##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans holds a significant place in
Christian theology, as it introduces essential concepts such as
justification, imputation, adoption, and sanctification. While the
epistle explores the theory of righteousness bestowed by God
through faith in Jesus Christ, it also emphasizes the practical
application of this doctrine in the lives of believers. This article aims
to conduct a brief exegetical study, focusing on the practical
implications of justification by faith and its relevance to the present
suffering of believers. The literary and historical context of the
epistle supports the authorship of the apostle Paul, as evidenced by
the emphasis on justification, the understanding of Jewish
perspectives, and Paul's role as the apostle to the Gentiles. By
delving into the depths of this doctrine and its implications, this
study aims to shed light on the transformative power of faith and its
significance in the face of adversity for believers today.
