Romans,
along with Galatians has been misunderstood by many. Martin
Luther, John Wesley, and others have come to this book with preconceived
ideas and left it with what they thought was “support”
for their false doctrines. But coming to Romans with an
honest and sincere heart, open to the will of God, one comes
away understanding the relationship that we have with Christ.
The righteousness of God is seen in this letter and as
Romans 6 shows it is through baptism that we enter the newness
of life that we must have to be saved.
Paul here is writing to congregations
in the city of Rome that he has never visited, but shows in chapter
16 that he is not unfamiliar with a number of Christians in the
city. Paul describes himself as a “bond-servant of Christ
Jesus” and as
“an
apostle” in
Romans 1:1.
This letter was probably written
from Corinth in about 57-58 AD and ties in with Acts 19-23. As
noted in Galatians, Paul wrote that letter himself, but a more
common method would have been for Paul to use a writer to record
as he spoke the message. At least that is what seems to
be the case here as we note in Romans 16:22..
