    The Gospel According to Paul

    Study Paul's masterpiece letter to the Romans - the fullest explanation of the Gospel, justification by faith, and what it means to live in Christ.

    "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. - Romans 1:16"
    — Bible Study Guide

    Romans is Paul's most systematic presentation of the Gospel. This letter has sparked reformations and transformed lives throughout church history. Luther, Wesley, and Barth all experienced breakthrough moments through studying Romans.

    The letter moves from the universal problem of sin (chapters 1-3) through the solution of justification by faith (3-5), to union with Christ and life in the Spirit (6-8). Paul then addresses God's plan for Israel (9-11) before turning to practical Christian living (12-16).

    In this study, you'll work through Romans section by section, understanding key theological concepts like justification, sanctification, and adoption, and seeing how doctrine leads to transformed living.

    Minor:God provides righteousness through faith in Christ apart from works.
    Conclusion:Justification is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
    2
    Major:Those united to Christ share in His death and resurrection.
    Minor:Believers have been baptized into Christ's death.

    First Principles (Archai)

    The Gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

    Justification is God's declaration that sinners are righteous in Christ.

    Sanctification flows from union with Christ, not self-effort.

    The Spirit empowers what the law could not accomplish.

    Doctrine must lead to doxology and transformed living.
