Romans 1:16–The Power of God

Romans 1:16–"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."

This is one of those 'defining' verses for Christianity.  In reality, the gospel of Christ is the power of God for salvation, meaning that to receive the gospel of Christ through faith is, in effect, to receive God's salvific power in one's own life.  To be sure, this one of the most remarkable things about what believing in Christ affords the believer.  What a beautiful thought!

Praise be to our glorious God!
Amen!
