    1. The Law and Prophets witness to the gospel by foretelling God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. 2. God's salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, without works, and is offered freely to all people. Paul emphasizes this by repetition to stress it is not based on any human terms or conditions. 3. An understanding of sin is important because it shows our inability to save ourselves and need for God's free gift of salvation through Jesus.
