The book of Romans contains a wealth of doctrine for the believer’s everyday life. But it can be confusing and hard to accept. In light of that, I’ve created this workbook to walk you through the book and its teachings in one month.
Mind you, this workbook is not exhaustive. The Word of God is living and active, which is why you will find new things everytime you turn to a familiar passage. But this guide will give you the background for context, explain literary features in the writing, and offer some big picture and specific lessons from the book.
Why Romans? Because it’s more than just a book; it’s a guide to living a faithful life.
