How did Christianity first reach Rome? We can't be positive. but it may be that Jews from Rome who were converted in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost (see Acts 2:10) carried back the good news. That was in A.D. 30. Paul had never been in Rome when he wrote this letter from Corinth 28 years later. But he knew quite a few of the Christians there, as is seen in chapter 16. Christians in those days were people on the move, whether as a result of persecution or as heralds of the gospel or in the ordinary course of their work. These Christians in Rome were from both Jewish and Gentile backgrounds.
Paul finally did reach Rome around A.D. 60, but not in the way he expected. He came as a prisoner of Christ Jesus. His Letter to the Romans is a classic. The unsaved can go to it for a clear exposition of their sinful, lost condition and of God's righteous plan for saving them. Young believers learn of their identification with Christ and of victory through the power of the Holy Spirit. Mature believers find never-ending delight in its wide spectrum of Christian truth-doctrinal, prophetical, and practical.
