"...delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification" (Romans 4:25).I first got arrested by Romans 4:25 when writing my book Raised With Christ (also available in Logos Bible Format).To me, this verse is the pivot on which the whole of the epistle to the Romans turns. Everything so far in the letter has been building to this point, and these words summarise what has gone before.
