Romans

Paul sat down and wrote a letter to the believers in Rome. He called himself a servant, set apart for God's good news. This good news was about God's Son, Jesus — born from David's family, raised from the dead. Through Jesus, people from every nation could now trust and follow God.

Paul thanked God for the Roman believers. People all over the world talked about their faith! He prayed for them again and again. He wanted to see their faces. He wanted to share his strength with them, and he wanted them to make him stronger too. He felt he owed this good news to everyone.

Paul was not ashamed of this good news. Not at all! It was God's own power to save everyone who trusted. Jews heard it first, then Greeks. In this message, God showed how he makes people right with him. From start to end, it all happens through faith.
