📚 Historical Context

In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Romans to explain the gospel's transformative power amid a world marred by sin and suffering. He drew from the Genesis account of the Fall, where creation was subjected to futility and decay as a consequence of human rebellion against God. Paul assured early believers that this bondage would not last forever, pointing to a future redemption tied to the glory of God's children.
