Romans About this letter
About this letter
Paul wrote this letter about 2,000 years ago, about 20 years after Jesus went back to heaven, and it is now in the Holy Bible.
Paul wrote this letter to the Christians that were living in the city called Rome, in the country called Italy, where Italian people come from. At that time Rome was a very important city.
Some of the Christians in Rome were Jews. That means that they belonged to the same nation as Jesus, and Paul, and most of the other people in the Holy Bible. But some other Christians in Rome were not Jews.
A long time before Paul wrote this letter, God gave a special law to the Jews. He didn’t give that law to other people, that were not Jews. But some Christian Jews in Rome thought that God would not save anyone that didn’t follow that law. So Paul wrote this letter to tell them that God will save anyone that believes in Jesus. The law is important, but it isn’t the way for God to save people.
We have translated the parts of this letter that are important for people that are not Jews, like Indigenous Australians and most of the other people in Australia. We have not yet translated the parts of this book that are mainly talking to Jewish people.
This book has a lot of good messages for everyone, about how God saves people, and about how the Holy Spirit helps them. So it is very important for us today.
