Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Romans 5:17

Jesus promised his followers that they never had to walk in fear because He overcame the worst this world could bring against them.

The word “Gospel” literally means, “Nearly too good to be true good news.” The Gospel is not just the message we need to know for our salvation. It is the life-saving, life-giving, and life-transforming message of our Almighty, Triune God! To study it, to know it, and to be able to articulate the Word of God is not so much our responsibility as it is our privilege!

Jesus Christ is greater than all. By Him all things were created, and in Him all things hold together. Moreover, in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, and He forgives us all our trespasses, reconciling to God all things, whether on earth or in heaven. If we are united with Jesus, there’s nothing more to long for. He really is all in all!

Join Matt Chandler for 12 days answering this question as we walk through a historic creed of the Christian faith.

“Sin” is a key concept in the Bible. Sin is rebellion against God, be it in words, deeds, or desires.

In the Your True Reflection Plan, author Don Ankenbrandt equips readers with 12 biblical principles about their true identity and purpose in God.

Christmas is a time of vision, a time to consider the landscape of human life, what it means, and why it’s valuable. The mental image of Christmas is the Nativity, the crude circumstances that surrounded the moment when God reinforced the dignity of Humanity by clothing Himself as a human. But He did not stop there. Christmas brings into focus the only two sacred things in this world—God and People. Christmas is about Life. The Author of Life. Your Life. My Life. And the Life of the world. This 12-day Plan celebrates Life.

The #Gospel Bible plan breaks down Paul's explanation of the Gospel in his letter to the Romans in a way that is accessible and engaging. Much like the book it originates from, this plan is designed to use current culture and compelling narrative to draw us into a thoughtful conversation about what the Gospel really is, and how it radically alters our everyday lives.

 Jesus invited Peter to join Him and walk on the water. He invites you to participate in the supernatural life too, but what barriers (in your head or heart) prevent you from leaving the boat? Drawing on their own stories, especially Becky’s powerful testimony of restoration after tragedy, Paul and Becky show how God faithfully heals, transforms and releases us to step into things we never believed possible.

Jesus is the Lord of your life, with his unlimited offer of salvation, connection and joy.  He is the Creator of all things and the Redeemer of the world.

This reading plan offers you the opportunity to meditate about who Jesus really is, and how you can strengthen your connection to him.

Unlimited Destiny will reveal to you two kingdoms, one heavenly and the other earthly. You either dwell in one or the other. You will see that Jesus has invited you into the Kingdom of Heaven and He has bought your entry with His own blood. He has overcome the world, the earthly kingdom, and with Him on your side, you will also overcome the world.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ is a book about what will happen in the future; but perhaps more importantly, it’s a book about who controls the future. More than sixty years after Jesus rose from the dead, He appears once again to His disciple John to tell him about the things to come. John sees Jesus in a whole new way: He is now risen, glorified, and clearly in charge of the universe. Jesus is Lord of everyone, everywhere, forever. The question for you and me is whether we will trust Him with our lives, believing that He holds both the present and the future in His all-powerful and loving hands.

In this Plan, we are going to grow closer to Jesus by exploring what it looks like to internalize truth. We’ll let God’s Word transform us from the inside out, because there’s no better place to start than with the core of who we are.

May you find the stability and peace you seek in knowing and trusting the God who loves you deeply and has a perfect plan for your life.

It happens to us all. Conflicting messages cloud our vision. Pain and suffering wear our faith thin. Whether you've been following Him for a few days or a few years, we understand how easy it is to lose sight of who God truly is. Join us on a 15-day journey into the character of God. Be reminded how glorious He is, and how much He cares for you.

In this 16-day plan, you will study the first five chapters of Romans in an applicable, practical way that makes complicated theology accessible for everybody, whether you’re just curious about the Bible, a new believer, or a long-time follower of Jesus. We know God will speak to you through it.

Considered one of the most theologically rich books of the New Testament, Romans is a treatise on the theology of salvation. Beginning with the hopelessness of our sin-filled state, Paul shows how God provides righteousness to His people through Jesus Christ. In Romans, we are reminded that justification does not come from status or moral achievement but from belief in the substitutionary death and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Designed for students, this reading plan journeys through the book of Romans in 16 days with the focus on the Gospel and the life of a Jesus follower. We will read through one chapter each day and then spend some time reflecting on what we read and finding meaning and truth for us today. Let's discover the richness of the Good News together!

Sometimes we face difficult, seemingly hopeless situations. How can we deal with them? Take an example from Nehemiah, who changed his people's situation for the better through prayer and work. Both were necessary, and they still are!

Through reflection, and prayer, we invite you to move past the weight of human effort and rest in the grace of your right standing with God.
