Thus begins a long journey, a marathon not a sprint, of verse by verse preaching through the letter of Paul to the Church at Rome...In this introduction, Paul mentions some of the themes that he will soon delve deeply into: (1) that the Gospel is for all people, (2) That it requires obedience to the law of God (righteousness), (3) that such obedience is made possible by faith, (4) that the Gospel will glorify God, and finally that (5) those who become the people of God will have been 'called' by God.
The book of Romans is an intellectual and spiritual challenge, but also one that greatly rewards the effort.
