Salvation
Read Romans 1.16-17
“‘the gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes” (Rom.1.16)
Paul reveled in the gospel! The message doesn’t simply speak about the saving power of God: it is itself the power of God for salvation, as it is received and embraced by faith, regardless of pedigree or performance. The gospel is sheer dynamite!
What did Paul mean by saying it was “first to the Jew, then to the Gentile”?
Paul quotes Habakkuk 2.4 to summarise the gospel: how would you articulate the message of the Bible in a simple one-liner?
Prayer: Give me, O Lord, an ever greater grasp of the greatness of Your gospel, that far from being ashamed or embarrassed I may be keen to share it with others.
