Lesson Overview

This lesson surveys Paul’s most complete explanation of salvation. You will study the background of the church at Rome and gain insight into why they received such a thorough explanation of the gospel. A survey of its content will address justification, sanctification, God’s justice, and Christian living.

Lesson Objectives

When you complete this lesson, you should be able to:

  • Explain when and why Romans was written.
  • Discuss the major themes of Christian doctrine as they are presented in Romans.
  • Explain how God can justifiably require Jews, who had a God-given religion, to now accept Christ.
  • Gain greater respect for and confidence in your salvation in Christ.

Personal Reflection

As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
Based on your study of the book of Romans, how would summarize the Gospel of Jesus Christ to someone who had never heard it before?
