Romans 1:16-17
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first for the Jew, then the Gentile.
For in the gospel the righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written; ” the righteous will live by faith.”
I am not ashamed of the Good news of salvation through Christ Jesus. It is God’s powerful method of bringing us all who believe to live with Him in heaven.
This message was first preached to the Jews, but now to the Gentiles – to all the world. Now everyone is invited to come to God the same way.
The Good News of Salvation tells us that God makes us ready for Heaven – makes us right in God’s sight – when we put our faith and trust in Jesus to save us.
This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Holy Scriptures puts it, ” The person who inherits eternal life will find it through faith and trusting in God, and accepting Jesus as their person Saviour and Lord.
