This is an epistle written by God the Father through Apostle Paul to a church in Rome & in the process of addressing it, he has left us with the greatest gem of all, The Theology of Justification by Faith (1:16) & that's critical as the 1st epistle. It's all about The Gospel, the power of God unto salvation for the Jews & Gentiles. When you receive Jesus, you receive a power over sin in your life, a partner, the Holy Spirit to help you overcome this "grip of sin". That day by day in the process of sanctification you can be more & more like Christ. So we are not "hyper-grace", we are saved from hell to Christ-likeness through the power of sanctification to prepare us for the day of glorification.

May you step back and say the wisdom, mercy, & the love of God-Amazing! He never forgot His people Israel & through Israel the doors were opened for the gentiles like us & one day every race comes together into this great family reunion like never before. May God bless you!
