Scripture Reading Plan

  • In Romans 1-8, Paul leads us on a journey from our deepest need to our greatest hope. He begins by reminding us that all people, no matter who they are, fall short before God and cannot earn righteousness on their own. Yet into this hopelessness, God shines the light of grace: through faith in Jesus, we are made right with Him, just as Abraham was by trusting God’s promise.

  • This gift brings peace, joy, and life, even in suffering, because Christ has undone the curse of Adam’s sin. United with Him, we are set free from sin’s power, though we still wrestle with weakness. But the Spirit assures us we are God’s beloved children, and nothing—not hardship, failure, or even death—can ever separate us from His love.
