According to Godet, revival movements are connected to which book?

• A. Every revival movement is connected to the truths of Romans
• B. Romans is irrelevant to revival
• C. Romans predicts the end times
• D. Romans describes church governance

Answer: (A)

Godet links revival movements to the truths taught in Romans because this epistle presents the gospel in a way that naturally sparks renewal. Romans centers on the power of the gospel to save—through justification by faith—so people are awakened to a right standing with God, new life, and the Spirit’s transforming work within them. This combination of personal conversion, a fresh grasp of righteousness from God by faith, and the Spirit-enabled life is exactly what fuels revival: it renews individuals and, through that, renews the church as a whole.

Romans isn’t about end-times chronology or church governance, and treating it as irrelevant misses the very heart of what Godet sees as driving revival—the gospel’s power to change hearts and energize worship and mission.
