THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE ROMANS
CHAPTER 1
OUR POWERFUL GOD
THE POWER OF GOD & PURPOSE OF GOD & YOU
Nice to see you back here at Daily Bread! Now that you've finished the Acts of the Apostles, you're in
for a real treat because the author of the next fourteen books of the New
Testament is the Apostle Paul.
Looking back at
Paul's ministry, you might remember that Paul wanted to go to Rome, knowing
that the need for the Romans to receive the Gospel was very great (Acts
19:21). Why was it so great a need for the Romans? Because the majority
of the world at that time was ruled by the Roman Empire, and Paul wanted to
spread the Gospel as far and wide as he possibly could. Also, the Lord
Himself told Paul that he must bear witness in Rome (Acts
23:11).
This letter begins with Paul expressing his wishes to the Romans to visit
them, so we can assume that it was written before he was imprisoned there,
and that it was one of Paul's earlier writings.
POWERFUL GOD TRUTH
THE POWER OF GOD & PURPOSE OF GOD PATH
First Paul
identifies himself as an Apostle that was chosen and prophesied about in
scripture to spread the Gospel of Jesus, and gives Him glory for His
Grace to those who are
faithful. Then he addresses his letter to all the
Christians in Rome with a greeting of grace and peace from God and Jesus.
He thanks God for them and mentions that their faith is known about
worldwide and promises that he sincerely hopes that he will at last be able
to visit them.
For a long time
Paul wanted to visit Rome, and for one reason or another he was always
unable to. He wanted to share his passion for Christianity with them, but
there were so many places where he had to preach the Gospel ... Remember, he
was responsible for spreading the Word to all the Gentiles ...
Non-Israelites ... That's a lot of territory. But he didn't want those in Rome
to feel neglected or that he wasn't ready to preach to them for any other
reason.
POWERFUL GOD AND HIS LOVE
THE POWER OF GOD & PURPOSE OF GOD JOURNEY
I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that are in Rome also.
For I'm not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ,
because it is the power of God for Salvation to every one that believes;
to the Jewish first, and also to the Greek.
For within the Gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed from Faith to Faith:
as it is written, The just shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4).
The wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold back the TRUTH in unrighteousness,
because the things which may be known of God is shown to them,
for God has showed it to them.
For the invisible things of Him, from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made
(Job 12:7-9,
Psalms 19:1-6),
even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without pardon,
because, when they knew God, they didn't glorify Him as God, neither were they thankful,
but became conceited in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
and changed the glory of the immortal God into an image
made like mortal man, and to birds,
and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
This may sound a little confusing, but if you looked up the scripture in
Job and Psalms, you know exactly what Paul is getting at here. If Paul were
here right now, in today's language he might say, God makes Himself known to
all that He creates.
POWERFUL GOD
THE POWER OF GOD & PURPOSE OF GOD
For that reason, God also gave them up to uncleanness
through the lusts of their own hearts,
to dishonor their own bodies between themselves,
who changed the truth of God into a lie,
and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator,
who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to vile affections:
for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature,
and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that reward of their error which was due.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a corrupt mind, to do those things which are not proper,
being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate,
deceit, malignity, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers,
without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful,
who knowing the righteous judgment of God,
that they which commit such things are worthy of death,
not only do these same things, but have pleasure in them that do them.
POWERFUL GOD CONCLUSION
THE POWER OF GOD & PURPOSE OF GOD SUMMARY
Now as much as it sounds like Paul is talking about today's day and age,
he was really talking about things that happened a long long time ago. And
that's why Christians who are not blinded by the world today, can relate so
well to the Word of God ... It is not only universal, but it is timeless as
well. Come
on back soon, and we'll find out what Paul says further about these things,
being as he's describing our world today as well, in your next Daily Bread!
