Romans 7:7-8

A journey from creation to the cross, revealing how God’s love has pursued humanity from the very beginning. Though man fell, God’s heart never changed. His plan of redemption was always in place through Jesus Christ.

What do you think about sin? About salvation? About your life in Christ? In this devotional, Think Like a Roman, we are renewing our minds through the book of Romans. What we believe is essential to the way we live, to our growth, our walk with Christ, and our future in Christ. Our thoughts determine our beliefs, our beliefs determine our actions. Over the next four days, join us as we dive into our understanding of doctrine relating to sin, salvation, and freedom in Christ.

Whether you’ve been a Christian for a few days or a few decades, you have probably asked yourself at some point, “Why does the Christian life seem so hard?” This devotional plan answers that question by digging into the most famous Christian struggle in history—that of the Apostle Paul in Romans 7.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re born again and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to different values about right and wrong, and a different lifestyle to match it. This 5-day plan uses the 10 Commandments (following the classic Augustinian ordering) as a vehicle for an alternative, Christ-like morality and Jesus-way of living.
