Summary of Romans 15

Romans chapter 15 continues the unfolding story of Romans, written by Paul (c. AD 57). To grasp this chapter, read it slowly in context, watch what it reveals about God, and trace how it connects to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Key takeaway

Romans 15 invites us to know God better and respond in faith. As you read, ask: What does this passage say about who God is, who I am, and what I'm called to do?

How Romans 15 fits the whole book

Paul unfolds the gospel — sin, justification, sanctification, glorification, God's plan for Israel, and life in the body of Christ. Chapter 15 of Romans contributes to this larger story by deepening one or more of the book's themes — for example, god's character and glory and sin, grace, and redemption.
