The great subject of the epistle to the Romans is the gospel from the particular point of view of God's righteousness revealed in it (Rom. 1:16-17). Yet the opening verses declare that the subject of it is the SON (v. 3); and in Him, and His redeeming work, the love, righteousness, and glory of God are inseparable (Rom. 3:21; Rom. 5:2, 5). God's glory is our "hope", as soon as justification is known, and sonship in its final character and manifestation in glory is largely developed in Romans 8, as well as that personal witness of the Holy Spirit "with our spirit" which makes it effectual in every believer's soul. The end and aim of it is the glory of the SON, that he may be "the firstborn among many brethren" (v. 29).
