Chapter 7: POWER PRINCIPLE ONE:THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL.
Sharing from
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.
The reason for his eagerness to preach the gospel appears here. He was not ashamed of it as if it were a weak and useless thing. He knew it was the only way of salvation, the one power of God that was effective in forgiving and changing men and bringing them at last to heaven. In this letter more than in any other he wrote Paul shows what salvation means. It includes justification Rom 3:24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
Romans 5:1
Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,Because God counts believers righteous they are in a state of peace with Him.
Why is the gospel powerful
1) it is the revelation of God’s power to man
2) it brings salvation to all men regardless of the face, color, etc
3) It reveals the judgement and wrath of God against sin
4) It reveals the righteousness of God
5)it shows how to be justified by Faith
