Bible Study of Romans
Romans 1:16-17 is considered the main theme of Roans by most Christian Bible Scholars. This states that salvation is offered through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul explains that all humanity is guilty and accountable to God for their sin and that it is only through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that they can attain salvation.Therefore, Jesus is both just and the one who justifies. In response to God's free offer salvation, mankind can be justified by faith. Paul uses the testimony Abraham and David to demonstrate that it is by faith not works that mankind can be seen as righteous before God.
Paul reveals most of the basic Christian doctrines in a progressive way to the reader. He starts with God's plan before the world was created, moves through the promise through the prophets onto the revelation in Christ Himself.
