About this ebook

John 3:16 says that because God loved us, He gave His only begotten Son so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. This verse indicates that God saves us because He loves us. Furthermore, in Ephesians 2:5 and 8 we are told that we are saved by grace. The book of Romans, however, reveals that we are saved by righteousness. In this booklet, compiled from the Life-study of Romans, Witness Lee explains why righteousness is the power of the gospel and why righteousness is necessary in order for God to produce many sons through the gospel.

Ratings and reviews

This booklet helped me and many of my fellow believers to go beyond the basic understanding of the book of Romans. Beyond only justification by faith, especially in the light of the righteousness of God being more solid than His love alone. What a Savior we have!

The idea that God is obligated to forgive us runs counter to the concept of God's grace.

Praise the Lord I'm done now reading this .May this ministry books becomes my daily life habbit by reading them Hallelujah
