Paul took Jesus' message out of Palestine through well-organized missionary trips throughout the eastern portion of the Roman Empire. He preached to and converted Hellenistic Jews and many non-Jews, called Gentiles, who were themselves disenchanted with pagan cults and the state religion of the Empire, which required the worship of the emperor as a deity. Paul was also the writer of many of the books or letters which make up the New Testament. His ministry was crucial to the spread of Christianity. After preaching for several decades, Paul was eventually condemned by the Roman state, and was executed around the year A.D 65. After Paul was crucified, the Roman leaders felt threatened and required and essential act of patriotism, which all Christians refused to take part in. The Christians were then known as traitors to the Romans and they were persecuted periodically. Such persecutions sometimes led to Christians being killed in Roman sporting events. But by the end of the 3rd century, all persecutions came to an end, having failed in destroying the Christian faith. Then in A.D 313, Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity throughout the Empire. By 395, Christianity was declared the sole religion of the Roman Empire.

How did Roman leader try to stop the spread of Christianity?

Why did the Romans try to stop the spread of Christianity?
The Romans did not try to stop the spread of Christianity. There were alternations between periods of toleration and periods of persecution. Some Roman emperors thought that Christianity was a threat to the Roman state because many bureaucrats and soldiers converted to Christianity. The Romans saw their state as being interlinked with Roman Religion. The persecutions were aimed mainly at the civil service and the Christian clergy, rather than Christianity as such. The last and worse persecution, the Great Persecution, failed because it was difficult to implement, because of the resistance of the Christians and because it undermined the stability of the empire. After that, the emperors endorsed Christianity, favored it over other religions and promoted it. Eventually, Christianity became the state religion of the empire. With imperial support, the spread of Christianity accelerated.

Why did Paul follow in Jesus footsteps?
A zealous persecutor of the Christians one day Saul was traveling on the road from Jerusalem to Damascus on a mission to "bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem" when the resurrected Jesus appeared to him in a great light and asked "Saul, why do you persecute me?". Saul was blinded by the great light, but his sight was restored by Ananias a Christian living in Damascus. Saul became a Christian himself at this point, was baptised, took the new name Paul, and was as zealous to spread Christianity from then on as he had been to persecute Christians and try to eliminate Christianity before his direct encounter with the resurrected Jesus.
