Romans
Treated in 1082 passages across the library.
Paul's letter to the church at Rome, the fullest statement of the gospel in the New Testament. It shows that all have sinned and that God justifies sinners by faith in Christ, apart from the works of the law. It goes on to life in the Spirit, the assurance that nothing can separate us from the love of God, God's purposes for Israel, and the practical life of a living sacrifice.
