The believers in Rome were predominantly Gentile, however Jews must have constituted a substantial minority of the congregation (ch…

Romans 6 “was written between 56 and 57 C.E. (Common Era)” (bible.org). Paul is the author of Romans and is writing to the Christian believer. We know he is writing to the Christian because it says so in Romans 6:1-2, “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?”. The second part of Romans 6:2 states that “we who died to sin still live in it” only those who have accepted Christ and “died to sin”…

The Romans theme was the revelation of God’s righteousness in His plan for salvation. It showed how humans began to lack God’s righteousness because of their sin (Romans, 1:3), receive God’s righteousness when God justifies them by their faith (Romans, 4:5), demonstrate God’s righteousness by being transformed from rebels to followers (Romans, 6:8), confirm His righteousness when God saves the Jews (Romans, 9:11), and apply His righteousness in practical ways throughout their lives (Romans,…
