Romans 1:16 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. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
Paul loved to share the good news of the gospel, letting everyone he could know that the Christ had come, and we could be made right with God. But he did not live in a fairytale world. He also saw the great rejection of God and His plan by many people. As his letter continues, we will keep going back and forth between these two important realizations. Using illustrations from redemptive history we will see that this goes back to Abraham and even Adam. The best news is that the power of the gospel can and has overcome sin.
