Faithfully Embracing and Boldly Proclaiming the Gospel (Romans 1:16–17)

guest speaker: Cyril Florita Romans 1:16–17 (NASB)16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyonewho believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of Godis revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.” We must grasp two (2) life-changing truths about the gospel so that we would faithfullyembrace it for ourselves and boldly proclaim it to others. 2 Reasons to Embrace and Proclaim the Gospel: 1) It Is God’s Power to Save (v.16) 2) It Is God’s Righteousness Revealed (v.17) Explanation:Paul’s epistle to the Romans served as an introduction to his apostleship and as ademonstration of his gospel-ministry (1:1–6). Paul wanted to forge a relationship withthem by edifying them and strengthening their faith so they would partner with him in hismissionary plans for Spain (1:8–13; 15:28). Because of his God-given call and obligationto preach Christ to all people, he expressed how he was eager to preach the gospel tothem (1:14–15).And so, with our passage, at the beginning of verse 16, Paul uses the conjunction “for” togive a reason as to why he was so eager to preach—he was not ashamed of the gospel andhad complete confidence in it. Then, for the rest of verses 16 and 17, he again uses theconjunction “for” twice to further explain why he had such confidence in the gospel. Forreason , he presents how the gospel is the very power of God to save everyone whobelieves. And for reason , he presents how the gospel reveals the righteousness of God,which is received through faith, from beginning to end.
