Summary of Romans chapters 1-11
Paul’s message in Romans 1–11 establishes that all humanity stands guilty before God and cannot earn salvation. God offers righteousness as a free gift, received solely through faith in Jesus Christ rather than good works. Guided by the Holy Spirit, believers are freed from the power of sin and granted eternal security in God’s love.

- What will you do?
