  13. Rom 1, 16-17 Power of the gospel

  14. Rom 1,18-4,25 GOD’S WRATH Justification by faith in Christ

  15. GOD’S WRATH Romans 1:20-21 “Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse, for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks.”

  21. “All have sinned and lack God's glory, and all are justified by the free gift of his grace through being set free in Christ Jesus. God appointed him as a sacrifice for reconciliation, through faith, by the shedding of his blood, and so showed his justness” NJB Romans 3:23-25

  22. Justificationand its effectsaccording to Father Cantalamessa

  23. New life “What can separate us from the love of Christ? Hardship? No. In all things we are more than conquerors… I am convinced that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ” (See Rom 8, 35-39) No means or method will ever match the strength, conviction and vitality of the person convinced by and in love with Christ Jaime Bonet Founder Verbum Dei

  25. Romans 12,1-15,13 Demands of upright life in Christ Ethicaldemands

  27. ”For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." But how can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
