Summary for the teacher
Paul wrote a letter to the Christians in Rome explaining the good news. Everyone does wrong and is far from God, but God gave us a free gift: eternal life in Jesus. Those who believe become God’s beloved children, receive the Holy Spirit, and are called to live in love and to share this news with the world.
