Empowered for Heaven and Earth

Empowered for Heaven and Earth is an expositional outline of Paul s Epistle to the Romans. The title demonstrates the results of the imputed righteousness of God which results from trusting in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. When God puts his Righteousness in a person, it empowers them to enter heaven and to live victoriously over the world, and it is imputed the moment one repents and believes.
