Romans is Paul's greatest letter. In the first few chapters he argues that we are saved by grace through faith. This raises the question of does it then matter if we sin. This is a question still posed by many people, who think that Christianity effectively says that it does not matter if we sin for God will simply forgive us. Nothing could be further from the truth as chapters 6-8 emphatically show.
The gospel is not an excuse to sin. When we come to belive on Christ we die to sin. We belived in Christ and were baptised so that we could live a new life. The gospel is not about "being let off", but of getting and living a new life.
