In Romans, Paul stresses the “righteousness of God” revealed in the gospel. It is the “power of God for salvation to everyone who believes,” and a “righteousness” that is being proclaimed throughout the earth to “Jews and Greeks” alike.

Just as sinners await the future judgment of God, so believers wait to receive their full salvation at the resurrection – Romans 1:16-23.

In Romans, Paul introduced the “gospel” that he was proclaiming to the Christians residing in the city of Rome. This “glad message” was promised centuries earlier in the Hebrew scriptures, a message concerning the Messiah, the Son of God, which has now been revealed to all the nations in Jesus Christ – both to “Jew and Greek.”
