Romans in Reverse: CHRISTOFORMITY

Romans has always been considered challenging theologically. Was that Paul’s intent? Scot McNight, New Testament scholar and author of Reading Romans Backwards says “Romans is about theology, but it isn’t mere theology…the theology of Romans is about a way of life, about lived theology.” As we pursue “loving relationships with God and the people His son Jesus died for” it is vital that we learn to live out our faith in practical ways. We will only do this well as we are transformed to be more like Jesus. Transformed people let go of privilege, power, and preference, putting the needs of their neighbors before their own.
