The Historical Impact of Rome on the Church and the Gospel

Romans is Paul’s longest letter and is written to the church in Rome, a church that he didn’t plant and isn’t fully acquainted with. His purpose in writing is to introduce himself and confirm what the church in Rome believers about the gospel. In these opening verses Paul on two occasions shares the gospel, culminating in verses 16 and 17. The gospel is to be our way of life, not a religious practice once a week. Paul’s concern for the roman church is that they will remain firm in the gospel and not be ashamed of it. We too are to be sincere about the gospel and proclaim it in each and every opportunity that comes our way.
