Here is the dire state of humanity in unbelief. God’s law shows us our guilt, but we are vastly too fallen to earn acceptance with God. Here, then, is God’s promises of acceptance and righteousness as a gift, secured through faith in the saving work of Christ.
Here are the tremendous advantages of being a Jew, not a pagan, that would draw Jews to seek transformed hearts and lives. But so many of them preferred to preserve only the outward trappings of religion. Is this the case with many ‘nominal’ Christians today?
Judgement will come to Jews and Gentiles alike, for the Jews have the Law in Moses, while all have it engraven on their conscience. Here is the imagined superiority of many Jews, contradicted by their conduct. Are not Christians often the same? A call to self-examination.
Romans 2 emphasizes the personal stirring of every person. Here is how, but the general response despises the greatest and kindest benefits of God, being ignorant of the reason of His longsuffering – the call to salvation. Here also is the seeking that leads to God.
Here is the bleak human condition away from God, with 23 evils that infect hearts. In the light of these, we consider the price paid by Christ of salvation, the extent of transformation in conversion, and how the opposite virtues should be growing in believers.
What a Gospel this is! Christ, his love, his pardon, his righteousness, his Spirit, his holiness, his strength and his fulness, are all offered freely to poor, miserable sinners. Nothing must interfere with this freeness.
‘He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.’
Paul presents the wilful rejection of God’s divinity and glory, and the mental dullness that results; also the deep sins of Roman and modern society. Depressing, yes. But the apostle is undaunted, because the power of Christ’s Gospel can cut through it all.
Here is God’s perfect definition of the gospel. It is a person—Christ—who is God’s free gift of righteousness to believers. Here is how Luther re-discovered it. Here also is ‘justification’, God’s declaration that a believing sinner is clean, and how Rome negates every element.
Paul had a zealous readiness to preach at Rome, and was not dismayed by the contempt he would face. He knew he possessed a mighty bomb, but one of love and grace, that would achieve spiritual conquests to outlast all the power of an empire.
First, Paul’s manner of prayer and how he serves with all his heart. Secondly, his longing to reach Rome for souls and to advance their assurance. Thirdly, his sense of indebtedness to the lost, its depths and how we need this also. (Obligation is not enough!)
Paul’s longest letter, chiefly about salvation, full of doctrine and themes filling the heart to overflowing. Here are some of the special riches of verses 1-5, with four compelling reasons why we should be drawn to Christ the Lord.
‘For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.’
‘O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.’
‘What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?’
‘There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.’
Justification by faith! What does it mean? It is the simplest yet the most profound teaching in the world. It is the most important thing anyone can know; the most surprising, the kindest, the most powerful, and the most costly (for God). It gives eternal life.
The seven great benefits that flow from justification are revealed by the apostle. Here are the incomparable riches of Christian life and experience that lift believers over tribulations and make communion with Christ a daily reality. A ministerial compendium of blessing.
Over the last decades there has come in among Christians a craze for counselling borrowed from secular psychology, largely formulated by atheists opposed to biblical teaching. It is astonishing that even evangelical churches are hiring counsellors to ‘heal’ Christians who need biblical advice, not psychological therapy.
The only source of knowledge about God and how to know Him comes from the Bible. Here is proof that it is God’s infallible truth. And here is what we must believe about Christ to find Him, and to avoid the shame of a lost soul.
By peace, the Bible refers to cessation of war and the close union that replaces it. Whether we are aware of it or not, all are at war with God. Here is how, and here also is the amnesty that transforms life and eternity.
One of the most common impediments to believing in Christ is that of self-righteousness. It is a powerful ‘enemy within’ each one of us. Here are its forms, and the only way to shed it and know true conversion to God.
Atheism is the most common condition brainwashed into us today. Exactly how does it affect us? How does it change us? Here are the aspects of life torn from us by atheism, and how much God will do for those who seek Him.
How could it be that God allowed the Fall, and all the evil and horror that was brought into the world, when our first parents fell? How was it that sin was ever permitted in the first place? Our limited, human way of reasoning soon calls into question the righteousness of God.
It is an astonishing concept for us that Christ Jesus, the Lord of glory, should dearly love his people. Here is an opportunity for us just to skim the surface of that mighty, unspeakable love. He has bound himself to each one of his people, even to the weakest, the youngest, and the smallest, with a depth of affection beyond human comprehension.
Current coronavirus restrictions deeply affect our worship, our fellowship, our Sunday Schools and our outreach. No one likes them or wants them. Recently, a British evangelical periodical asked the question – Should we have a debate about this? Are we doing the right thing? Should the churches, ruled by Christ, surrender so easily to the state – the kingdom of this world?
Paul personifies sin as an emperor who conscripts us into his army and drills us in unbelief and lust to bind us in his service. Then Paul shows how we may be ‘brought out’ of our bondage to walk with the Lord God.
‘I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.’
Even if surrounded by the might and superiority of imperial Rome, Paul cannot be intimidated, for he proclaims a message of over-towering power, that illuminates minds, transforms hearts, unites people to God and grants eternal life – this is the only message of spiritual rescue.
All who have responded to the call of Christ can say with Paul, ‘We know that all things work together for good to them that love God’. Is our course of life disordered, or planned by the Lord all the way to eternal glory?
‘I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.’
Militant atheists caricature Christian belief, reducing it to something childish and abnormal. They seem unable to grasp anything of God’s being, or the necessity, scope and kindness of His love. Here is the work of Christ, and how His love may be tasted and proved.
‘To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:..But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.’
‘That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.’
Paul spells out how God has made salvation possible by the atonement of Christ and the work of the Spirit in the heart. Are our minds set on material things and the ‘here and now’ or do we know Christ inseparably for life and eternity?
The Jews of Paul’s day were intensely religious, and so were the Gentiles in their paganism. Yet neither understood nor sought to know God and His purposes. Here are the losses due to vagueness in matters of the soul, and here are the gains of finding Him.
‘Two natures’ was the position of the Reformers, the Puritans and the mainstream evangelical position until the 1950s. Here is the scriptural support, also the mistakes of the one-nature view, and how the old view gives the most realistic view of the struggle for holiness.
‘I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.’
There are two classes of people in the Bible, those who focus on ‘the flesh’, and those who relate to the Spirit. Here are the characteristics and goals of each, and how God can free us from the captivity of flesh to know communion with Himself.

