40 Days with...Romans: A 40 Day Biblical Devotional Journal: Study Reflect Discern Pray

By Chris Barbieri

Would spending 40 days of intentional reflection and journaling on the Epistle to the Romans be beneficial to your spiritual journey? Paul's Epistle to the Romans is a deeply theological book. Using his thorough knowledge of the Mosaic Law as a former Pharisee, Paul outlines a meticulous argument concerning the role of Law and the importance of justification through faith. Paul makes it clear that all have sinned, both Jew and Gentile alike. While the Law helps educate us regarding our sin, only faith and the righteousness of God can save. In Romans, Paul also contrasts life in the Spirit with life in the flesh and reminds us that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Spending 40 days absorbing the Epistle to the Romans is an opportunity for an enriching and rewarding experience in just a few short weeks. Through daily study and reflection, you'll open your heart to the Holy Spirit and listen for how the scriptures are speaking to you each day. This devotional journal is designed to help you strengthen two things: * Your Biblical Literacy - develop your knowledge of this book by immersing yourself in it for a season. * Your Biblical Intimacy- move beyond knowledge and learn how to let Scripture speak to you each day. When these two things are developed and practiced, we allow more room for our relationship with God, allow God to speak to us, and are drawn closer to God. Dedicated, daily time reflecting on Scripture helps you grow in your faith and also helps to keep your daily life in a proper perspective. Patterned on the ancient practice of Lectio Divina, or "praying the scriptures", the scripture is our focus in this devotional journal. It was designed to help you create space for God to speak to you through the scripture of the day. Listen to what God is saying to you through the Epistle to the Romans. Studying scripture in 40-day segments makes our study more manageable and perhaps more importantly, increases our ability to stick with it as a daily practice. If you haven't done this kind of devotional before, I really think you'll be amazed at what this kind of daily practice will do for you. Check out other 40 Days with... volumes too! Make the decision to spend a little time with God's word every day for just five weeks. You'll be glad you did.
