Romans Lesson 8

Romans 8 could arguably be the pinnacle of Paul’s letter to the Romans. At this point, Paul has argued that no one is saved by their heritage or their works (deeds). It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that grace and salvation come to man. He makes it clear that even the difficulties that we encounter in life, the tragedies, the heartaches are all used by God to bring about His divine plan. And his plan is for our good.

In chapters 9 and 10, Paul looks to his Jewish brothers many of whom had not accepted Jesus of Nazareth as the long-awaited Messiah. His focus in Chapter 9 is the absolute sovereignty of God.
