Free Bible Study: Paul’s Epistle to the Romans
The major theme of Romans is that of righteousness received as a gift from God, not achieved by works of the Law (Rom. 1:16 , 17). Salvation comes by grace through faith (Rom. 3:21 –31). Other themes include mankind’s rejection of God’s revelation, death to sin and life in Christ by the Holy Spirit’s power, Christian freedom, God’s sovereignty, God’s plan of salvation as encompassing Gentiles as well as Jews, obedience to Christ involving sacrificial commitment, and practical Christian living.

Actor Dean Martin died on Christmas Day, 1995. His memorial service was held three days later in Los Angeles. During the funeral, actress Shirley Maclaine was on hand to comfort the mourners. She said she talked with Martin just an hour before the service and he told her how happy he was in heaven. Ms. Maclaine sounded like a spokesperson pitching a new feature for long-distance calling. Every person’s eternal destiny is determined by their response to Jesus Christ, not the whimsical speculation of a New Age channeler. False prophets are always hinting that Jesus Christ is not the only way. [USA Today, Dec. 29, 1995, p. 2D]
