In his writings, Paul aggressively tackles a number of topics that remain relevant for us today, including sin, redemption, life in the Spirit, and how to live in a world that can be hostile to the Christian message. The second half of Romans is where the importance of this letter for the holiness community becomes most clear. Paul wants every believer to know that the answer to the problem of sin is an active, daily walk with the indwelling Holy Spirit. This volume of the Shaped by Scripture series will bring to completion your in-depth study of Paul’s letter to the Roman church.
A faithful reading of God’s Word leads to a faithful response from God’s people. The Shaped by Scripture series teaches a simple, engaging method of studying the Bible that will lead to honest interpretation and a changed relationship with God.
