Summary: Romans presents God's truth in its three categories--divine establishment, gospel, and doctrine for believers--and demonstrates the effects of God's truth upon mankind. The heart of this letter is the barrier between God and man and the solution to this problem. The gospel of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, is the solution. The gospel  message is that God's righteousness is offered to mankind based on the death and resurrection of Christ; man receives God’s righteousness by faith alone in Christ alone.
