The Keynote of Romans

Romans 1:16–17 establishes the theme and thesis of the book of Romans. The rest of the letter is essentially an exposition of this passage. In fact, it's not an exaggeration to say that these two verses are the essence of true, authentic Christianity—they are the heart of the biblical gospel. Simply put, what Paul explains is that the gospel is the power of God and it produces salvation in the hearts of everyone who believes.
