December 9, Day 343

Today's Reading



Romans 8 is one of the most beautiful chapters in Scripture: "Nothing can separate us from the love of God." Romans 9 is one of the most difficult chapters in Scripture, describing the sovereignty of God. Then, chapter 10 seems to put the whole picture together: "Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

How can God's sovereignty and man's freedom coexist? It's a mystery that causes debate among God's people, some arguing one extreme while others argue the opposite. I think we miss significant parts of God's character if we swing too far to either side.

  1. I think I will have to re-read all of this several times to pick up everything in it. Romans is one of my favorite books and today we covered some great passages.
