What is Epistle to the Romans?
'''The Epistle to the Romans''' or '''Letter to the Romans''', is one of the [[letter]]s written by the [[Saint Paul|Apostle Paul]] to [[Christian church|churches]] in different [[city|cities]]. Here, the letter is addressed to the early church in [[Rome]], [[Italy]]. Paul wrote the letter to the Romans to explain a very important point in [[Christianity]]. He proves, by quoting the [[Old Testament]], that all humankind is guilty of [[sin]] before God. People whom God calls righteous can only do so by trusting in God's ways, and not by their own effort. Only by believing in [[Jesus]], who is the [[Christ]] and who died for humanity for their sins, can people be saved. Once this [[belief]] is had, the believer receives the [[Holy Spirit]], who helps the believer live a new life. Paul asks the Romans to observe Christian [[ethics]] and submit themselves to authorities. The letter remains very influential in explaining to non-Christians and new Christians what their Christian belief is all about. {{Books of the Bible}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Romans}} [[Category:Pauline epistles]] [[Category:New Testament books]]
