Authorship
Themes
A major theme in the Epistle to the Romans is justification through faith alone. Paul describes that every person has sinned
As a result of sin, each person deserves death, but God in his goodnes will bring people eternal life, which Paul argues, is a gift
As a gift, this justification which brings eternal life is through belief or faith, rather than obedience to the law or by doing good works. Paul argues this in Romans 4. Furthermore, this justification is not just for Jews as some believed at the time, but was for everyone - Romans 1:16-17.
Paul explains that this gift of justification is through the forgiveness of sins that Jesus brought about by his death on the cross.
