The entire world is declared guilty before God and accountable to Him.
After introductory comments, the apostle Paul begins this epistle by explaining how the Gospel is essential for all people to hear so as to be saved from the condemnation their guilt deserves.
God's righteousness is revealed in his condemnation of sinful man. He shows that everyone is guilty and suppressing the revelation they have of God through creation. People naturally live in the realm of futile speculations conjured up by their depraved mind.
The revelation includes the bad news of personal guilt before a holy God and the coming judgment by God the Son. The good news is God's offer of forgiveness, perfect righteousness and eternal life through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ.
There being only one God means there is only one way of salvation. The believer is absolved of all guilt before the One True God resulting in there being peace between God and the believer. God also provides to the believer His peace for living through the various circumstances of this present life.
The next movement in the letter explains how those who have been justified should live. Those who have been justified are not under obligation to the Mosaic Law, but rather are to live in submission to the indwelling Holy Spirit of God who is transforming them into the likeness of Christ.
