FAQs

What is the gospel of Grace that Paul preached in the book of Romans explain in details? ›

God's grace motivates Paul to preach to every person on the earth, regardless of their status, race, or level of knowledge. If we always saw ourselves in the light of God's grace, it would change how we deal with people. Once we accept the truth of grace, we would not be self-righteous, arrogant people.

Paul says in Romans 5:21, “As sin reigned in death, even so grace reigns through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (my translation). Grace is the power of a king: it “reigns” and leads mightily to eternal life through Christ.

Paul elevates the role of faith, describing it as the sole means by which people can attain salvation. Through Jesus's self-sacrifice, Paul teaches, God gave men the free gift of a covenant of salvation. It is only by faith in Jesus that one attains salvation.

Paul, in the sixteenth verse of Romans 1 says, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” The general theme of our meditation is the power of God in the gospel of Christ.

Paul writes in his epistles that the gift of God's grace grants power and that all the diverse spiritual gifts (or powers) are received through grace: “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith” (Rom. 12:6, NIV).

The true gospel of the Bible is the gospel of grace alone, by faith alone, in Christ alone, plus or minus nothing. Jesus did it all when he took our sins upon himself and died on the cross. It is arrogant and prideful to think that we could do anything to add to what Christ did. Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe.

The book of Romans provides us with a concise summary of the Gospel. In its initial chapters, Paul focuses on doctrine, that is, on the pillars of truth that we know about ourselves and about God. The last five chapters focus more on advice and encouragement for how to live out of this knowledge.

Paul argued that Jesus is the only righteous one. As we read his letter to the Romans, we learn that Jews and non-Jews alike have missed the point. The Law cannot make someone righteous, but it can point to the one who is, Jesus, who came to make all things right. He mends the rifts that separate us from one another.

It gives us the most expanded explanation of God's past, present, and future dealings with Israel in all the Bible (9-11). 14. It includes the most comforting verse in the Scriptures for Christians in distress (8:28). Romans 8 is considered by many as the most profound and precious chapter in the New Testament.

In his own words, Paul is not ashamed of the gospel “because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes” (Rom 1:16). To Paul, the gospel is not merely a set of beliefs to defend, but an experienced world and life-transforming power.

Why did Paul preach to the Romans? ›

(1) To prepare for his future arrival in Rome. For years Paul had wanted to preach the gospel in Rome (see Acts 19:21; Romans 1:15; 15:23). He also hoped the Church in Rome would serve as a base from which he could serve a mission to Spain (see Romans 15:22–24, 28). (2) To clarify and defend his teachings.

Paul understood the situation and wrote the letter to both the Jewish and the Gentile Christians in Rome in order to persuade them to build up a peaceful and close relationship between their house churches.

The word "gospel" means "good news", and "grace" means "good will, loving kindness, unmerited favor". So Paul was given the ministry to proclaim the good news: That GOD has provided a way of salvation for sinners! That GOD has done this on the basis of grace, without requiring merit on the part of sinners!

“…the gospel… is come unto you, as it is in all the world, and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth” (Col. 1:5,6). How wonderful to see the gospel of the grace of God do its work!

Acts 20:32 The Passion Translation (TPT)

“And so now, I entrust you into God's hands and the message of his grace, which is all that you need to become strong. All of God's blessings are imparted through the message of his grace, which he provides as the spiritual inheritance given to all of his holy ones.

In fact, Paul makes it clear in the book of Romans that jusification by grace is conditional when he says, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand" (Rom. 5:1-2).
