I. Paul was not ashamed of the gospel

Romans 1:8 ESV

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.

Romans 1:9 ESV

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you

Romans 1:8–14 ESV

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God’s will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine. I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles. I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

Romans 1:10 ESV

always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God’s will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.

I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

Romans 1:15 ESV

So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

Romans 1:16a ESV

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Romans 1:15-16a

The Gospel is good news

The gospel is the announcement of God’s work in human history to save sinners

II. The Gospel is the power of God for salvation

Romans 1:16 ESV

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

1. The gospel is the power of God

2. For salvation of everyone who believes

III. The Gospel reveals the righteousness of God

Romans 1:17 ESV

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Righteousness has both a legal sense and a relational sense

Righteousness is revealed, not worked for

Righteousness comes from faith and leads to faith

The more we trust Jesus, the more we trust Jesus

The Gospel is how God is choosing to restore the world and make it right again.

The Gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone and anyone who believes.
