Luther stated that if one was to understand Christianity, he should read Paul's letter to the Romans. Luther suggested that Romans be read regularly.

To: lag along

Of course, the Gospels, Acts and all the Epistles are wonderful. But Romans and Ephesians are so rich that if one meditates each verse, and savours its meaning as one might savour each spoonful of some superlative cream of crab soup recipe, one begins to get at least a small glimpse of the generosity and goodness of God in giving us this, His Plan of Salvation.

I will be 73 years old in August. I will also celebrate my 50th Spiritual Birthday in August. I got Saved on August 18, 1962. And after all these years of serving the Lord, and soul-winning and Bible study, etc., it is just now beginning to sink into my thick skull and calloused old heart, the unimaginable love and grace and generosity God has made available to us HERE AND NOW; not to mention what those who love God have awaiting them in eternity.

There is an old gospel song which is based on 1st Peter 1:8 which goes, “It is joy unspeakable and full of glory...........and the half hath never yet been told.”

Oh Pshaaaaaw! The half?! Truth be told; what awaits us is SOOOOO unspeakably glorious that not one nano-particle has ever yet been imagined, let alone having been told!
