Author: The Apostle Paul.
Date Written: Between a.d. 56 and 58.
Title: Refers to the addressee of this letter, the church at Rome.
Background: Paul is completing his third missionary journey and anticipating a visit to Jerusalem and, ultimately, his first trip to Rome. Paul writes this letter to introduce himself and to summarize his understanding of the gospel message.
Where Written: The city of Corinth in Greece.
To Whom: To the Christians in Rome, both Jewish and Gentile. (With over a million inhabitants, Rome was the center of one of the greatest empires the world has ever known.)
Content: The book of Romans, the longest of Paul’s 13 New Testament letters, is an elaborate, theological discussion on salvation and the doctrine of justification by faith alone. Paul systematically reflects on his gratitude for God’s salvation through grace, as law and grace are contrasted, and his determination to make Christ known to men everywhere. God’s dealing with Israel and His purpose for the Jews are detailed. Righteousness apart from works is further illustrated through the example of Abraham’s life (ch. 4). Finally, practical applications concerning Christian duties and ethics are given.
Key Words: “Sin”; “Salvation”; “Faith.”
Paul clearly explains that broken fellowship with God is a result of “sin” in our lives, and “salvation” is available only by “faith” in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
Themes: • Everyone is born with a sinful nature, “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (3:23). • All of us, like Paul, have inner conflicts from the sinful tendencies of our natural man. • Salvation is a free gift—its essence is not S-I-N, but S-O-N (God’s Son). • Absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of God. • Only through the perfect Jesus Christ can we become righteous. • Justification is by faith, not by good works. • Sanctification is through the indwelling Holy Spirit, not through keeping religious laws. • Everyone trusting in Jesus Christ will be saved and given the ability through the Spirit of God to live victoriously. • Divine power for holy living is imparted through the Holy Spirit.
