Romans 1—The Power of the Gospel

Paul opens by introducing himself and declaring that the gospel is God’s power for salvation. He then explains why salvation is needed, showing that both Jews and Gentiles stand guilty before a holy God. This prepares the way for the good news: the righteousness we could never earn is freely given through faith in Jesus Christ.
