Why did Paul write the book of Romans? It would seem that at this point in his ministry God was showing him the tremendous potential of reaching into the heart of the Roman Empire for Christ. Paul also wanted to get to know them and get their support so that at a later time he could move on into Spain (Romans 15:28). So the letter to the Romans was an introduction of himself as an apostle and of his doctrine so that they would have no question about it. Paul writes this letter to notify them of the truth about Jesus, to show that he was truly an apostle, to give them confidence in him, and to expect his arrival.

Paul was gentle, humble, and he had a loving heart according to Romans 5:5. He had a great sense of God's love and he also had a great love for God. He understood God's love and he loved God in return. He also had a great love for Israel (Romans 9), and a great love for the Church (Romans 16). He also had a great desire to see others love (Romans 13:9,10). Paul is simply full of love and a great example to all of us of the love of Christ.

Now when you have a man with a biblical mind, a determined will to obey God's plan at all costs, and a man filled with love, you have a man that can be used by God to turn the world upside down.

Paul lived to glorify God and he repeatedly tells us throughout his letters to be like him, to follow his example. God can use us in the very same way if we live the way Paul lived and love the way Paul loved.
