Why God Inspired Hard Texts - Romans 3:1-8

God has ordained that there are difficult paragraphs in the Bible. The apostle Peter said in his second letter, "Our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him wrote to you, as also in all his letters . . . in which are some things hard to understand." John Piper believes that Romans 3:1-8 is one of the most difficult paragraphs in the whole book of Romans. Why does God inspire such challenging trains of thought? And what are the implications of this for life, culture, history, and worship? This sermon examines both the complexity and simplicity of God — that He is God and he is love — and explains the motives of God in inspiring difficult texts.
