Last week I focused on the first words of Romans 1:16: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel.” I tried to make plain that there is a difference between being shamed for the gospel and being ashamed ofthe gospel.

Today, I want to dwell on the words, “for it [the gospel] is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” And I will take up only one question: What is this salvation that the gospel so powerfully brings about? We will see in answering this how our faith relates to the gospel in bringing about our salvation. There are other crucial que...
But what is the salvation that Paul has in mind in Romans 1:16 when he says, “For [the gospel] is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes”? I think he has in mind not primarily the first event of conversion, but primarily the final triumph of the gospel in bringing believers to eternal safety and joy in the presence of a holy and gl...
I close with one huge implication of what I have said. Do you feed your faith day by day with the promises of this triumphant gospel? Do you, as a believer, go to the gospel day by day and savor its power in verses like Romans 8:32: “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all th...

Jul 3, 2013 · B. Salvation requires the very power of God. The gospel does not tell people about the power of God. Rather, it is “the power of God for salvation.” This means that salvation is not something that sinners can attain by their own efforts or good works. If that were so, Christ did not need to die on the cross.
