Romans 4:13-18

This podcast is a production of the Ephesus School Network: ephesusschool.org

Join me as I explore the book of Romans in a simple but insightful manner. While each episode is short and easy to digest, I recommend setting aside time with the biblical text in front of you and no other distractions. The text is available for you to read along with me below. More resources can be found at maryreadsscripture.com. Please like, share, and subscribe!

13For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect, 15because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression. 16Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all  17(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed” - God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;  18who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.”
