Romans- Everyman's Bible Commentary Quotes

“To accept God’s free gift of righteousness also means at the same time to accept a new lordship over the life.”
― Alan F. Johnson, Romans

“Luther could say, 'It is not a bad, but a very good sign if the opposite of what we pray for appears to happen. Just as it is not a good sign if our prayers eventuate in the fulfillment of all we ask for. If everything were to go the way I want it, I would end up in that kind of false security which is really an instrument of the divine judgment.”
― Alan F. Johnson, Romans- Everyman's Bible Commentary
