Romans Intro (Part 2)
RomansSteve Gregg
This text provides an overview of the book of Romans, which was written to the church in Rome by Paul around 55-57 BC. Paul uses a variety of metaphors, such as marriage, family, and employment, to illustrate the themes of righteousness and the fulfillment of God's covenant with his people. The book emphasizes that salvation cannot be earned, but is a free gift of God's grace. Through his death and resurrection, believers are now in a covenant relationship with Christ, and bear fruit through him, not through legalistic obedience.
