Episode notes

The key to understanding the book of Romans is Jesus, especially the Sermon on the Mount. Paul's description of what it means to be a sinner is that we try to use God's law to earn or deserve love as a kind of reward. The idea that love is always a commandment and never a reward is at the heart of the gospel.

How does the experience of being a sinner affect the experience of being saved by Jesus? Dr. Adam Miller discusses why faith is crucial to our experience of redemption.
