Paul’s Epistle to the Romans

New Community Church, Adelaide - Sermon series on Romans. Martin Luther tells us why this epistle is critical: “This letter is truly the most important piece in the New Testament. It is purest Gospel. It is well worth a Christian’s while not only to memorise it word for word but also to occupy himself with it daily,  as though it were the daily bread of the soul. Up to now it has been  darkened by glosses and by many a useless comment, but it is in itself  a bright light, almost bright enough to illumine the entire Scripture.”

Romans 12:14-16

Very often the Lord brings upon our paths people who are hard to get along with. If we truly love Him, we will demonstrate godly love. And it will extend beyond our church family to those outside. Because having been saved by grace, we will seek to make this grace known to others. So how are we to do this? Through the kind of sincere love that Paul is talking about in this passage.