Atheism steals the key to understanding of life, claiming there is no God, eliminating the soul and eternal life. It is unable to answer all ‘why’s?’ of life or to forge character.

(Romans 3:9-11) The deeper things of … Continued
Paul tells of how he once lived as a Jewish intellectual without concern about his condition before God. Then the day came when the commandments of God suddenly shook his conscience and led him to faith. Here is the discovery of life’s purpose.
Using a military analogy, Paul compares waking from soul-sleep to soldiers being roused to defend against an attack. Here are spiritual realities unseen while we live with no thought of God. Here is the new life that dawns with finding Him.
Here is Paul magnificently explaining first, how not to gain the ear of God, and then how to do so – by understanding how He saves the soul and changes the life; also how to approach Him. This is the way to find and know Him.

Romans 8 shows sanctification begins with conversion and that it is progressive lifelong. Here is how the Spirit employs the Word, the conscience, and the practice of putting to death sin. Here also are special means such as divine chastisement, suffering and mutual admonition.
The apostle makes us pause to sense the depths of the ugliness and harm of sin. His words jolt us, alarming us out of our lightness and calling us to engage fully in the war against sin through personal holiness and Gospel proclamation.
Paul’s analogy of war shows our state before God. We are enlisted in a war against Him, using faculties and powers as weapons. It is a moral war, a rebellion, in which we will fall. Here is the possibility of amnesty and reconciliation.
Paul’s powerful challenge to all believers to offer up their lives constantly as a living sacrifice. The need for sacrifice today; what it includes, and also what it is not. The value of this precious concept and its benefits to us spiritually.
The question, ‘Why did God allow sin?’ deeply disturbs many seekers and young believers for it challenges the perfection of God. The full answer – beyond our capacity – awaits eternity, but here are precious clues that reveal a glorious and heart-warming part of God’s eternal wisdom.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16) The deeper things of life are so easily crowded out today. Here at the Metropolitan Tabernacle we cater for the … Continued

Paul’s famous ‘backwards text’ covers the wonders of the Gospel, the call and the commissioning of preachers, and what it means to truly hear, believe and call upon the Lord for salvation. The back-to-front order serves to stir responsibility to make Christ known.
It may seem open-minded and non-judgemental to be vague about God and spiritual matters, but here are some of the things vagueness will forfeit and miss. Many are surprising, and all have lifelong consequences. Here are the benefits of following Christ.
Christ, long prophesied, was appointed to obtain spiritual salvation at Jerusalem in a manner that would humble human pride and presumption, draw multitudes to believe, but confound those who rejected Him. To the last day Christ will be the Rock of refuge or of dismay.

The priceless benefits of justification are here described and amplified. So great is the ‘fortune’ of believers, how can we fall into sorrow, or not share it, for the worldling has nothing. It is all by faith, progressively refined in the tests of life.
Everyone, though we may deny it, esteems, worships and obeys a variety of ‘forces’ and people, becoming shaped by them. The need to admire and submit is inescapable. Here is God’s remedy for misplaced servility, and the vast superiority of yielding to Him alone.

To what extent are the Ten Commandments written in every heart? Does the apostle redefine the term ‘Jew’ in showing that Gentiles may be Jews in their hearts? May Christians ever resemble the Jews condemned here for disobedience to the law? Paul provides the answers.

In one of his most surprising illustrations Paul shows that, before conversion, we are in the employment of sin. If only we could see that it is the worst possible employer, giving disastrous rewards. By contrast, here is what we gain by turning to Christ.
The supreme and most vital teaching of Christianity about salvation – the key to knowing God – is the teaching of justification by faith alone. What does it mean, in plain terms, and why is it essential for any personal discovery of God?
