ical Christianity and declares that each individual is a sinner, destined to everlasting punishment. Saint Paul asserts that, in the eyes of God, every man, woman, and child is guilty from Adam to Jesus Christ and is bound by sin. He further states that, by good deeds or religious observance, a person cannot pay for sins. Paul clarifies that every man and woman will experience God’s wrath if he or she leaves no place for faith and Jesus Christ (St. Paul n.p.).
When St. Paul was writing to the Romans, his main aim was to spread the Gospel to the gentiles and convince them to believe in Christ and look for salvation through faith. Paul states that the purpose of his visit to Rome was to win the Romans to Christ just as he had converted the gentiles. In the letter to the Romans, Paul says that nobody can claim unrighteous, unjust, or unfair acts of God concerning salvation regardless anything since he or she cannot go straight to God and receive righteousness, but has to go through Jesus Christ. Through personal faith in Christ, righteousness can be reckoned just as Abraham believed in God and received gifts for his faith and fidelity (St. Paul n.p.).
Saint Paul lived in times of persecution of Christians. In his writing, he suggested an alternative way to live under the tyranny of rulers. Paul asserts that, by surrendering life to God and not to regulations, laws, and religious observances, and through the dwelling of the Holy Spirit, people are strengthened to live righteously in their daily life. Faith in Christ changes the conduct, attitude, and outlook of a person. According to Paul, every human being is called to believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ rather than rely solely on religion or good deeds. In addition, every human being should declare that he or she is not ashamed of Christ since salvation is in the power of God only (St. Paul n.p.).
In conclusion, it is clear that all the three writers created their own way to see the new world drawn on historical understanding of the Roman Empire.
