Romans 1–6
“𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙿𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛 𝚘𝚏 𝙶𝚘𝚍 𝚞𝚗𝚝𝚘 𝚂𝚊𝚕𝚟𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗”

By the time Paul wrote his epistle to Roman Church members, who were a diverse group of Jews and Gentiles, the Church of Jesus Christ had grown far beyond a small band of believers from Galilee.

About 20 years after the Savior’s Resurrection, there were congregations of Christians almost everywhere the Apostles could reasonably travel—including Rome, the capital of a powerful empire.

Still, compared to the vastness of the Roman empire, the Church was small and often the object of persecution.

In such conditions, some might feel “ashamed of the gospel of Christ”—but, of course, not Paul.

He knew and testified that true power, “the power of God unto salvation,” is found in the gospel of Jesus Christ (Romans 1:16).
