FLEX: Romans (Part 1)

The first eight chapters of Paul's letter to the Christians in Rome form the doctrinal basis for all who want to be righteous before God. This is, by far, the Bible's most detailed description of the salvation process, which has been secured for us by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Paul explains great biblical themes such as sin, justification, baptism, peace, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Lamar Bowman lays out complicated doctrine in an easily understandable way for every Christian. His writing style helps us appreciate all that has been done to secure our salvation.
