THE BIBLE MAKES EVERY PLACE BEAUTIFUL: FREE SPEECH ON RUMBLE & IN PUBLIC: READING THE HOLY BIBLE: ROMANS:1

Today, I am reading the Bible aloud in a truck stop along I-10 on my way to the Los Angeles area.

Truck stops are typically not glamorous, but what a privilege it is to be able to carry the Good News to everyone and also online worldwide, via Rumble, the free speech platform. We take a lot of this technology and freedom for granted in 2023, but it's amazing that we can do it. So let's do it! The Bible makes all things beautiful.

The Book of Romans is one of the most read books of the Bible. Romans is perhaps the most succinct, clear, and systematic presentation of Christian doctrine in all of scripture. For this reason, it is often one of the very first books that new believers read when they start to study the Bible.

The Book of Romans was written by the apostle Paul in approximately 57-58 C.E. Romans was written as a letter, or epistle, to the Christian church in Rome and was intended to provide direction, encouragement, and guidance to that community of believers.

Throughout Paul's letter to the Romans, he sets out to share foundational knowledge with the community of believers. He begins by remarking on human sinfulness, that is, on the tendency of all people to mess up or fall short of living the way God intends us to. It’s an experience that all human beings can relate to, both in Paul’s time and in our own. Paul wrote that due to our rebellion against God—against what is right—all of humanity has been condemned. But, Paul goes on, God is merciful and gracious and offers us justification, or a way to be made right, through faith in Jesus Christ, His Son.

By Jesus’ sacrifice for us, we have been redeemed and saved. Christ’s blood covers our sin. But Paul also insists that salvation is not the endpoint of our lives of faith; it is the starting point. We are being continually refined and made righteous by the Holy Spirit through our lives as we follow Jesus. Our redemption, made possible by the grace of God, spurs us on to a life spent in pursuit of Jesus Christ.

ALL GLORY TO GOD.
JESUS CHRIST IS KING.
