Romans 1:8-17 talks about a few important things. First we hear that the faith of the Gentiles were being reported all over the world. Why was it so astonishing that the Gentiles were coming to Christ by faith? Secondly, the Apostle Paul mentions that in the Gospel, a righteousness by faith is revealed. What does it mean to be right with God? How can I be made right with God? Is it by my good deeds? Or is it something else.
