Romans

While the Gospels contain the facts about Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, Romans explains their significance.



Romans revolves around these points:

All people have sinned

Salvation of the spirit (justification) comes through faith in Christ

The natural outcome of saving faith is a life given to God (sanctification)

Romans 1:16-17, 3:21-25, 6:20-23



Sanctification is important for ourselves and for us to obey God, but it also makes a big difference to the people we encounter.

The following passages outline how to be involved in the sanctification of our lives after putting our faith in Christ:

How to relate to God 12:1-2

How to relate to others in the Church 12:3-21

How to relate to authorities 13:1-7

How to relate to those on the outside of the Church 13:8-14
