But Romans is not only about being sinners and judgment; it also speaks to salvation, our hope and future, and right conduct.
Romans 5 - Jesus loved us when we were unlovable and provided Himself to be our sacrifice
Romans 6 - What happens to us on the day of salvation
Romans 7 - Our helplessness in the flesh
Romans 8 - You choose to pursue the Spirit or the flesh, knowing that the two are incompatible and enmity. |
But how do we reconcile that all are sinners with us being judged by our works according to the passage I cited? Was Pauls point to show that all are damned on their own?
