Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart
for the gospel of God—
Paul in the Epistle to the Romans declares that he was called to be an apostle and that he was a servant of Jesus Christ set apart for the gospel of God. In other epistles such as Ephesians and Galatians he explained that he was given revelation from God concerning this gospel. He was in fact writing under the authority and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. His writings are infallible and without error.
The book of
Romans is the most comprehensive explanation of the gospel given in the
bible. It is the gospel of God for
which Paul was set apart. In this gospel he Paul lays out how the wrath of God
is on sinners, which includes all human beings at their birth. Then he explains how human beings can be
made right with God [justified] through Jesus Christ and become Saints. Next he explains how Saints are sanctified
through the Spirit of God and not Old Covenant Law. Throughout
the letter he deals with the distinction between physical Israel and spiritual
Israel. He closes the letter with
practical applications on New Covenant morality and living.
