The book of Romans is one of the clearest and most powerful explanations of the Gospel found anywhere in the Bible. It was written by the apostle Paul, a man who once opposed Christianity. He persecuted believers and opposed the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet God saved him by grace, and the very man who once tried to destroy the Gospel became one of its greatest preachers.
That alone is a message of hope. If God could save Saul of Tarsus, He can save anyone.
Paul writes Romans to carefully explain the Gospel message. He shows why salvation is needed, who needs it, how God provides it, and what happens when a sinner trusts in Christ.
Many people have heard the statement, “Christ died for our sins,” but what does that really mean? Why did He have to die? What difference does His death make? How can a guilty sinner be forgiven and accepted by God? And after someone becomes a Christian, how can they battle against sin and temptation?
Romans answers these great questions.
