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. If you are a faithful Christian, you will be shamed for the gospel. That is, you will be the target of shaming behavior. But there is a very...
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?
