3 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the Gospel of God ROMANS 1:1

4 the Gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures ROMANS 1:2

5 regarding His Son, who as to His human nature was a descendant of David, ROMANS 1:3

6 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. ROMANS 1:4

7 Through Him and for His name s sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. ROMANS 1:5

8 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. ROMANS 1:6

9 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. ROMANS 1:7

14 What s ultimate good news to you? Financial Independence? Perfect Relationship? Ideal Health? Something Else?

15 Now to Him who is able to establish you by my Gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, ROMANS 16:25

16 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey Him ROMANS 16:26

17 to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen. ROMANS 16:27

18 The good news centers on whom God has sent. (3,4)

19 Jesus is the heart of the Gospel. He is the promised Messiah of Israel, the Son of God, the Lord. It is what Jesus has done, not just who He is, that makes the Gospel the good news that it is. DOUGLAS MOO

20 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, PHILIPPIANS 2:6

21 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. PHILIPPIANS 2:7

22 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself and became obedient to death even death on a cross! PHILIPPIANS 2:8

23 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, PHILIPPIANS 2:9

24 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, PHILIPPIANS 2:10

25 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. PHILIPPIANS 2:11

26 The good news designates both carriers and recipients. (1,2, 5a)

27 The Gospel is not an afterthought of God. God didn t hastily throw it together as the remedy for the wreck of humanity. It is no new novelty. ALVA McCLAIN

28 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, HEBREWS 1:1

29 but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe. HEBREWS 1:2

30 The Son is the radiance of God s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful Word HEBREWS 1:3

31 After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. HEBREWS 1:3

32 The good news calls its hearers to personal response. (5b 7)

33 Personal Response

34 Personal Response Faith

35 Personal Response Faith Obedience that Issues from Faith

36 Paul saw his task as calling men and women to submission to the lordship of Christ, a submission that began with conversion but which was to continue in a deepening, lifelong commitment. DOUGLAS MOO

37 Personal Response Faith Obedience that Issues from Faith

38 Personal Response Faith Identity as Those Loved by God Obedience that Issues from Faith

39 Personal Response Faith Obedience that Issues from Faith Identity as Those Loved by God Identity as Those Consecrated by God

40 The good news is the Gospel of God, about Christ, according to Scripture, for the nations, unto the obedience of faith, and for the sake of the name. JOHN STOTT

41 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, HEBREWS 6:19

42 where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. HEBREWS 6:20A

43 We get confused by the what ifs in life.

44 We get confused by the what ifs in life. Jesus, however, is the what is.

45 The good news you embrace must be the good news God gave or it isn t really good news.
