The Free Gift

This week’s text can seem complicated upon first reading, but it is both theologically deep and rich in its assertions and implications.

Paul is going to force us to consider the origins of sin, the promised consequence of sin, and the glorious accomplishments of the Gospel. With that being said, we should not be surprised by the fact that it is only through effort that finite and physical creatures come to understand infinite and spiritual truths.

The Good News, however, is this, righteousness leads to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord! That’s worth pursuing, knowing, and celebrating.
