Paul's epistle to the Romans is the most profound and concentrated explanation of the truths of the Christian faith ever provided to the people of God. This book provides the student of God's Word exegetical commentary in the form of annotated outlines that are both expositional and practical as interpretation and application are carefully provided. Whether one is interested in devotional material for personal, spiritual growth or in material to help produce messages to help others grow spiritually, these outlines will provide great resource and insight into the Scriptures. Paul's essential message is that no amount of self-righteousness will ever qualify a person for God's favor. He provides the theme of the letter to the Romans when he declares: "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 to faith; as it is written, 'But the righteous man shall live by faith.''' (Romans 1:16-17). This profound truth has served as the basis for revivals and reformations. It is enough to quicken the soul lost in traditions, legalism, and externals and establish it completely on the work of Christ.
