Romans Overview (Part 1)
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
This overview provides insight into the book of Romans, a crucial text in the New Testament. Written by Paul to the church in Rome, the book addresses tensions between Jewish and Gentile members of the church, focusing on the need for salvation and the remedy found in faith in Christ. Paul emphasizes that following Jewish law and rituals does not make one deserving of salvation, and his argument is centered on the point that both Jews and Gentiles must be justified through faith in Jesus Christ, rather than their works or adherence to specific laws and practices.
