Set free for God (Romans 5:12-8:3)

Karl Heinz Weber
The teachings of the Apostle Paul in Romans 5:12-8:3 are very important for our practical life as Christians. This section of the Epistle to the Romans shows that Christians are freed from the power of sin and the law by God’s grace. This liberation is the basis for believers to live a happy life to the glory of God. This verse-by-verse study is based on lectures that have been carefully revised. This interpretation can be a great help in better understanding the difficult yet fundamental teachings of the Epistle to the Romans and in leading a victorious Christian life.

The Holy Spirit – His nature and working

Ernst-August Bremicker
The presence of the Holy Spirit on earth is one of the significant and characteristic features of the Christian era. Therefore, it is important to have a clear understanding of the person of God’s Spirit and His work. The New Testament shows Him to us as a person of the Godhead who came to this earth and dwells in believers.

The Gospel of Mark

Hamilton Smith
The evangelist Mark presents the Lord Jesus especially as the servant of God. According to His own words, He did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). Every reader who studies the perfect servant will be led to spiritual growth and motivated to faithful service. This commentary provides a good overview of the Gospel of Mark, yet remains thorough in its approach.
Acts 10:38
