The Gospel
Twelve times in the Book of Romans
we find the word GOSPEL.
Paul starts with the word Gospel in verse 1
and ends in the last verse,
Romans 16:25, with the word Gospel.
In verse 1…
Paul says the Gospel of God sets him apart
from everything else.
The Gospel is the world Paul lives in.
Romans 1:1…
Set apart for the Gospel of God
Romans 1:2…
Paul tells us the Gospel is a promise of God’s Good News.
Romans 1:2-3…
The gospel He (God) promised beforehand
through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding His Son,
Romans 1:9…
Paul says he preaches the Gospel with a whole heart
and uses the Gospel as a witness to his prayers
for the Romans and a way to come to them.
Romans 1:8-10…
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you,
because your faith is being reported all over the world.
God, whom I serve with my whole heart
in preaching the gospel of his Son,
is my witness how constantly I remember you
in my prayers at all times;
and I pray that now at last by God's will
the way may be opened for me to come to you.
Romans 1:15…
Paul says he is obligated to preach the Gospel
to Greeks and non-Greeks and
to wise and foolish people in Rome.
Romans 1:14-15…
I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks,
both to the wise and the foolish.
That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel
also to you who are at Rome.
Romans 1:16…
Paul is not ashamed of the Gospel
because he knows the Gospel’s power
to save everyone who believes.
Romans 1:16…
I am not ashamed of the gospel,
because it is the power of God
for the salvation of everyone who believes:
first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
Romans 1:17…
Is a mouth full.
The Gospel reveals God’s righteousness.
Paul brings the Gospel and Faith
together again like in Romans 1:1-3.
Faith’s beginning is in the Righteousness of God.
Faith’s end is the same, that is why he says...
"The righteous will live by faith."
Romans 1:17…
For in the gospel a 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."
Romans 2:16…
Tells us Paul’s Gospel.
Paul now personalizes the Gospel.
The Gospel News is not good news to some.
The Gospel is not sugar coated.
Romans 2:16…
This will take place on the day when God
will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ,
as my gospel declares.
Romans 11:28…
The Gospel is a message of Mercy.
Romans 11:28-32…
As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you.
Romans 15:16…
The Gospel is the duty of ministers to share
so people will be sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:15-16…
God gave me to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:19…
Where the Gospel is preached,
there are powerful signs and wonders.
Romans 15:18-19…
by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
Romans 15:20…
The Gospel is to be preached
to those who never heard it.
Romans 15:20…
It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation.
Romans 16:25…
Paul said my Gospel proclaims Jesus Christ
Romans 16:25-27…
Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him— to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

Scripture Reading
Romans 1:1-6 NIV
1:1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— 2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. 6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.
Romans 16:25-27 NIV
25 Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him— 27 to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
