A man has been tried and found guilty. Now under judgment, he is locked up in prison. Would you tell him to come out of his cell, give up his sins, leave the prison, and then—but only then—will he receive a pardon? To say this to him would be cruel mockery. This man's condition is like the sinner's condition before God. To the helpless, guilty sinner the important question is, "How can I be saved and be right before God?" Romans is God's answer to the sinner's question.
How can I, the sinner, be made right with God? How can I have peace with God? This little book on Romans gives God's answers to these most important questions. Former title: On the Epistle to the Romans. An excellent survey of the whole epistle.
Charles Stanley (1821-1890) served the Lord with great energy in the British Isles writing, preaching and traveling.
Charles Frazier Stanley was born September 25, 1932, in the small town of Dry Fork, Virginia. The only child of Charley and Rebecca Stanley, Charles came into the world during a time when the entire nation felt the grip of the Great Depression. To make matters worse, just nine months later, his father Charley died at the young age of 29.
However, Charles refused to let the Great Depression or the difficulties of his life define him. Instead, like his father and grandfather before him, he clung to God’s Word and took up the mantle to preach the gospel to whoever would listen.
Dr. Stanley’s motivation is best represented by the truth found in Acts 20:24, “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love.” This is because, as he says, “It is the Word of God and the work of God that changes people’s lives.”
Dr. Stanley’s teachings can be heard weekly at First Baptist Church Atlanta, daily on “In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley” radio and television broadcasts on more than 2,800 stations around the world, on the Internet at intouch.org, through the In Touch Messenger, and in the monthly, award-winning In Touch magazine.
