Back in 2005 I heard Terry Virgo speak at
Forum on God's grace explained in the book of Romans. While I'm sure I'd heard something on Romans before that, and had certainly read it, I was blown away afresh by the liberating truth that Jesus has done it all. I can live here on earth as a conqueror, no, more than a conqueror, because my sin and guilt has all been heaped onto Jesus in my place!
Jesus is wonderful, he's amazing. He's my rescuer, he's my saviour, he's taken a whopping great sledgehammer and shattered the chains of sin that tied me down. I can't think of a better place that explains how utterly and fully Jesus has brought me from a hollow existence of death to a glorious full new life than Romans.
I came across similar talks by Terry Virgo today on Grace, and would massively recommend them. They're only 15 minutes or so each, but it's brilliant stuff because it's so focused on Jesus.
Listen here.
