  1. Not Ashamed Co For I Am Of the Gospel

  2. Part 2 - Not Ashamed Romans 1:8-17

  3. The book of Romans is the “quintessence and perfection of saving doctrine” according to 17th century Puritan Thomas Draxe and the “purest Gospel” in Martin Luther’s words. Romans is a foundational book to Christian doctrine and an essential book for understanding God’s perfect law of Liberty. It has been regarded as the New Testament counterpart to the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy. Paul writes this book to a group of believers living in Rome in anticipation that he will one day visit and minister to them in person.

  4. Paul’s opening address to the Romans focuses upon the power and prominence of the gospel (4 references in first 16 verses) culminating in Paul’s bold declaration that he was not ashamed of the gospel or more literally the “good news.” The good news that Paul proclaimed was the message that the power and path to salvation was through belief in the finished work of Jesus Christ in His death and resurrection.

  5. This gospel message is the power for our salvation and our continued sanctification (the process by which we become more like Christ) as expressed in Paul’s statement, “the just shall live by faith.” Central to Paul’s life, ministry and proclamation was the gospel; a message he found on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). Paul never outgrew the gospel and it’s power!
