Since the beginning of Christianity, Christians have been engaged in spiritual warfare. Throughout all that time, even up till the present day, Romans has been a kind of spiritual arsenal.
We find a specific example in Martin Luther (1483-1546), who in the 16th century set in motion a series of events that became a very important movement in Christian history, the Reformation (1517-1648). He was inspired by these words in Romans, “The righteous shall live by faith” (Rom. 1:17). Another example can be found in the founder of Methodism, John Wesley (1703-1791), who had his conversion experience by reading Martin Luther’s preface to the Epistle to the Romans. Another example is Augustine of Hippo (354-430), who became a great theologian and advocate for the Christian faith. He was changed by a passage in Romans (Rom. 13:13-14) coming into his dark mind like a flash of light and breaking his dissolute life.
Romans not only changed numerous individuals throughout history, but many of those individuals in turn went on to change the history of Christianity. Indeed, it can be asserted that Romans is a very important book.
Through Romans Explication, we study deeply about salvation and sanctification, the core of the gospel.
