How are we made right with God? In a word, justification. We have been justified through faith by the works of Christ Jesus. This is the main truth in Romans 1–4.
Now, having been justified, how are we being restored and renewed in our relationship with God? How does the work of Christ Jesus renew our nature? How are we able to overcome temptation and sin? And how are we being renewed by the Holy Spirit? For the answer, we embark on our journey through Romans 5–8.
