Romans

The Epistle of the Romans was written from Corinth during the Apostle Paul's third visit to that city. It is rightly placed first among the Epistles because it is the most complete exposition in the N.T. of the central truths of Christianity. The Epistle had its occasion in the intention of Paul to visit the Roman Christians and his desire to communicate to them the great doctrines of grace that had been revealed to him. The theme of the Epistle is "the gospel of God." This is the widest possible designation of the whole body of redemption truth. It relates to the whole world because there is "no favoritism" with him who is " the God of the Jews" and " of Gentiles too." Accordingly all humanity is found guilty and a justification is revealed sufficient for man's need and received through faith alone. Romans states the divine provision of God's grace whereby He is able to declare sinners as righteous through the atoning work of His righteous Son. It goes on to set forth the nature of the new life which all justified persons may enjoy through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Following this the Epistle reveals God's sovereign wisdom and grace in working out His purpose through the unfaithfulness of Israel. It closes by laying upon all Christians the obligation of recipients of "God's mercies" to live lives of consecrated service. The key expression of the book is "a righteousness from God."
