The Book of Romans

When you think of Romans, think of the Apostle Paul teaching Christians in Rome about Justification.

Key Verse: “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.” – Romans 10:12

Romans is the “Book of Justification for All Who Believe.” The Apostle Paul wrote to “all that be in Rome” which included Jews and Gentiles (1:7). He taught that all people have sinned, all have broken God’s law, all must stand before God’s judgment, and that all come short of God’s demands (3:23; 14:10). Also, Paul taught that no person (Jew or Gentile) can save himself by deeds (works) of the law (3:28).

Being sorry for sin and feeling guilty is not enough to justify you. That’s the bad news! The good news is that God made a way for free justification (salvation) for all who repent and believe (10:9-13). “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (5:1). Jesus is our justifier. God gave his only son, Jesus, to be our Savior (5:6-8). Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and rose from the dead. By doing that, Jesus took God’s punishment for our sin (14:9). No one needs to pay for his own sin. All can repent and believe. All can receive free justification (3:24; 5:1).

Application:

All people need to be justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is God’s Only Son, the World’s Savior.
