In a city divided by class, ethnicity, and culture, the gospel unites Jews, Gentiles, rich, poor, slaves, and free into one family.

Unlike Roman culture—which prized personal freedom and privilege—Christians willingly limit their freedoms for the sake of one another.

The church must not mirror Rome’s contempt for the weak; instead, it must be a community of honour and welcome.

Rome was known for indulgence, immorality, and spectacle; the church is to live as people awake to eternity.
