cross. Many Christians have lost their joy and delight in their salvation. This book exploresGod’s amazing grace and love for a fallen world. To quote the author: “The word ‘grace’ occurs twenty times in Romans, and only eighteen times in the whole of the Old Testament. In fact, the word occurs more in Romans than in any book of the Bible. Grace is God’s amazing kindness in action to do astonishing good to the worst of undeserving sinners. C.S. Lewis once overheard some Christians debating what is the most distinctive aspect of Christianity. “Oh, that’s easy,” he said: “Grace.” The message of God’s love and grace should empower us to sing and make merry with music and dancing. Without this understanding, words like justification, redemption and propitiation become dry and dusty.” This commentary points the reader to the surpassing joy of being God’s children. It uncovers the keys to walking in the Spirit, drawing on the power of God’s presence to make the Christian life the delight that God intends it to be.
