Romans 1:19-20 (NLT) “They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them…Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.” This is a difficult...

Romans 1:18 (NKJV) “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,” God’s anger is not from here. God’s anger emanates from His throne room in heaven, and it targets...

Romans 1:17 (NKJV) “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.’” The gospel does not just work as salvation for the sinner, the gospel also works as the pillar of righteousness for the believer....

Romans 1:16 (NKJV) “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” The key to personal or communal transformation is not in systems, dogma or programs. The key...

Romans 1:11-12 (NLT) “For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord…I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.” Who are the kinds of people you keep as friends? Even...

Romans 1:11 (NKJV) “For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established—” This is a very powerful scripture, showing us an often forgotten biblical practice, which is the practice of impartation. In Ephesians 4:29, Paul...

Romans 1:10 (NLT) “One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing, to come at last to see you.” We all want our God-approved plans to succeed. We want our ideas and suggestions to gain momentum and find acceptance before men. We want to move ahead...
