In the letters Paul begins to explain the truths of Christianity as they are known and are still used today. The idea of humans being able to be forgiven from sin is the one of the main key concepts included. Paul's states that sin is an act of disobedience to god, but also states that it is not an act that cannot be forgiven. The idea of everlasting forgiveness from God was a new and appealing idea to many. Paul wanted people to understand that after sin people need only to ask forgiveness to God and mean it in their heart to be forgiven. Then, when death takes place, they will be appointed to a better place, a place without law of sin. The letter Paul wrote included a few other ideas. The concept of giving to charity with all your heart was a belief widely emphasized. The writings also said that everyone should love your neighbor, to give your neighbor, if in trouble, what he needs, and to let good conquer evil at all costs. Love was a notion that was theorized throughout Paul's letter to the Romans. To love in the name of God meant to "love you neighbor as you love yourself," and to be at peace with the world. In the end of Paul's letters to the Romans concluded that the reason why Christ died, ascended into heaven and came back in glory to institute his lordship over the living and the dead. So we believe, as Christians, the fact that we live for God in each thing we do and die for him as well. Paul is telling the community that everyone belongs to God, no matter race, ethnicity or social status. All that Paul of Tarsus did to preach and spread Christianity set a foundation for the future of the religion. Without Paul's writings, particularly his Letter to the Romans, the basis of Christianity would not have been believed or spread by so many people. The writings that soon became part of the New Testament of the Bible, changed the way many saw the world and made them want to live a life of peace internally and externally with others.
