God has given us the capacity and call to exercise wisdom and discernment. And although we can obtain information through AI, we cannot obtain wisdom through AI. AI even threatens our capacity and responsibility to think critically and to think deeply. Instead, wisdom is meant to be obtained through life experiences and observations. We are also meant to obtain wisdom through a shared community - to gain wisdom from one another...

There is understandably a lot of fear and uncertainty regarding AI, which can produce a sense of existential hopelessness regarding humanity's future. But as people made in God's image, we need hope to survive. Thankfully, in Christ, we have a living hope that is rooted in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that points ahead to our everlasting inheritance, and that is secured by God’s power here and now. As such, we can faithf...

Ironically, although AI promises a life of leisure by eliminating hard work, very often the exact opposite takes place. As AI prioritizes endless productivity and hyper-efficiency, AI often promotes a life of hurry. But an overly busy life can be one of the great challenges to following Jesus as humans made in God's image. An important antidote to a life of hurry is to play. Play is the free and fun enjoyment of God’s good cr...

With the fall, work became cursed along with humanity. And so humanity has toiled and struggled. Yet, AI promises a utopic vision of eliminating scarcity and minimizing the "hard" in hard work. It assumes a negative view of work itself and ignores the core needs of worth, dignity, and purpose. But because of the Imago Dei, we are created for work. There is true dignity, purpose, and worth in all work. And work becomes more th...

As people made in the image of God, we are made for interdependent relationships in community. The challenge that AI can pose is that it promises relational intimacy without relational inconvenience. But if we are to thrive as image bearers of God, then we need to intentionally build relationships in community through commitment, hospitality, vulnerability, and reconciliation.

AI offers a vision of user-centered utopia through technology, which can challenge our worship of God. But being made in God's image, humans are made to worship God. True worship is enjoying our full salvation and our deepest satisfaction in Jesus, which in turn shapes us to become more like Jesus. In the age of AI, we should prioritize gathering together as God's people to worship God.

The image of God refers to humanity’s unique identity as God’s representatives to the rest of creation. The image of God implies that every human being has inherent dignity, that our physical embodiment is important, that we are created for dependent relationship with God and others, and that we are to live in accordance with God's character. In light of those implications, we should approach AI as a tool that develops ...

After presenting his thorough and rich teachings on sin, faith, God's sovereignty, and Israel, Paul brings this theological portion of his epistle to a close with a doxology that summarizes his thoughts. Paul concludes that God's wisdom is unfathomable. God's ways are unfathomable. And God's grace is unfathomable. All things are from him so we thank him. All things are done through him so we rely on him. And all things are to...

Although Israel has largely rejected God, Paul argues that God has not rejected Israel. Rather, God has a plan of salvation for Israel, which involves preserving a faithful remnant in Israel, using Israel's rejection to bring the gospel to all nations, and securing the fullness of salvation for Israel in due time. Seeing that should encourage us because God is always at work, often in mysterious ways, to carry out His plan of salva...

Paul continues to address the "problem of Israel" and he deals with one final objection: What if Israel didn't believe the gospel because they never had the chance to hear the gospel? To that objection, Paul shows that Israel had ample opportunities to hear the gospel. As such, when it comes to evangelism, we need to share the gospel with beautiful feet (sacrificial initiative), open mouths (clear explanations), and outstretched ha...

Previously, Paul addressed the divine sovereignty side of the "problem of Israel" rejecting the gospel. Now, Paul addresses the human responsibility side. Humans have a real role to play when it comes to salvation. Our responsibility is to put our faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. This means surrendering and entrusting our lives to Jesus with both an inward conviction as well as an outward expression of belief. And as the resp...

After providing divine assurances, Paul reaffirms God's sovereignty in salvation by addressing the unbelief of Israel. God is sovereign in salvation because salvation rests upon His election of His people by His saving grace. Paul, anticipating objections, also addresses common questions regarding God's sovereignty in salvation. God is justified in His election because God graciously bestows mercy upon the undeserving. God is fair ...

Whether due to fearful uncertainty regarding the future or the haunting regret of past failures or the overwhelming difficulty of present circumstances, we can find ourselves in a place of doubt, confusion, and uncertainty in following after Jesus. In light of that, the Apostle Paul points us to divine assurance. We have unshakable assurance in Christ because God’s sovereign grace secures our glory, God’s completed work...

While we have been set free in Christ, one of the ongoing challenges we face with life in a fallen world is suffering. We find ourselves groaning under the weight of sin and death while waiting for our redemption. But even in our groaning, we can wait with patience because the Holy Spirit groans for us and with us. His intercession and presence encourage us to wait with hope.

Christians can live out their freedom in Christ, which is a freedom from sin and freedom for obedience, through the Holy Spirit. Here, Paul highlights three things the Holy Spirit does to help us live in that freedom. The Holy Spirit applies the work of Christ to our lives. The Holy Spirit empowers us to fight off the influence of the flesh. The Holy Spirit testifies to our true identity as children of God. Instead of living in the...

Paul explains that although we are free from the law, the law is not meaningless nor evil. For it is through the law that we know the exceeding sinfulness of sin. Furthermore, it reveals the utter weakness of our flesh to keep the law and to fulfill our desire to be good. We want to do good, but we don't. We want to avoid evil, but we fall into it again and again. There is a battle that rages within us that traps many in a vic...

After explaining how we have been set free from sin through our union with Christ, Paul now explains that our freedom from sin leads to our freedom for obedience to God. True obedience to God is willing submission, is in alignment with God's Word, is carried out in all of life, and transforms us to become more like Jesus. While this may seem like a paradox, true freedom is found in obedience to God and leads to the kind of life tha...

Paul anticipates that there will be those who seek to take advantage of God's grace by continuing in their sin. But he adamantly states that Christians should not continue in sin because they have been set free from the power of sin through their union with Christ in his death and resurrection. As such, their old life is dead and they have been given a brand new life. From that foundational union with Christ, Christians must now fi...

As Paul has unpacked the blessings that come with justification by faith, he highlights just how great a blessing justification is by presenting a "before" and "after" contrast between where we used to be and where we are now. Before in Adam, we belonged to a fallen humanity condemned to death. But now in Christ, we belong to a redeemed humanity justified for life. Jesus is the "greater Adam", whose exclusive and exhaustive work pa...
