Romans: God's Salvation Plan and Us
The book of Romans is packed with rich theology. In it, the apostle Paul addresses important questions like, “Why do we need the gospel?” and “How is the gospel relevant to my life?” Paul was deeply passionate about sharing the gospel and eager to communicate the meaning of the good news of Jesus Christ for new believers. In his letter to the church in Rome, now called the Book of Romans, Paul communicates everything he can about salvation and its implications for believers. Join us for this Groundwork series on the book of Romans. We’ll unpack the book’s major themes and main points, and examine Paul’s teachings about our sin, salvation, and response to salvation. Together we’ll discuss the implications of salvation for our Christian living today.
