The Gospel

In Romans 1:16, Paul boldly proclaims, “I am not ashamed of the gospel.” His writing is a witness for this statement. This week we begin to read the Epistles. The apostle Paul wrote thirteen of these letters to churches. and each one is a call to live in the power of the gospel. For Paul, the gospel is all about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Central to Paul’s writings is the person of Jesus. Paul points to Jesus on every page. The answers to all of life’s questions are found in Jesus. Jesus is the source of life, salvation, peace, and hope. Jesus is the standard for action, thought, feeling, and motivation. Over and over, Paul calls us to live in the presence and the power of Jesus. Paul is not ashamed to be led by Christ, live in relationship with Jesus, and proclaim the love of the Savior for all mankind. Paul shares this message in order for you and I to have Christ embedded on our hearts.
