Part 1 of David Roper’s doctrinal study on Romans provides an in-depth look at Paul’s inspired teachings in Romans 1—7. The text explains that salvation comes by grace, not by personal merit or by law-keeping. Paul’s epistle declares that all are sinners but presents Christ as the remedy for sin and its consequences. The text shows how one who submits to Christ’s transforming gospel can overwhelmingly conquer temptation, sin, and even death. The good news of Romans is that God is ever working in the lives of those who follow the Spirit instead of the flesh.
