What a treat to discuss this week’s lesson titled by NT Wright God’s Determined Faithfulness together. Sometimes this great letter from Paul to the Romans can be a challenge to digest since the arguments which he skillfully lays out can seem a bit heady and a challenge to understand. This week Paul dives into Old Testament Law, humanity’s bent toward performance, and our nature to control. But Paul introduces a radical concept – one that brought F R E E D O M and the intimacy of relationship with God over religion into his life – G R A C E. Paul explains circumcision of the heart a concept stemming from Old Testament times as it relates to grace.
