In Romans 1:16-17, Paul confidently declares, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.'”
These verses highlight the central theme of Paul’s letter to the Romans: the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul emphasizes that the gospel is not merely a message, but a divine power that transforms the lives of those who believe. It is through faith in Jesus that we receive the righteousness of God and are saved. Paul also emphasizes that the gospel is for everyone, regardless of their background or ethnicity. This message of salvation through faith resonates throughout the book of Romans and reminds believers of the power and universality of the gospel.
