Romans 1
My name is Paul and I am writing this letter to the believers who live in Rome.
I live my life to serve Jesus and preach about Him to the world. This is called being an ‘apostle’.
The message I preach is called the Gospel or the Good News.
It is all about God’s plan to save the world from their sins, through Jesus Christ.
Jesus died on the Cross for our sins and God raised Him to life again. Anyone who believes in Jesus and turns from
their life of sin is ‘saved’.
Jesus was both God and human. His human ancestors go back to King David, but He is also God’s Son.
God has sent me to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles. Gentiles are non-Jewish people.
God showed His amazing plan to save people to the Jewish race first. He has now shown us that this plan is for all nations on the earth. God has shown me that he wants me to focus on bringing this Good News to the non-Jewish people.
I am so proud of you believers in Rome – your faith is being reported all over the world.
I am praying that God will make a way for me to come and visit you soon so that I can encourage and strengthen you.
We can encourage each other with the faith we have.
Your faith will help me and my faith will help you.
I am proud of the Gospel of good News because it teaches people how to be saved. We are saved by believing that Jesus died for our sins.
The most important thing to God is our faith in Him. This is what the Gospel is all about – becoming right with God by putting our faith in Jesus.
God shows his power and divine nature by creating the world and everything in it. Everywhere you look, you can see God at work in nature.
People have no excuse not to believe in God when they can all simply look at the amazing things God has created.
Many people have chosen a lie, rather than the truth, by worshiping the beautiful things God has created rather than worshipping the Creator who made them.
They have chosen to continue living a sinful life, rather than a life that pleases God.
