Being a community of Christians

Paul’s letter to the Romans is a letter from a pastor to a Church. It’s not written to individuals, but to a community of people from all walks of life trying to figure out what it means to be a community of Christians in the first century. Sometimes, with its rich theology and detailed gospel presentation, we can make the book of Romans all about our individual salvation, or our individual life in Christ. Let’s not miss the forest for the trees; let’s also read this book as a community, and use it to help us figure out what it means to be a community of Christians in the twenty-first century!
