Heavenly Father, thank You for the ministry of the apostle Paul, the magnificent treatise of Romans, and the clear exposition of every aspect of our great salvation. Thank You that salvation is not by works of the Law, nor is it dependent on race, parentage, nationality, education, or anything else, but by faith in Christ Jesus, Israel’s Messiah and God’s only begotten Son Who died on the Cross to pay the penalty for our sin and rose victorious from the grave so that we too may rise to life immortal. Thank You for Paul’s heart of compassion for his own race, the lost people of Israel. Help me also to have a heart of compassion for the lost and give me opportunities to share the good news of the gospel with others. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
