We wrap up the book of Romans by exploring its purpose, structure, the context in which it was written, and selected highlights. According to Romans 5, God can make us different people: “Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” (Romans 5:1-2).
