This is a new title by George R Knight. I have just finished reading it and I highly
recommend it for everyone to read.
Here are a few highlights:
P 11 “Romans is the most influential document in Christian
History. It stimulated not only the Protestant Reformation but many other
revivals throughout history”
P 27 “While some people might question the relevance of such
biblical books as Obadiah for living in today’s world, no one doubts the
importance of Romans for their life. All of us are daily confronted by the
problems of sin and guilt. And every Christian rejoices in the amazing grace of
God who welcomes us in spite of ourselves.”
P 44 Speaking of God’s Grace, “The wonder of wonders is that
the greatest blessing in the universe is absolutely free.”
P 65 “The good news is that Christ died for every human
being who has ever lived. The bad news is that not all receive or accept God’s
gracious gift.”
P 85 “Romans 8 is one of the most-loved chapters of the
Bible…One student has pointed out that the chapter opens with ‘no condemnation’
and ends with no ‘no separation’ while in between it is characterized by ‘no
defeat.’”
P 114 “As He hung on the cross Jesus prayed for those in the
act of killing Him.
Here, I must say, is a challenge to the genuineness of our
Christian love: Have we prayed for our enemies lately? If not, why not?
Today-right now- is a perfect time to do something that’s not normal. It could
change your life and theirs.
P 126 “…the apostle is out to win souls-not arguments. Thus,
he concludes the most influential presentation of salvation in the history of
Christianity with a prayer. Paul prays that ‘the God of hope’ will fill his
Roman readers (and us) with joy and peace as they trust in Him.”
This just touches on a tiny bit of what the complete book
presents so well. I encourage you to go to the following link and read the
