Download Romans into an MP3 player and listen to it about 50 times. Think it through ,..through faith in Christ.
OSAS, because there is nothing we can do to earn our salvation, we also can’t do anything to lose it once He gives it.
It is by faith, not by the law that we are saved because it is by His grace, not by debt.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve listened to the New Testament, the gospels several times. For anyone that hasn’t, biblegateway has them available online.
Romans, for me, is best read, it is a letter after all and in a very formal letter style of the time. It’s also somewhat complex in speaking to different audiences that, at the time, were in argument. It focuses on a moment in time in the history of the Church when Judaism and Christianity were both splitting and melding. It requires a great deal of context to understand.
Anyway, for audio alone, I found Matthew the most compelling. You can imagine it being told and re-told as a full story, as was done.
In video format, the best I have seen is Gospel of John:

John has long been my favorite, but seeing it acted was something completely different. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Cvengr, if I may return a recommendation: look at the New Testament without trying to make any one epistle define the whole or create a theology around it.
thanks for your reply...
