“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”
Romans 1:16-17 KJV
Paul announced, “I refuse to be ashamed of the wonderful message of God’s liberating power unleashed in us through Christ! For I am thrilled to preach that everyone who believes is saved—the Jew first, and then people everywhere! This Gospel unveils a continual revelation of God’s righteousness—a perfect righteousness given to us when we believe. And it moves us from receiving life through faith, to the power of living by faith. This is what the Scripture means when it says: “We are right with God through life-giving faith!” Salvation came to us through the Jewish people in our Lord Jesus Christ, historically. For the Jew it meant moving from faith in the Torah and doing well, to faith in the works of Yeshua, the Living Torah, Who alone brings us into salvation’s power - it is through faith in the finished work of the Cross, that the righteous enter into Life, Jew or non-Jew alike. There is no other way. Jesus asks us to only believe in Him! Thank You, Jesus!
