In other words, God has a great desire to save people from sin and death and judgment. And so he acts in history to provide a gospel; good news, which if anyone will put their trust in it, they will be saved. Paul explains later, in Romans 3:24-26, what God has done in history, namely, he sent his own Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to live a perfectly righteous life and to die in the place of sinners so that all who trust him could be forgiven for their sins and have the gift of his righteousness and be freed from the fear of death and judgment.
