If you asked people for their favorite chapter in the book of Romans, very few would point to Romans 7. It reminds of us struggles and failures we would like to forget. It reminds us of things we are ashamed of, weaknesses we wish weren’t true of ourselves. It is precisely the sad and dark reality of Romans 7 that explains the glory and light of Romans 8.

Romans 7:14-25 | A Savior for Wretches

Simple Grace Radio exists to share Christ's glorious grace for a transformed life. We pray that God will powerfully work by connecting the realities of the Good News in Christ to the everyday patterns of our life. We are confident because the Bible says real transformation comes from hearing this Good News, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel [Good News]," Paul writes in Romans 1:16 "for it is the power of God unto salvation." The Gospel shows us how serious the consequences of our sin are: Jesus had to die a painful death on a cross to bear our sin. It's not enough, therefore, to live a basically good and moral life. Everybody needs forgiveness and salvation offered only in Jesus. Come to him to find life, peace and lasting joy.
