Romans 1

 

Romans 1 serves as the introduction to Paul’s letter to the Romans, where he outlines the power of the gospel and its role in revealing God’s righteousness. Paul points out the universality of sin and the need for faith, setting the stage for the themes of grace and salvation that will unfold throughout the letter. He begins by establishing his credentials as an apostle and expressing his longing to visit the Roman believers. Paul highlights the gospel as the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, both Jew and Gentile. This chapter also addresses the consequences of humanity’s rejection of God, leading to a life of idolatry and immorality. As you study this chapter, consider how the gospel has transformed your life and how you can share its power with others.
