About the series
Read Romans as one unfolding gospel argument
Romans is not a collection of disconnected theological statements. Paul develops a sustained argument about the gospel of God, the universal reach of sin, justification by faith, union with Christ, life in the Spirit, God’s faithfulness to His promises, and the shape of a transformed Christian life.
Each study includes the biblical text, section-by-section commentary, theological explanation, questions for reflection, study references, and direct navigation to the surrounding chapters.

Chapter 1
The Gospel Revealed and the Truth Suppressed
Paul announces the gospel, explains the righteousness of God revealed by faith, and exposes humanity’s exchange of the Creator for created things.
Chapter 2
God Judges Without Favoritism
Paul confronts moral comparison, religious privilege, knowledge without obedience, and the need for inward renewal by the Holy Spirit.
Chapter 3
All Have Sinned and Are Justified by Grace
Paul brings the whole world under sin and then reveals justification, redemption, atonement, and the righteousness God provides through faith in Jesus Christ.
Chapter 4
Abraham Believed God
Paul turns to Abraham to show that righteousness is credited through faith, the promise rests on grace, and God’s way of justification did not begin with the Mosaic law.
