Romans: Guilty Without Grace
September 12, 2025

During Paul’s time, the Jews sometimes acted as if they had a monopoly on the spiritual market. In fact, the first church council recorded in Acts 15 discussed whether the Gentiles should be accepted into the church and if circumcision was necessary for them.

Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone, is the path of salvation for everyone, Jew and Gentile alike.

This letter was written and delivered in AD 58.
