Before You Begin

The book of Romans is often called the "Constitution of Christianity." It is a theological masterpiece that lays the groundwork for understanding the Gospel. As you begin, pray for clarity and a deeper comprehension of God's redemptive plan.

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, 'The righteous shall live by faith.'" - Romans 1:16-17
