This book is for anyone desiring to be set free from the power of sin, to live a life of freedom in Christ. In it, you will learn of man's fallen nature and his alienation from God because of sin, God's solution to man's sin problem, and the fellowship that fallen man now enjoys because of Christ's sacrifice on the cross for us. This verse-by-verse explanation of the book of Romans will reveal why all people everywhere are without excuse and stand condemned as sinners before a holy God. Without the free gift of Christ's righteousness applied to their account, they would surely perish. This righteousness is received not by keeping the law or by doing good deeds, but by faith in Christ's finished work on the cross for us. It is only after receiving God's free gift of righteousness that sinful man can stand before holy God as justified, freeing him from the guilt and shame of his sin and placing him in a state of grace, giving him a new position with God and a new identity as a child of God, a redeemed saint who has the promise of heaven as his home. Throughout this commentary, controversial questions will also be answered such as: What about the person who has never heard of Christ and His cross? Can that person be saved? Be prepared to be enlightened to the truth that will set you free.
