26. Relying on Grace Rather than the Law || And, does Paul condemn homosexuality?
LDS Come Follow Me 2023
August 7–13
Romans 1–6
“The Power of God unto Salvation”
Paul’s letter to the Romans is one of my favorite books in all of scripture. It’s bursting at the seams with talk of grace, faith, and the gospel (good news), which Paul calls ‘ the power of God unto salvation’. Romans 1 also includes a few verses that are too-often-weaponized against our LGBTQ+ siblings. We’ll discuss these as well.l
