Romans Overview (Part 2)

Bible Book Overviews
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg

In this comprehensive overview of the second part of the book of Romans, Steve Gregg highlights some key themes and messages that are emphasized by Paul. The idea of faith is particularly significant throughout the book, as it involves both trust and faithfulness to God. While both Gentiles and Jews are sinners in need of justification through obedience to God's law, justification by faith is not the result of one's own works but trust in God's faithfulness. The righteousness of God is demonstrated through the sacrifice of Christ, and both Jews and Gentiles can be justified through faith in Jesus.
