Timothy Keller takes us to the heart of the gospel in one of the most-read parts of Scripture. With clarity and insight, he helps small groups to be excited by the gift of God in sending his Son to make sinners right with him.
We want to be right in the eyes of the law of our land, of those we respect, of our loved ones, of those we work with. We strive to gain and then keep this right standing.
But there is another, far better and more important righteousness. A righteousness which changes and liberates every aspect of our lives, and yet which none of us can earn or maintain ourselves.
Its a righteousness from God.
Romans 17 is all about that righteousness. It shows us why we dont have it, why we need it, and how we can receive it. It thrills us that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6 v 23).
This seven-study guide will help groups and individuals to see how wonderful the gift of righteousness is, and inspire them to enjoy it in every part of their lives.
