Romans 8:32

“He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all…” Pastor Tony delves into Holy Scripture to unfold this astounding statement. For whom did Christ die?

Romans 8:32

Pastor Tony provides the immediate and larger context for understanding Romans 8:32.

Justification is the free gift of God and not something that can be earned.
