Romans has nothing to do with personal salvation

You need to read all of Romans my friend. What say you about this verse if not about Salvation.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

And 2 and 3 and........

 

Actually, the overall theme is sin, salvation, sanctification.

 

Or one could say it is about justification by faith and howto live as one who is justified.

 

Please elaborate, can they be saved then without the gospel preached to them?

 

Ok so first you argue that it is not even in Romans at all, now you are saying it just isn't the main idea. Which is it?

 

Why would Matthew Mark Luke and John write the Gospels to people who were already saved? OF COURSE IT WAS SO THEY KNOW THE GOSPEL.

Your argument is plain ignorant.

 

It seems that no one can read because looking anywhere at the Theme of Romans I keep finding the same thing.



"Paul’s primary theme in Romans is the basic gospel, God’s plan of salvation and righteousness for all humankind, Jew and Gentile alike (see 1:16–17 and notes). Although justification by faith has been suggested by some as the theme, it would seem that a broader theme states the message of the book more adequately. “Righteousness from God” (1:17) includes justification by faith, but it also embraces such related ideas as guilt, sanctification and security."

"Romans is the fort Knox of the Christians faith, written to the center of the Roman civilization, it is the doctrine of the gospel – the problem with mankind and the living hope in Christ. Paul reveals to us that salvation is about grace alone, about faith in what He has done – “the righteous shall live by faith.”

The first 3 chapters show us how all people are condemned in front of God, all have fallen short of the glory of God and are thus abiding in God’s wrath under condemnation. Sin is universal and has effected all men, for death is a backpack which everyone is wearing and we will all have too go through.

Death was the one thing that Christ went through that would relate to everyman, in every culture for all are condemned to death being children of Adam. Christ died for our sin and will impute His righteousness to us, if we desire to “walk by faith” in the Son of God. When Christ imputes righteousness to us we are justified immediately, all sin is forgiven, we are now bought with a price , disciples of Christ who will follow Him where He leads us. The places He leads us are to change us, it’s not about the places He takes us but about the character formed in us. It is not what we do but what we are. This process is known as sanctification and shown in chapters 6-8. Chapter 6 shows the completeness of the work of Christ, that we have died with Him, that we are a new creation. Chapter 7 shows a Christians appropriating this with the law and failing drastically. Chapter 8 is appropriating this with the spirit, the new law of life, the freedom that we have in Christ in the power of the person of the holy spirit."


The global message of Romans is that all people everywhere have free access to the riches of God’s grace in Christ as they respond in faith to the gospel. In his own Son, God has made a way for lost people to be restored to him—lost people whether they are Greeks or barbarians, wise or foolish (Rom. 1:14).

Romans and Redemptive History
The letter to the Romans itself recounts much of global redemptive history. Paul moves from the problem of sin (Romans 1–3) to the solution provided in Christ (chs. 3–8) to how that solution applies in a practical way among God’s people (chs. 9–16).

You never answered, How does he knock on the hearts that die never hearing the gospel?

 

Actually the book served the purpose of showing the truth of justification by faith and how to live in light of that. Yes, Christians need the gospel.
We’ll always need the gospel. Eph 2:7 shows us that the gospel endures forever, as God pours out grace on us forever. Likewise the song of the redeemedin Rev 5 is pure gospel.
There is no Christian life apart from the gospel. That is why Galatians was given: to remind Christians of the truth of the gospel that they might live to God’s glory.
No, Romans is no tract telling folks how to be saved; but it was a letter telling them how they had been saved, and what that meant for them/us from here on.
And, yes, the Romans would learn from the letter how to tell their friends of the gospel. That is part of the church’s commission, and Romans would help with that.

 

That statement looks rather trollish to me
