God's Law is good. It's holy. It's useful. But when we try to use the Law, or any other list of rules, to draw us closer to God, failure inevitably follows. The rules just become an inspiration to sin. They can tell us what to do, but they can't help us do it. So thank God that He has freed us from the Law so that we might draw near to Him in a new way, in the way of grace!

The first half of Romans answers some of life's greatest questions. What's wrong with this world, and whose fault is it? What hope do we have in the midst of our sin? Is God's grace in salvation free or costly? Why shouldn't justified people sin? Why are we here; what's our purpose in life? We'll answer these questions and more by looking back through the most significant passages in Romans 1-6.

The book of Romans is not about us. It is not simply about how men and women 'get saved.' Romans is about God, and specifically, His righteousness. In Romans the Apostle Paul demonstrates that God is righteous in all that He is and in all that He does - He is righteous in the condemnation of all sin, in the justification of sinners, in the sanctification of the justified, in the outworking of His plan in history, and He manifests His righteous through our lives to a fallen world.

False advertising at its best is funny, but at its worst is fatal. And the hands-down worst case of false advertising in all of human history is sin. Sin promises fun and satisfaction, but delivers just the opposite. It leads us down a path of addiction, shame, and death. Fortunately, we have a choice. We can obey our new Master, the Lord God, and enjoy His power, His peace, and His freedom.

Bob Dylan used to sing, You're gonna have to serve somebody...it may be the devil or it may be the Lord but you're gonna have to serve somebody. Mr. Dylan may not have understood the full implications of what he was singing, but he spoke truth nevertheless. We all serve somebody - ourselves, sin and death, or God, obedience and righteousness. As Christians, we have been freed from serving the destructive master, sin - it is no longer necessary or appropriate for us to sin since we now belong to God. And when we offer ourselves up to God, we discover that He is a good, life-giving Master.

God's grace is without limit: where sin abounds, grace super-abounds! But if that's true, then why not let sin reign in our lives so that we can get more of God's grace? After all, sin's easy and pleasurable, at least for a while. So why not let sin reign? Because of Jesus... because the infinite, perfect, innocent Son of God died and rose again for this explicit purpose: to emancipate us once-and-for-all from slavery to sin. Because we've been united to His death and resurrection, we need never serve sin again. Let us know it, believe it, and live it!

Rejoice always! It is a command, and therefore, we must conclude that it can and should be obeyed. But what does it mean, and how can it be obeyed when so many of our circumstances are difficult and overwhelming? To rejoice is a choice, not a feeling; it is an attitude or perspective gained by looking to the future, while not ignoring the present. It is an orientation toward life that can be experienced only by praying...and praying...and praying...without ever ceasing, and by cultivating a heart that continuously gives thanks in everything.

At this very moment every person on this planet is represented before God by one of two men - Adam or Jesus Christ.

That may not seem fair, but because we were represented by one man, Adam, in death, we can also be represented by one man, Jesus, in life. And the one great hope for all of humanity is that the gracious act of Jesus completely overcomes the deadly act of Adam...and this gift is available to all who believe.

Sex, as God designed it, is meant to point to and mirror Him. Unfortunately, many of us have developed distorted views of what sex is, and we've lost sight of God's plan. Whether single or married, we desperately need to elevate and broaden our view of sex and sexuality if we are to seek after the wholeness that God wants for us in this area.
