Romans, Martin Luther wrote ’the most important piece in the New Testament. It is purest gospel.’1 It is actually the best piece in the entire of the Bible since the center of scripture is the redemption of man through faith in Christ by grace of God; the understanding of it which Romans presents. Faith is faith when the heart is changed from the heart of stone to a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26) as summed in 2 Corinthians 5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Faith kills sin, presenting man as a true bride of Christ , the bridegroom without stain filled with the Holy Ghost; a requirement of the spiritual law of God. Through faith in Christ, man is granted justification, righteousness and sanctification of God to be used of Him being filled with the Holy Spirit. In faith, there is no work demands, faith does it willingly before it is demanded being the work of God in us. Yes, we are all justified through faith in Christ by the grace of God (Romans 3:24); that is our gospel! Therefore there are 10 words which can be used to describe Romans: Sin, faith, salvation, righteousness, justification, grace, law, Spirit, Israel and love. The understanding of these words as the ABC of Christian education as presented in Romans is a must to understand Christianity and also to understand the whole of scripture. Romans is the basic foundation of Church Christian teaching and if a person is wrong in understanding this epistle, that person will be wrong elsewhere and the entire bible. Paul wrote the letter to the Romans in AD 58-60 from Corinth and sent to Rome by Phebe (Romans 16:1).
