          Welcome back to Daily Bread! Now that you’ve finished the Acts of the Apostles, you’re in for a real treat because the author of the next fourteen books of the New Testament is the Apostle Paul.

          Looking back at Paul’s ministry, you might remember that Paul wanted to go to Rome, knowing that the need for the Romans to receive the Gospel was very great (Acts 19:21). Why was it so great a need for the Romans? Because the majority of the world at that time was ruled by the Roman Empire, and Paul wanted to spread the Gospel as far and wide as he possibly could. Also, the Lord Himself told Paul that he must bear witness in Rome (Acts 23:11).

          This letter begins with Paul expressing his wishes to the Romans to visit them, so we can assume that it was written before he was imprisoned there, and that it was one of Paul’s earlier writings.

For a long time Paul wanted to visit Rome, and for one reason or another he was always unable to. He wanted to share his passion for Christianity with them, but there were so many places where he had to preach the Gospel ... Remember, he was responsible for spreading the Word to all the Gentiles ... Every nation but Israel ... That's a lot of territory. But he didn't want those in Rome to feel neglected or that he wasn't ready to preach to them for any other reason.

POWER OF GOD BIBLE VERSES LESSON WITH POWER OF GOD BIBLE VERSES EXPLANATION

I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that are in Rome also.
For I’m not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ,
because it is the power of God for Salvation to every one that believes;
to the Jewish first, and also to the Greek.
For within the Gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed from Faith to Faith:
as it is written, The just shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4).
The wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold back the TRUTH in unrighteousness,
because the things which may be known of God is shown to them,
for God has showed it to them.
For the invisible things of Him, from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made (Job 12:7-9, Psalms 19:1-6),
even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without pardon,
because, when they knew God, they didn’t glorify Him as God, neither were they thankful,
but became conceited in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
and changed the glory of the immortal God into an image made like mortal man, and to birds,
and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
 

          This may sound a little confusing, but if you looked up the scripture in Job and Psalms, you know exactly what Paul is getting at here. If Paul were here right now, in today’s language he might say, Everything that God created, knows the invisible things of God ... Except man, and instead of honoring God for making man, man tries to make a God.
