📚 Historical Context
In the book of Romans, written by the apostle Paul around AD 57 to the Christian community in Rome, he is building an argument that faith, like Abraham's, is the key to righteousness before God, not adherence to the law. This verse specifically refers to Jesus Christ, who was crucified for our sins and raised from the dead to secure our justification, based on the historical events of his death and resurrection around AD 30-33. Paul's letter addresses tensions between Jewish and Gentile believers, emphasizing that salvation comes through Christ's work alone.
