This chapter focuses on the unique place Romans holds among Paul’s letters, explaining why it stands as the most complete and systematic presentation of the gospel. Kelly explores the purpose of the epistle, its doctrinal depth, and its role as a foundation for understanding justification, righteousness, and the believer’s standing before God.
In this chapter, you will hear about:
-Why Romans differs from Paul’s other epistles in audience and purpose
-The broad scope of the gospel as presented in Romans
-How Romans lays the groundwork for Christian doctrine rather than addressing local church problems
-The moral and spiritual order of truth found in the letter

The Mount Everest of Scripture and of Time
In “The Cross and Christian Experience,” J. M. Davies brings his study to a deeply practical and devotional conclusion. After exploring the Cross from every doctrinal, prophetic, and cosmic angle, he now turns to its daily impact on the believer’s life—how the Cross is not merely a historical event, but a living, transforming power shaping Christian experience moment by moment.
Davies explains that the Cross marks the beginning of true Christian living. It is at the Cross that the believer finds forgiveness, peace, and acceptance—but also the call to discipleship, self-denial, and fellowship with Christ in suffering. The Cross is both the doorway to life and the pattern for life.

The Mount Everest of Scripture and of Time
Davies traces how Scripture consistently links suffering and glory—from the prophecies of Isaiah’s Servant to Christ’s own words, “Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory?” The Cross is the gateway through which the glory of redemption shines. Without it, there could be no crown; without death, no resurrection; without humility, no exaltation.
He reveals how the glory that follows the Cross is both retrospective and prospective:
Retrospective, as heaven forever honors the Lamb who was slain;
Prospective, as believers will one day share in that same glory, transformed through the power of His sacrifice.
The chapter culminates in awe and worship—the Lamb who once hung on the tree now reigns upon the throne. The Cross, once a symbol of suffering, becomes the centerpiece of everlasting praise.

In “The Cross — Its Accompaniments,” J. M. Davies turns our attention to the powerful events and divine signs that surrounded Calvary—those extraordinary accompaniments that revealed heaven’s response to the death of Christ.
Through these signs, Davies shows that the Cross was no ordinary death. The veil’s tearing proclaimed open access to God; the earthquake signaled judgment and transition; the raised saints bore witness to resurrection power already at work. Nature itself bowed before the Redeemer as creation testified to its Creator’s suffering and triumph.
This chapter leads listeners to see how all heaven and earth were stirred by the Cross—how its accompaniments confirm its significance, its finality, and its glory. The Cross was not silent; the world itself trembled at the weight of redemption accomplished.
