The Gospel of the Son - Sunday Service
Paul was called to be an apostle, set apart to proclaim the gospel of God's Son, Jesus Christ. He expressed his desire and prayers to visit Rome and enjoy the mutual encouragement from their faith and his. This gospel of the Son, is the fulfillment of God's ancient promise to king David that his descendant would be the eternal ruler over all. This also highlights the Messiah's humanity as the Son of man, while His resurrection highlights His deity as the Son of God. The gospel is not just what Christ has done for us, but it also includes the truth that as man, Christ can represent all human beings, and as God, He qualifies as the only perfect and holy sacrifice able to atone for the sins of humanity. Paul was not ashamed of proclaiming God's plan of salvation because it is able to save people from their sins and upholds the righteousness of God's holy character.
