Summary
Romans is Paul's fullest explanation of the gospel. He shows that all people, Jews and Gentiles alike, have sinned and fall short of God's glory, and that God justifies sinners freely by his grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Paul goes on to describe new life in the Spirit, the assurance that nothing can separate believers from God's love, and God's faithfulness to Israel. The final chapters show how the gospel shapes everyday life: offering ourselves to God, loving one another and living in harmony.

Key Verses
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
