About this listen

On today's episode, we dive into the book of Romans, who it was written to, and why. Rome was a melting pot of politics, lifestyle, and culture. During the time of Jesus, it was running rampant with all kinds of sin and idolatry. Rome was a polytheistic society, which meant they didn't believe in one, single God. They believed in many gods, and even saw their own emperor as a god. You can imagine how difficult it must have been to get the Gospel to such a pagan society! However, Paul's letter to the Romans lays out the Gospel so clearly and truthfully, that Rome produced some very powerful Christians. Christians who persevered in the face of a worldly, sinful society. Even in today's day and age, it can feel like we are living in a pagan society, and it can be tough to be Christlike and spread the gospel in such a time as this, however, I think we can all learn something from Paul's letter to the Romans. I think if we read it and apply it to our lives today, we will see that the book of Romans is still very relevant.
