Author
Paul
Time 58 to 60 A.D.
Summary
Paul was instructed by the Lord Jesus Christ to be a minister
to the Gentile people. He begins the letter by showing how
all men are sinners in the eyes of God and therefore worthy
of death. However, Paul explains that Jesus Christ was the
"last Adam" in whom no sin was found, and is able
to provide an acceptable covering for mens sin if they agree
that God is always right, accepting all that Jesus said and
follow after him in their own lives. With this in mind, Paul
explains the distinction between the Jews and the Gentiles
and the final outcome of all things when the Lord Jesus returns
to the earth to establish the Kingdom of God.
Christ
The power of God to us
Key
Verse "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ;
for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes,
for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.. For in it the
righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it
is written, "The just shall live by faith". Romans
