Powerful Gospel Grace

"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. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." Romans 1:16-17JUST HOW POWERFUL IS THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?The gospel is so powerful that it must change God-hating sinners into Christ exalting, God-loving, gospel-honoring worshipers of the Almighty Creator of the universe.This unusual commentary on the first three chapters of Romans aim to present the powerful gospel of Jesus Christ, which by the Holy Spirit saves the sinner by God's grace alone through faith alone. It is an unusual format as the first fifteen verses of chapter one will be included in the last volume of the series alongside chapter sixteen.Let the reason we gather with believers, the reason we meditate in private, the reason we pray in earnest, the reason we study the Bible with understanding, and the reason we proclaim Christ, and Him crucified, is to worship God in Christ, casting all else aside until we have achieved that end; yea, that we may glorify God and enjoy Him forever, in, by, and through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Amen.In this volume, and the five others to follow, Jon Cardwell presents the gospel of Jesus Christ by an exposition of Romans so that the doctrinal and dutiful truths of the gospel of grace will bring the Christian believer passionately and devotionally nearer his Lord and Savior.
