•When God sent His Son into the world, the ancient world benefited from several conditions that made it far easier to spread the news of the good new of salvation. Some of those conditions were:

• Roman Law - This protected Paul and others as they traveled the Roman world and preached the Gospel.

• Roman Peace - The lack of wars in the Roman Empire allowed the Apostles and other early believers to travel freely, without fear.

• Roman Roads - The excellent Roman roads, some of which are still in use today, afforded early Christians with an easy means to travel from town to town.

• The Greek Language - The language of Greece, which was the most common language in the world at that time, was the perfect language for the spread of the Gospel. Greek was an expressive language that allowed deep truth to be explained in great detail.
