Romans 7:5

What do you think about sin? About salvation? About your life in Christ? In this devotional, Think Like a Roman, we are renewing our minds through the book of Romans. What we believe is essential to the way we live, to our growth, our walk with Christ, and our future in Christ. Our thoughts determine our beliefs, our beliefs determine our actions. Over the next four days, join us as we dive into our understanding of doctrine relating to sin, salvation, and freedom in Christ.

All of Christianity rests on this one single truth – Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. Because He lives, you can count yourself fully alive to God, no longer mastered by sin, but living through the power of grace.

Whether you’ve been a Christian for a few days or a few decades, you have probably asked yourself at some point, “Why does the Christian life seem so hard?” This devotional plan answers that question by digging into the most famous Christian struggle in history—that of the Apostle Paul in Romans 7.

This reading plan is about the intersection of race, grace, justice, and Jesus. Jesus provides unique hope as we deal with the heartbreaking headlines, hope that is certain about the future without overpromising answers in the present. Jesus’ teaching is equally empowering and humbling, forcing us to look into the mirror and then back to the cross and then across to our neighbor.
