Saved by grace

The Book of Romans, written by the Apostle Paul, is a letter talking about the nature of salvation, grace, and faith. It presents the core message of the gospel—justification by faith alone, apart from works of the law, and the righteousness of God revealed through Jesus Christ. Paul lays out for us our need for salvation, as all have sinned, and emphasizes that both Jews and Gentiles are equally offered redemption through Christ. He also explores the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, the new life believers receive in Christ, and the call to live in harmony and love, even amid differences. Romans is a foundational text, guiding believers in understanding their identity in Christ and the implications of God's grace in daily living.
