After reading the Gospel of John...
Once you've come to know who Jesus is, Romans helps answer the next question:
"What does His life, death, and resurrection mean for me?"
Written by the apostle Paul, Romans is one of the clearest explanations of the gospel in all of Scripture. It reveals humanity's need for salvation, God's grace through Jesus Christ, and how believers are called to live by faith.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes..."
Romans 1:16 (NIV)

📚 A Simple Reading Plan
Take your time.
Read one chapter each day.
Romans has 16 chapters, making this about a 2½-week journey through one of the richest books in the Bible.
As you read, ask yourself three questions:
- What does this chapter teach me about God's grace?
- What does this chapter teach me about living by faith?
- How should this change the way I live today?
Keep a notebook nearby and write down verses that speak to your heart. Romans is deep—don't feel rushed. Read slowly, pray often, and let Scripture interpret Scripture.
