Paul was born about the time of Christ’s birth in Tarus, an important city in the Roman province of Cilicia, located in Asia Minor. He was also a Roman citizen. Paul wrote Romans from Corinth most likely in A.D. 56. More than any other individual, Paul was responsible for the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. Paul is a perfect example of the redeeming power of Jesus Christ.

Romans 12:1–2 NKJV

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
