📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the early Christian church in Rome consisted of both Jewish and Gentile believers who often faced persecution, economic hardship, and the challenges of a growing community. Paul, writing his letter to the Romans from Corinth around 57 AD, emphasized practical expressions of faith as part of a transformed life dedicated to God, urging believers to support one another through sharing resources. Hospitality was especially important in that era, as travel was perilous and inns were unreliable, making it a key way for Christians to care for missionaries and fellow believers.
