Romans: To the Only Wise God Be Glory
Image

Paul’s three missionary journeys and over 10,000 miles of travel took him to important cities in the Roman Empire—Jerusalem, Antioch, Athens, Corinth, and Ephesus, among others. In these cities, he met many Christians whose business and travels brought them to Rome—the heart of the empire. Although Paul had not visited Rome before writing his letter to the church there, he knew people living in Rome and mentioned many of them as he concluded his letter. Twenty-six individuals are named, along with references to several others. I’ll let you read through the full list on your own. Let me highlight a few people. 

Romans: Set Apart

Paul wrote his letter to Christians in Rome around AD 57/58 during his third missionary journey. He was staying in Corinth at that time. Nero was the emperor of the Roman Empire and would launch a major persecution against Christians in AD 64. Paul and Peter were among those Nero sentenced to death. 

Romans: One Voice. One Hope.

In Paul’s final section of Romans, he becomes more personal and practical. Paul has taken us on a theological journey starting with the power of the gospel (the “news of victory”), the need for the gospel, how to accept the gospel, how to grow as a Christian, and the sovereign work of God in our lives and in the world. Now, he addresses how we should interact with other believers who have different convictions about what is acceptable and what is not.

These principles of our faith appear in some form in every genuine Christian church and are included in creeds such as the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed. Additionally, the Lord's Prayer is considered part of the rule of faith, serving as a model for prayer and understanding our relationship with God.

Romans: Unity Beyond Conviction
Image

Christians strongly adhere to biblical truths, defending them passionately and living with firm convictions. Many believers have clear opinions about politics, believing all Christians should support a specific political party. Christians can also hold social beliefs. For example, regarding drinking, Scripture clearly states that getting drunk is a sin. Beyond that, there is often a division between those who drink responsibly and those who choose to abstain.
