It is the sixth book of the [[New Testament]]. The letter gives an overview of the [[Christian]] faith. In it Paul teaches us that a believer is saved because of his faith in [[Jesus Christ]] and not through any [[good works]] that he does. ===Authorship=== ===Themes=== A major theme in the Epistle to the Romans is justification through faith alone. Paul describes that every person has sinned: ''{{Bible verse|romans|3|23|lang=WEB}}'' ([[Romans 3:23]])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: ''{{Bible verse|romans|6|23|lang=WEB}}'' ([[Romans 6:23]])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.: ''{{Bible verse|romans|1|16|lang=WEB}}'': ''{{Bible verse|romans|1|17|lang=WEB}}''Paul explains that this gift of justification is through the forgiveness of sins that Jesus brought about by his death on the cross.: ''{{Bible verse|romans|4|25|lang=WEB}}'' ([[Romans 4:25]]) ==Quotes== ==Links== {{returnto}} [[Christianity]] -> [[Bible]] -> [[New Testament]] -> [[Epistles]] -> [[Pauline Epistles]] [[Category:Books of the New Testament]][[Category:Epistles]]
