Paul wanted to go to Rome and visit this church in person. It appears that Paul had been trying to arrange a trip to the church in Rome for a while. So, with no apparent trip on the horizon, Paul writes a letter to the church explaining his love and teaching foundational truths. The Book of Romans became a description & explanation of much of the foundational principles of the Christian faith with some practical guidance. I pray this study on the Book of Romans will further establish you in the faith
