Romans: Road to Truth and Salvation
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
The book of Romans was written by the apostle Paul in A.D. 56-57, while Paul was in Corinth. It was probably written during Paul’s third missionary journey right before he was planning to return to Jerusalem. His plans were to go to Rome on his way to Spain, so he writes this letter with those intentions in mind. The letter is addressed to the Christian converts living in Rome and although there was a Christian church in Rome at the time, it had not been officially founded by Paul. Most likely, the church had been started by other missionaries and consisted of both Jewish and Gentile converts.
The message in the book of Romans has awed and astonished people throughout history. Scholars and commentators have marveled at the spiritual depths of the gospel message presented in the letter by Paul. Martin Luther’s world as he knew it changed after he studied the book of Romans. The Protestant Reformation erupted once the teachings on the book of Romans were made available to the public. Lives were changed with a message of hope, justification and righteousness, not of works, but of grace.
One major theme is repeatedly made clear throughout this there is no Christianity without Jesus Christ. He is the Center. He is the answer. He is the One who came to save. To believe in Him and to place our faith in Him are the keys to our freedom from sin and its bondage.
