We now start reading Romans, a very deep and theologically rich book of the Bible. *** We love to condemn the sins of others. We might not have committed some of the acts Paul condemns here, but we all have sinned. We have exchanged God’s truth for human foolishness. Seeing sin, we ought not respond defensively but in confession. We know God’s response to sin: He sent His Son to die for sinners. • Lord have mercy on me, a sinner. Grant me sincere confession and compassion for other sinners. Amen.
