Romans 1:3-7
Introduction
- What is the latest goodnews you have?
- What have you done with it?
The foundation of the Gospel is God’s love for a lost and broken world. When we understand and experience that love, we will love God, and others more, as we have been loved.
A. THE PERSON OF THE GOSPEL (3-4)
“concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh 4 and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord”
1. Fully God, fully Man
- Fully Man: In order for Jesus to be Mediator, he has to be truly man to represent man.
- Fully God: A mediator stands between two parties to make peace between the
two offended sides. If he were to represent man = he must be fully man. If he were to represent God = he again must be fully God.
2. Full proof by His Resurrection
- John 2;19 “Destroy this temple, and in 3 days I will raise it up!”
- Acts 13:29-30, it says, “And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead,”
- Rom 1:4: “according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,”
- The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the pivot point of our faith in Jesus Christ.
B. THE PARTNERS OF THE GOSPEL (5a)
“through whom we have received grace and apostleship”
- We are not just recipient, we are now partners, we are witnesses, we are ambassadors, we are stewards of the gospel
C. THE PURPOSE OF THE GOSPEL (5b)
“to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, 6 including you”“
- It is Repentance and Restoration.
D. THE PEOPLE OF THE GOSPEL (6-7)
“who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, 7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
1. Belonging to Jesus Christ
2. Loved by God
3. Saints (the holy ones)
